Dancing On Ice 2022: Brendan Cole is awarded the first TEN of the series from Arlene Phillips

Bez was the fifth celebrity to be eliminated from Dancing On Ice on Sunday night.

The Happy Mondays rock star, 57, and his partner Angela Egan lost out to Sally Dynevor and Matt Evers in the dreaded skate-off, with their Musicals Week performance not doing enough to impress the judging panel, comprising of Oti Mabuse, Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean, Ashley Banjo and guest judge for Musicals Week Dame Arlene Phillips. 

An upbeat Bez said on his exit: ‘I’ve loved every moment!’ 

Elsewhere, Brendan Cole snatched the first ten after forming the show’s second same-sex partnership with Brendyn Hatfield. 

Dancing On Ice 2022: Bez was the fifth celebrity to hang up his skates on Sunday night after the judges unanimously decided to save Sally Dynevor

Brendan Cole snatched the first ten on Dancing On Ice on Sunday night, after forming the show’s second same-sex partnership with Brendyn Hatfield.

The New Zealand ballroom dancer, 45, picked male skater Brendyn, 36, to step in and partner with him for Musicals Week after his professional partner Vanessa Bauer tested positive for Covid.

The duo bagged themselves a strong score of 47 out of a possible 50 for their skate to Beggin’ by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, with Arlene Phillips – a guest judge for Week Six – awarding them the sought-after perfect score. 

The choreographer’s decision was well-received by fans on Twitter, who called the routine ‘sensational,’ ‘fabulous and ‘so slick.’ 

It was the second time the show saw an all-male pairing after Steps’ Ian ‘H’ Watkins and skater Matt Evers made history with their partnership in the 2020 series.

Brendyn was previously partnered with Rachel Stevens – but she was eliminated from the competition in week three.
