Two out next week...............Goodnight everyone..... see you next week

I just said the very same thing

Let's face it, there's not a chance she would have been able to do it.

Goodnight everyone.

Thank you, Kaytee.  I was watching the fantastic John Hurt get his Oustanding Contribution Bafta  Great stuff.

Well, that seems a very fair result tonight.  Well done Rosemary, but I think everyone's now stepping up their game and leaving you a bit behind.

Back to the Baftas for me, thanks for the laughs, see you all next week x

night everybody

Indeed .......I always feel it is far harder for the men - the girls often point their toes and make beautiful arm/hand movements but don't actually skate (I never got the Bonnie Langford love) - a good decision I think - maybe they should do this in week 3 or 4. too many clingers on get too far in the competition IMO.

Good Heavens! What a lot of fuss about nothing. Anybody who actually pays attention knows that there is more than one of each item made....and that souflés don't stay inflated forever.

We see the contestants plate up ONE dish and take it through to the judges, where there is already another dish plated at times, because each judge gets a full plateful each on certain occasions - like when they did the French/Spanish/Italian thing.

... and doing all that on skates is really impressive!  

Dancing on Ice coaches Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have reportedly banned the contestants from attempting risky moves on this week's show.

Competitors were apparently trying new lifts and jumps to avoid the upcoming double eviction, but were warned against experimenting after Jennifer Ellison fell and sliced her leg on a skate at rehearsals last night (February 17).

The new injury comes after Ellison accidentally cut her head open during her routine on last week's live show.


"She had to stop rehearsals immediately and rush off for stitches because the bleeding was quite heavy," a source told The Mirror.

"Her confidence was already fragile and now she is going to be in pain on Sunday's show."

Digital Spy favourite Jorgie Porter has been told to drop her head-banger move, while Sugababe Heidi Range has simplified a planned side lift.

Emmerdale star Matthew Wolfenden has also re-worked his wrist-ripper routine following a groin strain.

I don't know why the font's gone big at the top!

Programme starts at 6:05 tonight. It runs to 8 o'clock then an hour and a half to the skate-off at 9:30.

Just off to get a nice fortifying bowl of soup.

Hmmm....so the 23-skills thing is only for the skate-off. Only 3 set elements for the standard routines.

I'm loving Chico 

hi fluffs.....   Still liking chico, but not that impressed with the choreography this week.   He's good tho

hi sydders 

Evening everyone...flipping lappy took ages to fire up with all the updates

The spin was a bit tame, but he did do it. The jumps were not anything spectacular, but the step sequence was well done.

Hi Kaffy and everyone 

Dipping in and out due to having to feed the inmates.

Hi y'all

I do like Chico.

FluffsKaffersSyd

hi kaytee 

hi cosipoo.... 

I like Chico, but I thought he looked a bit stiff tonight

Isee Katerina's back to the cleavage, but at least the rest of the outfit seems reasonable.

Cosi

Mr K has just commented that Louis Spence should be hit with Christine Bleakley

They'll probably all look a bit stiffer than usual....focussing on the unassisted jump and spin.

Harsh!

Snogs and hugs all round in here   *trying not to burn garlic*

True, the skills focus the mind more than the actual dancing

I think Chemmy might be in danger tonight.   I like her, but her athletic frame really does stop her looking 'soft' imo

I thinks that's the best bit of skating Chemmy has done in the whole series

Did anyone see her jump? I didn't. Neither in the routine nor the replay.

I love Jayne's dress tonight

I like that she's not the usual skinny minnie; she's not big either - it's just the others and the pros are dinky sized.

I did.. they were very little jumps
