Phillip Schofield has revealed that he was inundated with complaints about last night's Dancing On Ice.

Speaking on This Morning, the presenter confessed that he ended up turning his phone off because he had so many "outraged" people contacting him about DJ Dave Vitty's exit.

Vitty was voted off the ITV1 reality show yesterday evening after ending up in the skate-off with Kerry Katona. Despite scoring 0.5 more than Katona in their initial routines, judges Jason Gardiner and Emma Bunton opted to save the mother-of-four.

Writing on Twitter last night, Schofield said: "Hmm, very interesting twitter feed tonight. Lots of very valid comments, but can I point out.. I'm not a judge! No point shouting at me!"

He added later: "Right, that's it. Too many angry tweets pointed at the wrong person. Night night. Tweet ya tomorrow."

Chatting with Vitty today, he said: "I had to turn my phone off last night for all the people who were outraged that were getting in touch with me!"

The Radio 1 star jokingly apologised for his fans ambushing Schofield, claiming that his support on the programme had been "amazing".

"We got halfway through the show," he said. "All I wanted to do was to not go out in the first week. I've had a brilliant time."
