Was anyone in the bottom two last night?
Even though there wasn’t a skate off, two pairs of skaters found themselves in the firing line.
Emmerdale’s Joe Warren-Plant and rapper Lady Leshurr landed in the bottom two after the tallying the public vote.
But as Lady L had the least votes, she will now compete alongside pro partner Brendyn Hatifield to save her place in the ITV figure skating show in next week’s skate-off.
She will go up against the celeb who comes last in the viewer vote in episode two.
Who got the Golden Ticket last night?
The first episode saw the judges give the celebs out of 10.
But in a new addition to the show, the judges were able to award one couple a the special Golden Ticket which gives them passage straight through to the next round.
They decided to give this to comedian Rufus Hound and his professional partner Robin Johnstone, which sees them go straight into musicals week (episode three, January 31, 2021).
