He may be known as Mr Nasty of the Ice Skating world, but his constant bitching at this year’s contestants on Dancing On Ice have viewers switching off.
Jason Gardiner might be facing a backlash after his constant jibes at this year’s Dancing On Ice contestants. Viewers have been threatening to switch off after the “Mr Nasty” of ice skating could only raise criticism of the show’s newly trained hopefuls, which this year includes Saara Aalto and Brian McFadden.
Fans of the show noticed that while Torvill and Dean could score the celebs quite highly, it was rare for Jason to go above a 4.5 out of ten, despite him not being a professional ice skater.
On tonight’s show, viewers and fans ranted how “slimy” and “bitchy” Jason was coming off.

Jason Gardiner is such a bitch ??♂️
There is nothing wrong with constructive criticism but there is a way of delivering it ? I respect him as a judge but there is no need to be that harsh and nasty ?He was uncomfortable to watch, not the performances ??#DancingOnIce

Many viewers also spoke about their dislike of the Aussie-born choreographer, singer and theatre producer.
I really dislike Jason. #DancingOnIce

Some even called on the producers of the show to take action against him. With one calling his interactions with the cast as “obnoxious rudeness” and finished by saying that it was not acceptable ”
When are the producers going to get rid of Jason Gardener. His obnoxious rudeness is not acceptable. Chris #DancingOnIce

Some viewers have even taken to pausing the live show so they can “skip through” Jason’s critique of the cast.
I’m a little bit behind on @dancingonice #DancingOnIce I have had to record and watch so I can skip through the parts when Jason is speaking been rude to the skaters ! No need for it and I feel uncomfortable watching him say horrible stuff!! No need for it
