Remembering a talented competitor
The Vivienne had competed on Dancing on Ice in 2023, making it to the final and finishing in third place. Hosts Holly and Stephen Mulhern took a moment to pay their respects to the former contestant before the new batch of celebrities hit the ice for the first time this season.

While some viewers appreciated the tribute, others felt it fell short of honoring The Vivienne's memory. Some took to social media to express their disappointment and hoped for a more substantial recognition of the late competitor during the show.
