DACING On Ice viewers were left shocked this evening as Jason Gardiner revealed he was “perving” over Wes Nelson.
The normally Mr Nasty judge made the surprising comment after Wes’ first performance of the evening.
He told him: "Wes and Vanessa, you know you’ve smashed it when I can sit back here and just perv."
Clearly smitten, he continued: "The two of you are just so phenomenal together. You look great. And I just have nothing else to say other than you deserve to be in the final."
While Wes saw the funny side, those watching at home were surprised by the pre-watershed remark.
One person wrote: “DOI is a family show is it not? Why would Jason Gardiner think it's acceptable to say he can sit back and perv??? Seriously that is not what we want to hear whilst enjoying Sunday teatime TV. I'm not a prude in any way but think that comment was out of order.”
Another ranted: “Great dance - shame Jason Gardiner had to spoil it by making an awkward inappropriate comment afterwards!”
While someone else added: “#DancingOnIce Jason Gardiner comment will take a bit of explaining to young kids. Get rid of him he's totally inappropriate.”
Love Island star Wes opened the Dancing On Ice final with a brilliant routine that earned him 40 out of 40.
The reality TV favourite and his skating partner Vanessa Bauer performed an array of daring lifts and spins during their high-energy routine on the ITV show.
Each of the four judges - Ashley Banjo, Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean and Jason Gardiner - awarded the pair a perfect 10.
Wes said it was "an honour" even to be in the final, in the presence of "legends" such as Torvill and Dean.
