Holmes hits back at Dancing on Ice judge

'Dancing on Ice' star Kelly Holmes has slated one of the show's judges, Jason Gardiner, over comments he made about her during last weekend's live show.

After Holmes skated with her professional dance partner, Gardiner compared her to a drag queen, saying that her muscular body made her look like a man.

Later Holmes said: "Jason's vile for saying something personal about me, my figure got me two gold medals and I'm not going to change it for an ice skating show."

"I am not on the show to be slagged off and I'm not happy about it," Holmes said. "If you want to criticise my skating, that's fine, but don't criticise me as a person, that's not nice."
