Dancing On Ice has rocked back onto telly screens with all the glitz and glam fans have come to expect.
Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield are back on presenting duties, with Christopher Dean, Jayne Torvill, John Barrowman and Diversity dancer Ashley Banjo on the judge's bench.
Some fans, though, have taken issue with the presence in the star-studded line-up of a certain pal of one of the judges.
Perri Kiely, Ashley's fellow Diversity member, took to the ice with flare and panache (and partner Vanessa Bauer, of course), and earned himself some solid feedback from the judges.
Viewers took to Twitter to question if it was fair that Perri was being judged by a close friend and dance partner.

"Isn't it a bit dodgy that ashley banjo is judging a diversity member on dancing on ice lmao…" one wrote, "Like surely thats a conflict if interest."
Another sombrely penned: "I'd like to contact Ofcom regarding dancing group Diversity's Ashley Banjo judging dancing group Diversity's Perri Kiely on Dancing On Ice."
Others reckoned that Perri already had the win in the bag.
"Not even worth watching Dancing On Ice," one grumbled, "Perri is winning it."
Another agreed: "I've not even seen anyone else but I'm still saying that Perri will win Dancing on ice."
It's not the first time a fan's raised these concerns, as one tweeted late last year, following the announcement Perri would be donning his skates: "So Perri from diversity is going on dancing on ice yet Ashley from diversity is a judge? How is that fair @dancingonice."
It was announced last year that this series would see the first same sex couple on the ice – US pro Matt Evers has been paired with Steps singer Ian "H" Watkins.
Included in the rest of the roster of famous faces is I'm A Celeb jungle king Joe Swash and Love Island fan favourite Maura Higgins.
