PATSY Palmer sparked a row between Dancing on Ice fans after she got good scores - despite forgetting her steps.
The EastEnders legend, 50, was awarded 21 points for her first performance on the ice.
But viewers complained as they felt Patsy didn't deserve scores similar to "stronger skater" Joey Essex.
One said: "Torvill and Dean giving Patsy a 5.5 and Joey a 6.5 when he was streaks ahead of her and she forgot the bloody steps."
Another added: "Patsy did okay for the first skate but it wasn't perfect you can see she's struggling when skating solo she doesn't want to let go of Matt."

Someone else claimed: "If Craig Revell Horwood was a judge, Patsy would have scored 2 points #DancingOnIce."
A viewer said: "Patsy looked like a rabbit in the headlights. Must be so nerve wrecking #DancingOnIce."
Someone added: "I love Patsy but I felt she was pushed around the ice and was unsteady on her skates and seemed to forget some of the moves, shame."
While many of the judges praised Patsy, judge Christopher Dean pointed out her errors.
"I thought you had great spirit out there, I enjoyed watching you," he said.
"I did see there was a lapse moment you forgot some of the steps, but [your dance partner] Matt was right there and you keyed right back into it."
