Dancing on Ice is back

Ah jeepers, I was just watching an old episode of The Chase earlier that they were on, and remembering the Dancing on Ice series. That's sad.

Yayy, off we go again!

Ah no, really? I'm only watching back now I'd never have picked her for getting voted off, she had great potential...

God, I know he's a national treasure and all, but how long is Steve Redgrave going to last at the expense of far better skaters??

Mind you, he deserves points for that rehearsal outtake - I'm still laughing at that 10 mins later 🤣

Such a shame it couldn't have been Paddy Cole singing the Jungle Book song 😥

Hopefully they bring back the dance off soon..... otherwise it'll just make a shambles of the whole thing. I wonder why they did away with it in the first place?

Oh thank the lord, sense prevailed!

Hats off to Sir Steve, but if he had knocked Sam (with a dislocated shoulder) or Chris (new partner 24 hours ago) out, it would have been a travesty.

Now, let the battle really commence!!

Yep, skate off next week - that'll concentrate some minds!

I wonder what was behind the thinking of not having it for the first few weeks?

I’ve no idea but I didn’t like it. It’s a skating competition but without the skate off it’s just a popularity contest. Some really good skating this year so the next few weeks will be interesting.

Do you mean that it’s finishing? I’ve been away for the last month so not up to speed.

I’ll be gutted if Michaela doesn’t win this.

I've just watched the second bolero (Michaela) - and Sam's was way better IMO.

Overall I think Michaela was the stronger skater through the series - but tonight I think Sam absolutely smashed it in both dances, so I've no quibble with him winning!
