[Kerry]

Jason Gardiner has reportedly threatened to boycott tomorrow's Dancing On Ice final.

The judge is said to be furious that head coach Karen Barber did an interview dismissing his claims that she was reprimanded after talking about their live TV row in the media.

Gardiner caused controversy last month after quipping to Barber: "If your opinion still mattered Karen, you would still be on the judging panel."

According to The Sun, Barber told a magazine: "Jason saying I was given a warning was totally untrue. I did nothing wrong, so that wasn't the case at all. But I wouldn't hesitate to do it again if Jason crossed the line."

A source said: "Producers are desperately trying to calm things down but the situation is not good. Jason was furious and has had enough of the rows with Karen and wants an apology."

Gardiner recently admitted that the pair still don't talk following their on-air row.

The Dancing On Ice final airs tomorrow at 7.40pm on ITV1.
