Dancing On Ice’s Brendan Cole is ‘very happy’ that tonight’s finale has been canceled following ‘cheating’ claims

DANCING On Ice’s Brendan Cole admitted he was “very glad” that tonight’s finale was canceled after being dogged by “fix” rumours.

In last week’s semifinals, Strictly Pro Brendan secured his place in the grand finals alongside Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt and dancer Regan Gascoigne.

It was supposed to take place tonight on March 20th but was pushed back to March 27th due to a schedule change.

Brendan, 45, said on Instagram tonight: “Just a week away….

“Very happy for the extra week. I don’t want this to end.”

His partner Vanessa Bauer replied: “Can we have more weeks 🥺😂💫💫”

It comes as fans claimed the ballroom dancer was given an edge on the ITV series by being the first celebrity to hit the ice each week.

A theory circulated on Twitter claiming that Brendan received a secret boost from the producers by being the first to skate.

Meanwhile, others said the show was a solution because Brendan was a professional dancer.

One viewer raged: “He was either first or last every week.

“He’s a pro competing against non-dancers. Fraud in my book was judged too unfair.”

Connor Ball, 26, was voted out by the judges in the semifinals when Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean all agreed to save Pussycat Doll Kimberly.

Olympic BMX racer Kye Whyte, 22, also left the competition in a brutal double dump.

Kimberly, 40, and former Strictly Come Dancing pro Brendan compete for the grand prize alongside finalist Regan, who also trained as a dancer.
