Singer Ian "H" Watkins is the latest celebrity to leave Dancing On Ice.

"H", who lost out to magician Ben Hanlin in the skate-off, described his time in the competition as "brutal but brilliant".

And having made history by being part of the show's first same-sex couple, he's got his sights set getting another popular TV talent show to do the same.

After being eliminated on Sunday, "H" said: "Thank you to ITV for championing visibility and acceptance and diversity."

He then went on to set Strictly Come Dancing the challenge of also featuring a same-sex couple in its competition.

He added: "I'd like to say as well, Strictly, it's your turn next."

His professional skating partner, Matt Evers, said being in the competition together had been "absolutely incredible".

"We may have been voted out tonight, but we won," he said.

"For a lot of people around the world and in this country, we won."

The challenge to Strictly had a mixed reaction from fans online though.

While some thought it was a positive idea and praised the singer, others didn't agree with some arguing that Strictly had already done it.

Before "H" and Matt skated together, there had been a lot of talk about whether same-sex couples would feature in a TV dance competition.

Strictly did feature a same-sex dance in its last series, but it was between two professional dancers and didn't include a celebrity contestant.

At the time, the people who make Strictly, said they were "completely open" to having same-sex pairings between celebrities and professional dancers in the future.
