Dancing on Ice viewers have theorised that the judges “have it in” for one contestant following consistently low scores on the skating competition. On Sunday, February 4, comedian Lou Sanders and partner Brendyn Hatfield skated to ‘What a Wonderful World’ by Eva Cassidy, and they scored 24.5 out of 40 points.

Lou and Brendyn received 6.0 points from judges Ashley Banjo, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean. Meanwhile, Oti Mabuse gave the pair 6.5 points.

In previous weeks Lou and Brendyn have scored 19.5 and 22.0 points from the judges and week by week fans have said they’re undermarked. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

Following the scoring one person wrote on social media platform X (formerly Twitter): “Come on. What does #LouSaunders and @BrendynHatfield have to do to get higher scores. Seriously?”

A second commented: “These judges have it in for Lou… when she does solo skating they give her crap marks and have knocked all her confidence… evil.” And a third wrote: “Lou was underscored.”

A fourth said: “Why the f*** are the judges constantly low marking Lou?!” And another echoed: “This week is Oti’s only contribution to the show really and her condescension on Lou is *really* showing. For everyone else it’s “do … and you’ll be even more amazing than you already are.”
