All this does is flag it more.Surely the point of having the Live DOG on a programme like Dancing On Ice is to highlight that literally anything could happen and to heighten the jeopardy.
What would be better is something similar to what the US do (or did on American Idol and a few others at least) and just have a brief "LIVE" graphic on the return from each break. There are plenty of them after all.
It’s one of the many elements that adds to the theatre of the show, along with glitzy titles, flashy lighting and dramatic music. Yes, it’s a bit crap if the DOG is positioned badly, but I don’t see why it’s existence would be an issue for anyone.
