One viewer joked: “You know the series #DancingOnIce need? More ads. “
Another tweeted: “Hopefully #DancingOnIce on the BBC. The ice dance between all these commercials makes me nervous. “
Another added: “Skating has ruined my appreciation of all commercials.”
Others even turned it off, with some commenting that the cheers were too loud to be heard: “Turn it off, too many commercials and too much noise!”
One viewer shared the tip: “It’s not worth watching #DancingOnIce live. If you fast-forward through hundreds of commercials and chat after the dance, you can watch it in 20 minutes. “
Others agree: “40 minutes, only 3 players #DancingOnIce @dancingonice Now I know why I often record shows and fast-forward them. Too many ads. “
On Sunday night, John Fashanu and his skating partner Alexandra Schauman became the first couple to be voted out of this year’s competition after a skating competition with Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Brendyn Hatfield.
Meanwhile, Carley Stenson and Mark Hanretty rocketed to the top of the series leaderboard with 32 points in their debut performance.
Dancing on Ice continues on Sunday on ITV1.
