Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner may find himself in trouble with ITV bosses, after viewers complained about his treatment of Sharron Davies on last night’s show.

The acid-tongued fashion expert said that the former Olympic swimmer looked like “faecal matter” during her performance, for which she wore a brown sparkly costume.

He told her: “You look like faecal matter that won’t flush, that goes around and around but doesn’t go anywhere.”

Vivienne Pattinson of TV campaign group Mediawatch slammed Gardiner for the “unnecessary” comments, telling the Daily Mail: “It’s bullying. This is supposed to be an entertainment show.

“His comments were totally unnecessary and offensive and not what the viewer wants to see.”

On the Unreality TV forum, Trudy blasted Jason saying:

“Jason part of your comments were disgusting and totally unnecessary, someone needs to speak to him about his comments.”
