Dancing On Ice chaos as show suffers major technical blunder caused by mistake
Judge Christopher Dean made a major error on Dancing on Ice, admitted the blunder was going to cause a ‘mess’ for other people on the ITV show
Dancing on Ice judge Christopher Dean caused some complications on the show today in a huge blunder.
The ITV star is currently on the judging panel alongside his skating partner Jayne Torvill, former Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse, and Diversity dancer Ashley Banjo. Despite having judged the show for years, however, Dean, 66, made an unmissable gaffe.
While judging, Dean accidentally put the wrong number on his board, incorrectly showing 8.5. He quickly revealed that he actually wanted to vote a full point higher, and that there’d have to be a bit of work behind the scenes to fix the mistake. “This is going to mess them up upstairs because I put 8.5 but I meant 9.5,” he said as he admitted his error.
Torvill and Dean have been national heroes since winning gold together at the 1984 Winter Olympics, and gutted fans after they officially announced their retirement from performing. Despite deciding to call it a day on the physical side, however, they’ve made it clear they’re not leaving the skating world or the beloved show.

Referencing his age and the duration of their careers, Christopher shared: “We’ve been doing it a long time and people our age shouldn’t be doing it now, so we’re just happy that we can still do it.”
In a heartfelt interview, he revealed to The Sun: “This will be our last live skate on Dancing on Ice because we’re doing our final tour this year. So once we’ve finished our last skate on the tour, we won’t be performing again.”
Despite hanging up their skates, Jayne, 67, and Christopher will continue to be a part of Dancing on Ice as judges. They reassured fans that they’ll still play an active role in the show, mentoring and supporting the upcoming generation of ice dancers.
The pair revealed their decision to stop performing in an exclusive interview with the Mirror last year, 40 years on from their rise to stardom. Reflecting on the decision to draw things to a close, Chris said: “I think there comes a time when you know. We’re not spring chickens any more, but we’re still able to do it to a certain degree we feel good about it, but that will go.”
“This is the right time for us to be able to do that and go and skate and do some of the old routines, be very nostalgic, but then do some new fun, upbeat [dances] with friends of ours from the skating world and from Dancing On Ice. We’ll have a sense of pride as well, I think, of what we’ve done. I think we’ll get reflective and look at it not in a sad way but in a happy way.”
