Through his commentary you sometimes get a sense that Sam Matterface knows what we're all thinking. That 'Dancing on Ice' is, and has been for a very long time, a bit rubbish.
He's getting to the 'Terry Wogan in his latter years of Eurovision' stage, where he's hiding it, but getting excited about z list contestants doing the head banger (been there, seen that) is wearing a bit thin.
Sam, we all share your pain. We've been thinking the same for years.
Surely someone at ITV (or indeed ITVx) could find a format that would suit Holly and Phil better than this. They're so good on 'This Morning', and yet seem so strait jacketed here.
Just axe it ITV. Please. We won't blame you.
