Dancing on Ice viewers disgusted after Stephen Mulhern makes ‘inappropriate joke’

Some people were not happy with the presenter

The 47-year-old fronted Sunday night's episode of the ITV show with co-host Holly Willoughby.

The presenting duo introduced the remaining contestants ahead of their latest performances and there were some jokes throughout.

As they introduced reality TV star Chris Taylor and skating partner Robin Johnstone for their next routine, Willoughby referenced their performance being set to JVKE's Golden Hour.

She said: "Right, it's time for our next couple who are treating us to a golden hour."

Mulhern teased that he had misheard her comment in an apparent reference to the crude act of a 'golden shower'.

He said: "A what?" Willoughby replied: "A golden hour. It's the name of a song."

Mulhern said: "Oh phew! It's Chris and Robin."

Laughter could be heard in the studio but viewers at home failed to see the funny side.

Many referenced the current situation with Gino D'Acampo who is currently facing accusations of 'distressing' and 'sexually inappropriate' behaviour, accusations he strongly denies.

One viewer said: "With @ITV being in the midst of the Gino scandal, you'd think they'd be a bit more careful about golden shower jokes on a family show."

A second said: "I said the same thing. Mulhern had better take care..."

While another comment read: "Wasn't prepared for a golden shower joke at 6.34pm on a Sunday…"
