DANCING On Ice is known for providing audiences with a song and dance, but viewers were left in shock tonight when the Magic Mike troupe made an appearance on stage.
The incident took place while the ice skating couples took a break from performing routines for the panel of judges.
Adults at home watching the ITV show with their families were taken aback when a group of six men began to strip off on stage.
Once shirtless, the dancers gave the audience a raunchy performance which included hip thrusts and gyrations.
Appalled viewers took to social media to protest, with one person writing: “Think of the children. Their poor eyes.”
Another added: “Not sure the kids were impressed with half naked men gyrating.”
A third complained: “What on Earth has happened to Sunday evening TV? Where’s Songs of Praise?”
A fourth questioned: “Magic Mike is now wholesome family viewing? What the f**k happened there?”
However, some people watching at home saw the funny side of the situation.
One mum shared: “Sat watching Dancing on Ice with the kids and The Magic Mike cast appear. Not really family appropriate!! I had to do pretend outrage! I’ll rewind it later.”
Another agreed: “Well that bit of Magic Mike Live has made my Sunday night better! Looks up tickets to the show.”
