Dancing On Ice viewers were left fuming after Charlie Brooks became the fifth contestant to be eliminated and accused judges of ‘overmarking’ Anton Ferdinand.

The EastEnders favourite, 43, who was partnered up with pro Eric Radford, battled it all out against the former footballer, 39, to earn a spot in the skate-off dance, but ultimately lost out on her place in the compeтιтion.

While saying goodbye after learning she was the next to be eliminated, Charlie candidly said she was ready to go after ‘weeks of hard graft’. 

The actress told hosts Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern that she began to feel ‘out of her depth’ as the show unfolded, acknowledging that could have been the ‘right person’ to be eliminated.

But viewers of the hit ITV show were not of the same opinion, and instead remarked Charlie danced ‘much better’ than Anton, claiming judges ‘over marked’ him on purpose – commenting on X:

‘Okay but dan had more mistakes than both charlie and Michaela and it was Vanessa that did all the tricks, he just stayed on two feet for the whole dance…. but sure lets give him 9.5s #DancingOnIce’.

‘Charlie skated most of her dance on one foot, anton was on two for the whole thing… i know what i think is more impressive #DancingOnIce’.  

Last week, Charlie was left without a partner after their professional dancer Eric had to pull out due to an injury.

It was a huge blow for Charlie and Eric as they were only days away from performing their new routine.

Announcing the news, Dancing On Ice’s official X account revealed that he sustained his injury during rehearsals.

Alongside a picture of the pro skater, the account penned: ‘Unfortunately, Eric Radford has sustained an injury during rehearsals.

‘Following medical advice, he will not be able to skate with Charlie Brooks this week. Brendyn Hatfield will skate with Charlie.

‘We wish Eric a quick recovery and hope to see him back on the ice next week.’ 

It believed that Eric sustained a back injury and was rushed to the hospital for an MRI scan.

Speaking about the shock injury, Charlie told the Sun: ‘Eric had an injury in his back and then his quad wasn’t firing properly so he’s having to have an MRI and has been told he has to have this week off the ice, which is so gutting.

‘It’s such a shame, he’s my number one and I will be lost without him.

‘But I’m trying to flip it and think that it will be exciting to be able to skate with someone else, and Brendyn is wicked so it will be nice to get to know him a little bit.’
