Insiders say that Sam Attwater’s vote fell by around 50% last week, after his fake relationship with Brianne Delcourt was revealed.

The Dancing On Ice duo had claimed to be dating up until last Friday but a week ago pictures were released of Sam kissing another skater and many suspect the whole romance was a ruse.

Show insiders told The Daily Star that after Sam and Brianne performed last Sunday, their vote slumped to just 8%, having previously been almost double that figure.

The source claims that in contrast, Iraq war hero Johnson Beharry has managed to constantly increase his percentage of the votes, winning all but one of the shows so far.

Last night a senior DOI insider said: “Sam started strongly but his support took a massive hit around the time of this ‘fauxmance’.”
