Jason Gardiner’s barbed comments have gotten so bad on ITV’s Dancing On Ice that the producers told him off last week for going over the top. Jason however defends his actions to The Mirror saying:

“I know what I say stings like a slap in the face at first, but it’s what I think and is meant to help the celebrities improve.

“Producers are forever accusing me of going too far – they told me off last week. But it’s become too PC. And look, sitting there week after week by the ice, freezing and watching s**t is no picnic.

“I’m not going to say how wonderful everyone’s doing, when they’re clearly not. I wish we could fast-forward to week five or six so we can get rid of all the tragedies.”
