Yes

My four votes counted for something 

I can only think that Matt wasn't liked as a person by the GBP as to why he didn't get the votes, it can't be because Beth was the better skater as she clearly wasn't.

Am I to presume that stompy Matt came second? 

Oh well, thats life.

 He did.

Yep, the first wrong winner of any of these shows that I can remember in Beth.

Good!

 Never mind Vids, you'll pick a winner some day. 

Thanks for the company, goodnight everyone.

Maybe the public appreciated how well she'd done never having skated before. Maybe they loved her athletic artistry and maybe they were a bit miffed that the judges (particularly Jason) were ridiculously over critical cos she couldn't ham it up like an actress.

Night everyone, it's been fun

Well that's a wrap for another year,  as they say. Thanks for all the fun and giggles.... and apologies if I got a bit heated at time

just had to rewind to see the faces again..

thanks for the company people 

.... maybe they just enjoyed watching her more, like me! 

Bye Bye for now everyone and thanks for the company on here

I did that to watch the judges!   

No he's won 3 times, with the Corrie woman in first series and Hayley T

Thanks all for the company - great result

Or maybe (like on here) the GBP didn't like Matt and his cockiness in the early part of the series and never forgave him for that, and maybe he was judged by the viewers unfairly ever since.

Matt should have won he was the  better skater .

I don't like the pro skater that won tonight he always gets a decent skater imo.

the winning skate for me 

Torville and Dean

Dancing on Ice series eight concluded with 6.69 million viewers last  night, overnight data reveals.
The show's ratings have been underwhelming  in comparison to previous series, but it still managed to collect an overall  audience share of 24.5% between 7pm and 9pm.

Beth and Daniel celebrate their win.

Dancing on  Ice commentator Tony  Gubba has died at the age of 69.

 

A statement on his official  website from representatives NMP Live read: "It is with great sadness that we  can confirm the passing of Tony Gubba aged 69, following a short illness. Our  thoughts are with his family".
Gubba appeared on all eight series of Dancing on Ice from 2006 to the most recent run in 2013, but took sick  leave some weeks ago.

 

what sad news - thanks Erin - RIP Tony x

What like Kerry Katona? Beth couldn't skate when they first teamed up.

yep - and who'd have thought that Gaynor Faye would turn out to be a winner?    Maybe Daniel's just a good teacher.   

Shame about Tony Gubba - they just mentioned he was ill a couple of weeks ago, didn't they?

I forgot about her

Maybe he is as Kaffy says a good teacher.

Staying close to each other, the pair arrived  back at their hotel with their arms wrapped around each other, clearly not  worried about who saw them.

Quiet night: The former soap star opts for a night with  Brianne rather than celebrating the end of the show with all of the other  contestants

Getting cosy: The partners pulled each other in close as  they walked from their car into the hotel, consoling each other after losing out  to Beth Tweddle

You are right, I'd forgotten about his win with Hayley.

Read about Tony Gubba passing away. RIP Tony.

Yes he is a good teacher, but Beth still wasn't good enough to win.

Very sad about Tony Gubba, he had a very recognisable voice - was worried when he missed his third week  RIP Tony

R.I.P Tony Gubba.

If we want to keep the forum nice and tidy we can now let this thread go

The ice rink'll be a small puddle by Monday
