Ben Foden’s wife Jackie SLAMS Dancing On Ice as ‘pointless and unfair’ in rant after he’s booted off the show first

DANCING On Ice star Ben Foden’s wife has savaged the show after he became the first celebrity to get booted off.

Jackie slammed it as a popularity contest and said the worst skater managed to stay in the competition.

In a no-holds-barred post on Instagram the American called the process “unfair” and said it had left them feeling sad.

She wrote: “What’s the point of saying it’s a skate competition when it’s really just a popularity competition?

“Why divide the skaters into two weeks, groups of your choosing, and why not judge all their scores together after the two weeks?

“What’s the point of getting a bunch of people together and then not judging them together afterwards?”

Warming to her theme she added: “And what’s the point of having a judging panel when it’s all down to a public vote.

“That’s not a skate competition, it’s a popularity competition. What’s the point of anyone doing this really practicing and trying to learn if you’re just going to be judged on your popularity?

“It’s a bit unfair, and we’re a bit sad, the worst skater wasn’t the first to go, I don’t really see the point.”

She added: “Yes, it’s how the show makes money but maybe leave the public vote for the save me skate offs or something?

“Otherwise it’s just kind of pointless to even try.”

However Jackie, who was cheering Ben on in the audience last night, had kind words for his fellow skaters Regan Gascoigne – who he said “blew my socks off” and Ria Hebden.
