Roxanne Pallett calls for 'Ice' sackings

Roxanne Pallett has claimed that Jason Gardiner and Ruthie Henshall should be dropped from Dancing On Ice.

The former Emmerdale actress has advised the show's producers to recruit replacements for the two judges, branding them a "waste of space".

Speaking to the Daily Star, Pallett explained: "You might as well have two blow-up dolls on their chairs.

"Jason says I am not sincere, arrogant and have no charisma. Has he looked in the mirror? Pot, kettle, black. I think his comments are tiresome. It's like he reads children's books to come up with insults."

The 26-year-old suggested that music mogul Simon Cowell and talkshow host Jeremy Kyle would be perfect for the ITV1 skating show's judging panel.

She added: "Jason is like a poor man's Simon Cowell. He's missing one thing from being Simon - class. I don't really care about them but I think it's just time for a change."

Pallett was eliminated from the programme on Sunday night after finding herself in the bottom two alongside Zoe Salmon.
