"Dancing on Ice judge Jason Gardiner has hit out at &amp;quot;bulls**t&amp;quot; rumours surrounding the romantic life of finalist Matt Lapinskas. Speaking to Digital Spy, Gardiner claimed that reports Lapinskas split with his former EastEnders co-star Shona McGarty for his DOI partner Brianne Delcourt are &amp;quot;just hype&amp;quot; with &amp;quot;really... no basis&amp;quot;.  Gardiner similarly stressed that the belief Samia Ghadie stole Sylvain Longchambon from Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe is &amp;quot;incorrect&amp;quot;, adding that he thinks the couple chose to deny their relationship until recently to avoid &amp;quot;intrusion&amp;quot;. Gardiner also admitted that he doesn&amp;#039;t think Luke Campbell deserves to join Lapinskas and Beth Tweddle in the Dancing on Ice final, noting that he is only there because of &amp;quot;a strange twist of fate&amp;quot;, namely Gareth Thomas&amp;#039;s exit due to illness.  He also played down suggestions that Dancing on Ice is in danger of getting axed, calling this series &amp;quot;one of the most successful&amp;quot; yet and asking: &amp;quot;What else would they replace it with?&amp;quot; The Dancing on Ice final airs Sunday (March 10) at 7pm on ITV.
