Jason Gardiner is the Mr Nasty in the rink, having dished out numerous controversial comments during his time with "Dancing On Ice". The show is basically Strictly meets ice skating, but has been a strong part of ITV's early year line-up since 2006. Producers were looking to fill the judging slot that is taken by Craig Revel Horwood on Strictly - a mean but overall entertaining personality. Jason gives the harsh criticism and often scores celebrities far below his fellow panelists, which has made him shine on the show. However, some of his comments have been construed as properly offensive to contestants, that has made him a talent show judge that many love to hate. One infamous moment was when Jason described contestant Sharron Davies as 'like faecal matter that won't flush'. He received a lot of negative feedback but continued to pursue his on screen persona. He undeniably crosses the line in the ice and not everyone takes it well. Remember when Denise Welch's hubby ran onto set to give Jason a piece of mind live on air? Classic. But it isn't just the contestants that Jason take on, it is his fellow judges too. His feud with Karen Barber, on again off again judge and sometime head coach, is well documented. It's just part of the reason that he has made it this far up the list. Just check out the shade he throws her in a clip below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Byk0jHxwf8
