Dancing On Ice: Judges bicker after Stephanie's performance
The This Morning presenter came to blows with the judge when he snapped at his co-host Holly Willoughby following Stephanie Waring’s first performance.
Jason had just offered advice to the Hollyoaks actress when Holly kindly reminded him that it was the first week and he should be nice to the contestants.
“They’ve got to improve. That’s what I’m giving her information for,” the 46-year-old hit back.
Fellow judge Ashley Banjo intervened to defend Holly, agreeing: “But it is week one Jason.”

However it was Phillip who was most outraged as he barked: “Don’t you snap at my girl! Don’t you snap at my girl!”
Jason ignored him as he told Holly: “I know it’s week one!”
Phillip, 55, then proceeded to walk towards the judges’ desk where he slammed his hands down and warned: “Don’t you snap at her.”

Of course, the spat was all in jest as Phillip and Holly could be seen giggling over the incident when Stephanie and her skating partner Sylvain Longchambon left the rink.
It came after Candice Brown stunned viewers at home when she appeared to plant a kiss on her partner Matt Evers’ lips.
Meanwhile, Holly sparked a frenzy as she teased a glimpse of her cleavage by opting to go braless in her plunging blue frock.
Dancing On Ice continues Sunday on ITV at 6pm.
