Dancing On Ice viewers were vent their frustrations at the show, just moments into the new series.
The show's fifteenth series kicked off tonight, with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby at the helm and on hosting duties, whilst the ice panel - made up of skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean as well as dancers Oti Mabuse and Ashley Banjo - were also back for the brand new 2023 series to give their scores and verdicts on the celebrities' performances.
However, it wasn't long before frustrated fans took to Twitter to fume over the new series and quickly made their feelings very clear.
Tonight, Michelle Heaton and Łukasz Różycki, Joey Essex and Vanessa Bauer and Patsy Palmer and Matt Evers will all perform, as well as Nile Wilson and Olivia Smar, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Brendyn Hatfield and Siva Kaneswaran and Klabera Komini.
Next week, the remaining five stars and their skating partners will take to the ice for the first time including Darren Harriott and Tippy Packard, Mollie Gallagher and Sylvain Longchambon, The Vivienne and Colin Grafton, John Fashanu and Alexandra Schauman and Carley Stenson and Mark Hanretty in a bid to avoid the dreaded skate-off.
Angry fans took to Twitter minutes into the new series - and they all had the same complaint.
"Oh @dancingonice... please stop with so much cheering and whooping from the audience. It really spoils it. Way too much audience noise," one wrote, as a second added: "Oh yay the irritating audience has already begun and we're only 2 minutes in #dancingonice."
A third fumed on Twitter as they shared: " #dancingonice I wish they would just keep the camera still for a while, it's so difficult to see who is who and what they are doing, and please, turn down the volume on the audience."
It comes after host Phil said it was the hardest show on television.
"There is no question that it’s the hardest one on TV. All of these other shows of a similar ilk are fantastic but this is the one that is dangerous - this is the one that can hurt them. There are blades on the bottom of their boots, they’re sharp!" he said.
"We don’t ever want an injury but we’ve had all manner of things that have happened to the celebs."
Of the danger the show can bring, he added: "It’s probably the most unpredictable of these types of shows. The mere fact that they’re doing this means they’re driven in some way or competitive in some way or have something to prove to themselves or somebody else, or they get to a point in their life and want to do something really exciting!"
