i wanted nadia through........i reckon she would've got better.........steven should've gone.he was woeful.......i thought kerry did well........wasn't very keen on angela or johnson

Hope so darlo

night everybody

'Til next week folks.

Of course all the celebrites would love to learn the Bolero, I would love to too but that's never going to happen. I don't see the harm in it being mentioned, if anything it shows more competitiveness to get to that final!

So did I ........then again Daniel always makes his partners look brilliant IMO.

I missed most of it earlier cos I zonked out so watching again now. I did see that Laura girl though and thought she was good, but she has that annoying kids tv presenter over enthusiastic disposition that makes me want to slap her. (But only a little bit. For now)

Didnt like the Corrie Guy,or Johnson.
Gllad Rippon went she is dull,Liked the presenter girl and I am glad she got through.
Rob(Vanilla) WAS FABULOUS.

I'm looking forward to seeing V Ice. Was told he was fab

I really enjoyed last night's episode.  I liked so many of them. I fell a little in love with Vanilla Ice he made me laugh that he actually sang the song while he skated. Shame we lost Nadia.

Was sorry to see Nadia go, she was fun and didnt take herself too seriously. I have a feeling that Laura is going to annoy me..........

Who is Johnson and why is he there? He was terrible but a potentially brilliant skater like Laura could have went out.

He is a soldier who was awarded the Victoria Cross. He himself received life threatening injuries which leave him in constant pain. So for him to even be able to stand upright on skates is a minor miracle.
 

Actions in Iraq

On 1 May 2004, Beharry was driving a Warrior Tracked Armoured Vehicle that had been called to the assistance of a foot patrol caught in a series of ambushes. The Warrior was hit by multiple rocket propelled grenades, causing damage and resulting in the loss of radio communications. The platoon commander, the vehicle’s gunner and a number of other soldiers in the vehicle were injured. Due to damage to his periscope optics, Pte. Beharry was forced to open his hatch to steer his vehicle, exposing his face and head to withering small arms fire. Beharry drove the crippled Warrior through the ambush, taking his own crew and leading five other Warriors to safety. He then extracted his wounded comrades from the vehicle, all the time exposed to further enemy fire. He was cited on this occasion for "valour of the highest order".

While back on duty on 11 June 2004, Beharry was again driving the lead Warrior vehicle of his platoon through Al Amarah when his vehicle was ambushed. A rocket propelled grenade hit the vehicle six inches from Beharry's head and he received serious shrapnel injuries to his face and brain. Other rockets hit the vehicle incapacitating his commander and injuring several of the crew. Despite his life threatening injuries, Beharry retained control of his vehicle and drove it out of the ambush area before losing consciousness. He required brain surgery for his head injuries, and he was still recovering when he was awarded the Victoria cross in March 2005. He suggested on at least one occasion that he would return to military service if physically able.

I have a very difficult time watching DAncing on Ice this series with Emma Bunton on the panel.  Last year, it wasn't so obvious that she was there with 5 judges.  Now they are down to 3, I wonder what expertise does she have?

She was in Strictly Come Dancing and was voted out in the Quarter Finals (I think - which gives her as much expertise as Ann Widdecom).  Can she even ice skate?  It's beyond a joke having her there.

Karen seems a pointless addition to the studio now as well. I know she is head coach now, but if they are going to turn to her and ask for her opinions, then she may as well be given Buntons seat.

Karen was apparently having difficulties with the skate offs, she said she found it very hard choosing, this way she can give her opinions without having to choose who is to go.   Next weeks skaters have the luxury of another weeks practice, not fair really but i suppose its the luck of the draw. I suppose its all down to money, with more phone revenue. I wouldve liked it, with everyone starting on an equal footing, so to speak!

I hate the way the show is all about Kerry Katona. All the papers are about her, all the interviews are about her. This Morning is championing her. If she had been voted out at least we would have heard more about the other competitors.

I hope that changes longcat, it does at the mo seem all about Kerry

I said this before the show , KK needs to go or the show will be about her "Journey".

Jason Gardiner has revealed that he is glad Angela Rippon was voted off Dancing On Ice at the weekend.

The veteran television journalist was eliminated from the ITV competition along with ex-EastEnders actress Nadia Sawalha. Writing in his column in The Sun, the judge claimed that the 66-year-old would not listen to criticism.

"It's good she's gone," he wrote. "She's so prim and proper and perfect in every way it leaves you cold and she won't listen to criticism."

He added: "Angela only hears what she wants to hear. Good riddance to old rubbish."

Rippon has hit back at Gardiner's critique of her performance by calling on him to show the audience his ice-skating ability.

What a cheek Jason has, it wasnt long ago he said if Kerry Katona comes on he will walk! Or was that another PR job?

