"Pammy is the biggest star we have had in years and we hoped she would pull in millions of viewers for weeks and weeks, said a source. "Her skating partner Matt Evers flew to America for weeks of training.
"We had to book first class flights for her and source plush accommodation for months too in case she got to the final stages.

Jason Gardiner has revealed that he and his fellow judges received a "barrage of abusive comments" following their decision to eliminate Anderson.
