Michaela Strachan suffers ITV Dancing on Ice blow despite being favourite to win competition
The Winterwatch star has been a fan favourite since the beginning of the show
Michaela Strachan could have her chances at winning the competition blown and say goodbye to her skates this weekend as worrying new data has emerged ahead of tonight's instalment.
Last weekend, Strachan and her partner Mark Hanretty skated to Bananaramaâs Venus and landed themselves second from the bottom of the leaderboard.
After only scoring 34 out of a possible 40, fans of the show were left gobsmacked and claimed the scores had been fixed for her to leave.
The scoring of the starâs performances has repeatedly decreased despite the fact they think the performance should have received top marks.
Lashing out at the programme, one enraged viewer slammed the decision on X as they said: "SICK of them undermarking Michaela.
"She's one of the best skaters they've had in years and ever since they told her to stop skating on her own as much the marks have stayed the same."

Another added: "Michaela could have red, white and blue smoke trails coming out of her tutu like a red arrow and still not get a 10 from the judges."
A third then penned: "I said this last week, but I feel the judges have really thrown Michaela.
"They criticised her for her solo skating/confidence and now she's playing safe, which she's being criticised for."
Before a fourth asked: "Why do I get the feeling that the judges want Dan and Vanessa to win over Michaela and Mark?â
Michaela has been a firm favourite since the beginning

It seems that despite the concern about her scores, bookmakers have priced Strachan to be leaving the series this weekend.
Support for her has remained strong, and while she still leads with odds of 13/8 (38.1 per cent probability), there has been a surge of backing for Dan Edgar, who now sits close behind at 9/4 (30.8 per cent probability).
This is a significant drop for Strachan, who just last week sat with odds of 6/5 and 45% probability to win.
Analysing the latest odds, Betfredâs Kayley Cornelius said: âSince the first week of the competition, Countryfile star Michaela Strachan has been the unwavering favourite to win among us bookmakers.
âWhile she remains the frontrunner with odds of 13/8, she may find it increasingly difficult to hold on to that title as TOWIEâs Dan Edgar continues to bridge the gap.

âNow sitting just behind Michaela at 9/4, a strong performance this weekend could see him narrow the margin even furtherâor even overtake her entirely.â
As Edgar closes the gap on Strachan, Sam Aston currently sits at 7/2 to win this competition, with Mollie Pearce priced at 5/1 and Anton Ferdinand at 50/1.

Dan Caine may not have been on Washington's radar before Friday night. Caine, then the deputy commander of a special operations task force fighting Islamic State, told the president that the militant group could be destroyed in just a week, Trump recalled during a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2019. Since then, he has retold the story about how he met "Razin" Caine multiple times - and the praise has only grown more effusive.

Nvidia's profit report next week could steer the U.S. stock market's course, as investors seek confirmation that the AI-driven investment trend, which has powered equities for two years, is intact after last month's panic-selling triggered by the Chinese startup DeepSeek. Seen as a bellwether of the burgeoning AI industry, Nvidia is the world's second most valuable company, with a 6.3% weight on the S&P 500, according to LSEG. A recent stumble, however, came after the Chinese startup DeepSeek unveiled a lower-cost AI model that was seen as a threat to the dominance of U.S. rivals, driving Nvidia down roughly 17% on January 27, equivalent to $593 billion - a record one-day market value loss.
