DANCING on Ice fans have said Connor Ball should have been given medical treatment BEFORE the judges’ comments.
They were stunned as The Vamps singer, 25, was left with blood dripping onto his shirt after stitches on his chin burst open live on air.
Fans flocked to Twitter in disbelief when the judges continued to talk to Connor while the musician was bleeding.
One Tweeted: “God Connor standing there bleeding made me feel so terrible for him. We didn’t need to have his post scoring interview, let him go get his stitches.”
A second said: “They couldn’t have hurried up with their comments??? Why did they make Connor stand there that long clearly in pain and bleeding everywhere while they rambled on!!”
A third added: “Connor on stage bleeding to death and the judges said “yeah, anyway, you were alright.”
A fourth said: “Connor was bleeding and had a tissue over his face, but they still made him stand there to hear his feedback.”
A fifth echoed: “Am I the only one that thinks Connor should have been allowed to get treatment instead of letting him bleed. Fantastic dance from Connor & @AlexandraLukasz . Know the judges comments are important but getting the bleeding stopped also important.”
The Vamps singer had been patched up before his primetime TV dance but host Stephen Mulhern explained to viewers disaster had struck.
He said: “Obviously Dancing on Ice is completely live. Connor before the show was meant to open the entire show but had an accident backstage.
“He had stitches before the show so he couldn’t go on first and they’ve now opened up.”
Addressing the singer he said: “Mate – first of all, I don’t know how you still performed. What happened backstage?”
Connor, 25, was then shown with a tissue clamped to his face to stop the blood from gushing out.
He explained: “I was a bit stressed about the spin. I kept trying to perfect the spin. I just slipped down and smacked my face.”
