Danny Young has been voted off ITV's reality show Dancing On Ice following a costly mistake with his prop in the skate off.

The former Coronation Street actor, 23, and his partner Frankie Poultney were left in the bottom two alongside Hollyoaks actor Kieron Richardson and his professional partner Brianne Delcourt after the votes of the judges and the public were combined.

Kieron gave a clean, polished second performance to Freddie Mercury's version of The Great Pretender confidently using his required element - a microphone stand.

Danny, however, stumbled with his bowler hat prop during the closing stages of his Charlie Chaplin inspired routine skated to McFly's It's All About You.

Coming off the ice, Danny said of his prop: "It let us down a little bit, but what will be will be, I've had an amazing time."

While judge Karen Barber voted to save him, the remaining four judges on the panel - Robin Cousins, Emma Bunton, Jason Gardiner and Nicky Slater - opted to keep Kieron in the contest.

After learning he was the 10th celebrity to leave, Danny took his defeat on the chin, thanking everyone and adding: "Honestly Phillip (Schofield) I've had the most amazing time."

Earlier in the show EastEnders actress Danniella Westbrook and her partner Matthew Gonzalez scored the highest mark of the night with 27.5.

The pair wowed the judges and studio audience alike with their "raunchy" routine to Roxette's She's Got The Look in which Danniella played the role of a secretary using a swivel chair.
