Suzanne Shaw thinks \'Dancing on Ice\' misses Jason Gardiner\'s witty one-liners.
The 38-year-old star - who won \'Dancing on Ice\' in 2008 - has hailed the outspoken judge, saying he brought some much-needed controversy to the show before he was replaced by John Barrowman.
Suzanne - who previously starred in the band Hear\'Say - told Daily Star Online: "I love Jason, personally. I thought he was a fantastic addition, he was a really great part to \'Dancing on Ice\'.
"I think he put his stamp on that character and on that part."
Despite this, Suzanne is a big fan of John, hailing the new judge as "loveable and fun".
She said: "I don\'t think he\'s got it in him to be controversial and nasty to anybody, he\'s so loveable and fun. In terms of a mixture on that judging panel, you don\'t have that Craig Revel Horwood or Jason Gardiner or Simon Cowell in there."
Suzanne also feels that John, 52 - who previously appeared in the sci-fi series \'Torchwood\' - is perfectly suited to starring on the ITV show.
The blonde beauty explained: "John ticks all the boxes in that he\'s done it before, he\'s a performer, he\'s done it for years, he\'s good at acting singing and dancing.
"Again, times have moved on and there isn\'t a reason to be nasty any more you just have to be constructive with your judging. Maybe this is the new way it should be!"