I cannot abide Jason Gardiner, he is a nasty, Vindictive little scrote. For someone who was bullied as a youngster you would think he would have a little more compassion for the skaters. They way he words things is vitriolic and he puts more effort into dressing up his critiques as viciously as possible as opposed to giving any actual constructive criticism. Horrible little man.

Christine Bleakley is being lined up to replace mother-to-be Holly Willoughby on the Dancing On Ice results show as she seeks to boost her career.

Bleakley - pictured shopping with boyfriend Frank Lampard last night, has struggled to make an impression on the troubled Daybreak show with Adrian Chiles since her defection to ITV from BBC in a £6million deal last year.

According to TV insiders Bleakley, 31, will take over from Willoughby, 29, presenting the second half of the Sunday night show when Willoughby reduces her workload in line with her pregnancy.

'When Christine signed up to ITV the bosses told her they had plans to make her a massive star on the channel outside of presenting Daybreak. And this is just the start of it,' a source told Star Magazine. 

'They want her to be able to turn her hand to lots of shows, and something like Dancing On Ice is perfect for her. 

'It would be nice for her to have something a bit lighter than her serious role on Daybreak and TV bosses are convinced she will have amazing chemistry with co-presenter Phillip Schofield.

'The plan is that she would come in and present the results and skate-off to let Holly have some time out like Claudia Winkleman did for Bruce Forsyth on last year’s Strictly Come Dancing.'

The move would spark interest in the prospect of the Northern Irish presenter interviewing the ex-girlfriend of her boyfriend Frank Lampard’s, Elen Rivas, who is in this year's line up. 

Nadia Sawalha slams 'harsh' DOI exit

Nadia Sawalha

Nadia Sawalha has slammed her 'Dancing On Ice' elimination, saying it was ''harsh'' she was given the boot as audiences weren't given sufficient opportunity to vote for her following Sunday night's (09.01.11) skate-off.

Nadia Sawalha thinks the way she was eliminated from 'Dancing On Ice' was "harsh".

The 46-year-old actress - who alongside newsreader Angela Rippon was the first celebrity to be voted off the ITV1 show on Sunday night (09.01.11) - explained audiences didn't have time to vote for her following her skate-off against children's TV presenter Laura Hamilton.

She said: "What was even harsher was that I'd only just left the ice after my skate-off and then someone says, 'Lines are now closed'. I was like, 'Oh right? Did I really need to do the skate-off?' There was no time to vote for me anyway as I went last."

However, the former 'EastEnders' star admitted she understands the "evil" nature of TV, and realised the show's contestants are just "pawns in a game".

Nadia added to Digital Spy: "I have my own production company, so I understand how it works and that we are just pawns in a game. These shows are not made for us to have fun. I like watching evil as much as everyone else. I like the celebs being put in a box of rats in the jungle.

"Nobody would watch a load of nice people having a nice time showing off their lovely skating skills for a few weeks and then going home."
(I AGREE ,SHE HAS A POINT)

Oh please, NO.    Although...........


 

Jason wants Karen sacked ,she is getting to much airtime
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/ho...ch-Karen-Barber.html

Jason is a poisonous, obnoxious, egotistical twat. If he offered constructive criticism fair diues - he simply relishes the opportunity to spew out vitriol. I think DOI would be far better with him gone. Nasty, nasty man. I hate him on This Morning too ....................TBH - really don't know why he's given air time (and paid for it too!) Simply horrible!

^^^^^ What Soozy said, with knobs on! 

Nick Slater interview 14.1.11
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvs...e-talking-about.html

Smooching in the street after a cosy dinner, maybe it’s time that Christopher Dean and his Dancing On Ice colleague Karen Barber stopped denying they are an item.

The couple have always maintained that they are no more than close friends, but their tender kisses outside a restaurant suggest otherwise.

Dean, 52, who stars on the ITV talent show with his Olympic skating partner Jayne Torvill, split last year from his second wife, U.S. skater Jill Trenary.

Miss Barber, 49, a former skating professional who helps mentor the celebrities on the show after being axed as a judge, is still married to Stephen Pickavance, a trainer on Dancing On Ice.

A source told the Daily Mail: ‘Karen and Chris’s closeness has been an open secret among everyone on the show.

'They obviously care about each other a great deal.’

Last year, it was revealed that Miss Barber had spent five nights at Dean’s rented flat near the show’s former studios in Elstree, Hertfordshire, while Mr Pickavance was in Lancashire teaching northern contestants.

At the time, a spokesman for Miss Barber described any suggestion of a romantic link as ‘nuts’ and said the couple had been ‘family friends for years’.

Yesterday Dean declined to comment on their relationship.

Miss Barber has two daughters, Emma and Laura, who are 17 and 19.

Dean has two sons, Jack, 12, and Sam, ten, who live with their mother in Colorado Springs.

He was previously married to former world skating champion Isabelle Duchesnay from 1991 to 1993.
