Former Dancing On Ice contestant Bobby Davro has said that ITV would be “mad” to get rid of Jason Gardiner and revealed that he is much nicer man in real life, than he is on the show.

Speaking about Jason comparing Sharron Davies to ‘faecal matter’ Bobby told The Daily Star:

“I was there when Jason made those comments and I must admit that even I thought they were a bit harsh.”

“But that’s his role in the whole production that is Dancing On Ice.

“If you treat it as one big panto then Karen [Barber] would be the fairy godmother, Emma [Bunton] the princess and then you’ve got handsome princes Gary Lucy and Kieron Richardson in the contest. Jason would be the Wicked Queen or villain of the piece.

“Every good panto needs a baddie and he’s it. Off camera, he’s actually really nice. I have no reason to stick up for him but they’d be mad to get rid of him.”
