Yet fans think the skier and his professional partner Vicky Ogden, were short-changed, with ex Love Island star Amber Davies, 27, narrowly swerving eviction.
This is because, in a huge show twist, judges appeared to make their decisions on the entirety of the routines throughout the night rather than just the Save Me Skate.
One fan took to X to rant: "I don't usually comment, write about things like this as the judges are professionals.

"Even Johnny Weir voted for who he wanted to be in the final, didn't judge based on the save me skate.
"Rules broken not going to watch anymore."
Others had a similar view, with one writing: "I'm fuming at that decision on #DancingOnIce.

"I felt Eddie had the better save me skate tonight."
Eddie, who opened Sunday's show, was a latecomer to the competition, replacing Gogglebox star Stephen Lustig-Webb who had to withdraw due to injury.
In the skate off, Eddie and his partner Vicky performed a routine to Sir Elton John's Rocket Man, and Amber danced a dramatic performance to Little Mix's Power with partner Simon Proulx-Senecal.
Judge Oti Mabuse voted to keep Eddie while guest judge Johnny and Jayne Torvill voted for Amber.
As the vote was split, it came down to head judge Christopher Dean, who opted to keep Amber as well, sending Eddie packing.
The panel usually centre their decisions purely on the Save Me Skate yet when stand-in judge Johnny referred to Amber having a "better chance in the final" fans suspected this voting method had changed.
Meanwhile, Made In Chelsea hunk Miles Nazaire was at the centre of another fix row as fans claimed he had been "overmarked."
