Connor took to Instagram to thank his fans

Connor and Kye's exits did not go down well with fans on Sunday, who rushed to Twitter to state the decision had been a "fix".

"Such a fix, it should be based on improvement and leaning on the ice and Connor should have went through," one wrote on Twitter, whilst another added: "Total fix...Connor should be in the final and not Kimberley. She's only in the final coz she's the judge's favourite!!"

A third remarked: "Honestly robbed that Connor didn't go through to the final on dancing on ice but we all know from the start the judges overscoring their favourites from day one that the final 3 isn't a shock."
