DANCING On Ice viewers have begged bosses to keep guest judge Johnny Weir ahead of Ashley Banjo’s return.
Over the past two weeks the American figure skater, 39, has given his verdict on the performances alongside Torvil and Dean and Oti Mabuse on the ITV show.
Diversity star Ashley, 35, will be back on our screens next week.
However fans of the ITV show have loved having Johnny as part of the panel and would like to make him a permanent fixture.
Many have take to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “I like Ashley Banjo, but Johnny needs to be permanent.”
Another said: “Can we pleeeease keep Johnny Weir The show’s a million times better with him.”
“Please have Johnny back next year.. he’s the perfect bridge with performance+ ice knowledge and has been super refreshing,” a third asked.
A fourth added: “Johnny should replace Ashley.”
Ashley joined Dancing On Ice in 2018 for its 10th series.
This year he had to miss two episodes because of commitments with his dance squad Diversity.
The group, who won Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, are currently on tour.
This means that Ashley will be away until the semi-finals, which take place next week.
Johnny is a very experienced figure skater.
The star won bronze at the 2008 World Figure Skating Championships, as well as a number of other impressive medals.
He is also a three-time US national champion.
