Audiences wondered why the show couldn’t have started 15 minutes earlier after the former S Club 7 singer Hannah Spearritt was hurriedly eliminated from the ITV ice skating competition on Sunday. Former S Club 7 singer becomes latest celebrity to be eliminated “This is why DOI needs to be on for two hours – that way they can fit in a skate-off.” “Couldn’t the show have started 15 minutes earlier, was only repeat of limitless win on before the news earlier,” another comment read. “Seemed extra rushed ending to tonight’s show and strange no skate off would 15 minutes earlier to fit things in have hurt?” Several people wondered about the decision to shelve the skate-off for one episode only, with viewers noting the show’s original format will be reinstated from next week.
