Dancing On Ice’s Ashley Banjo On Gemma Collins’ ‘Scary’ Fall: ‘I Didn’t Think She Was Getting Up’

He also passed comment on fellow judge Jason Gardiner, and while he refused to say he felt his fellow judge crossed a line with his harsh critiques, Ashley was quick to insist he wouldn’t be following in his footsteps any time soon.

“Would I say [the things Jason says]? Maybe not,” he explained, before adding: “But I’m not Jason.

“I feel like he never pulls it out of thin air. The thing about Jason is if he thinks it, he’s got his way of saying it.

“He’s been a part of Dancing On Ice for over a decade, so people know exactly what Jason’s like, they know the kind of critique he gives, so I don’t think the celebrities come into it blind. They can never say they didn’t sign up for it. But at the same time, he can be really brutally honest.

“If I was a contestant in the show, I would just find the truth, the useful critique in his comments, try to strip away some of the delivery and think ‘okay, that’s what I need to work on’. It’s about taking it with a pinch of salt.”
