Former Eastenders actress Gemma Bissix said she would rather not do any more reality TV shows but can’t rule them out in the current recession.
Gemma starred in Dancing On Ice earlier this year and may yet pop up on Celebrity Big Brother.
Speaking at the British Soap Awards Gemma told MSN:
“I don’t necessarily want to do any more reality TV and things – I am going to give it a year and try and see what I can get out of it and hopefully be a bit fussy, but I don’t think it’s possible in this recession,” she said.
Dancing On Ice presenter Holly Willoughby has had a baby boy, her manager confirmed.

“Holly Willoughby and her husband Dan Baldwin are delighted to announce the birth of their son, Harry James Baldwin,” he said in a statement. “Mother and baby are doing well.”
Loose Woman, Coleen Nolan has admitted that writing her recent autobiography made her feel “angry”.
Coleen Nolan: Upfront & Personal was released last month once she finished on ITV1’s Dancing On Ice.
“Writing it releases all those feelings and emotions you thought you’d buried,” Nolan told the Liverpool Daily Post. “You relive all the traumas and you do feel angry again.
Dancing On Ice star Coleen Nolan has admitted that her sex life has gotten better as she’s got older, helped along by her recent weight loss.
Coleen who has recently signed a solo record deal told this week’s Closer magazine: ‘My sex life’s improved as I’ve got older. I’ve dropped the hang-ups I had back in my 20s.
‘Back then, even getting out of bed naked in front of a man was an issue. I feel happy I’m finally in control of my life.’
Ray Quinn has told The Sun that he’d love to play James Bond in the future….what an April Fools joke eh?
“I’d love to live in America like Leona and make a life for myself over there. My ultimate dream is to be James Bond – maybe when Daniel Craig throws the towel in,” he said.
Dancing On Ice bosses are said to be looking for some sexier skaters for their next series of the show.
The Sun reports that show execs hope to bring on some professionals who have the potential to become as famous as the Strictly Come Dancing pros, but it will mean getting rid of some of their “aesthetically-challenged” skaters.
A show source told The Sun: “Bosses have been aware for some time their professionals are a rare-looking bunch. They might get by with their sequins on but they look rough in training scenes.”
Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner has expressed his surprise that Ray Quinn has landed the role of Danny Zuko in the West End production of Grease.
The Sun quoted Jason as saying: “Oh my God, he’s been cast as Danny? That’s a ridiculous casting, he’s going to look like a munchkin. Danny’s supposed to be a hunk. Ray’s so small! A four-foot Danny is just ridiculous. Ray’s wonderful, but that’s absurd.”
Dancing On Ice runner up, Jessica Taylor has admitted that she was devastated when she finished in third place on Sunday night, meaning she wouldn’t get to perform her Bolero routine.
Taylor told The Sun: “I really wanted to do Bolero. We’d had to choreograph it ourselves and had been working on it all week to get it perfect.
“It was heartbreaking to be stood in our outfits ready to go after preparing a routine we loved.”
Dancing On Ice runner up Donal MacIntyre, has begged his local council to build him a new ice rink so he can continue to practice his skating.
A famous rink where Torvill and Dean once practised was knocked down and never rebuilt, a fact which leaves Donal devastated.
Donal, who lives in Richmond, South West London, told The Sun: “Many people started their careers there, including all the judges on the show — all have fond memories.
Dancing On Ice bosses are said to be considering sacking one of their five judges to make more time for the others to be heard.
A show source commented: “There are some great names on the panel but sometimes we don’t get enough out of them. In the early stages of the competition there are so many dancers you only have a few minutes for them to comment.
Not really a shock result but former Brookside star, Ray Quinn, has won Dancing On Ice 2009.
Ray was joined in tonight’s final by Jessica Taylor and Donal MacIntyre. Jessica was first to be voted out, visibly upset at not being able to skate her Bolero routine.
Donal and Ray then went head to head and though Ray was technically perfect and superior, I personally thought Donal’s routine had more soul.
I bet when they were about to announce the results Ray’s X Factor experience flashed before his eyes. It wasn’t that long ago after all, when he had the winners title of that show snatched away by Leona Lewis.
So we are already getting ready for tonight’s Dancing On Ice live show and hoping that Ray Quinn wins!
For anyone watching the show tonight, and we know there will be millions of you, why not pop into Unreality TV forum. where we will be chatting about the routines as they are performed.
The three remaining contestants on ITV’s Dancing On Ice have had a rough week as they practice for the show’s final this Sunday night.
The Sun reports that Ray Quinn fainted whilst practising his wire routine and needed oxygen before he could continue. “He was in a bad way on the high wire as he suffers from motion sickness,” a source told the paper.
Jessica Taylor ended up in floods of tears as she had difficulties grasping her version of Torville and Dean’s Bolero. Maybe she’ll get lucky and be the first contestant voted off on Sunday night, meaning she wouldn’t have to perform the routine.
Dancing On Ice contestant Donal MacIntyre has revealed that he has no desire to win the series in Sunday nights final.
Speaking at a press conference in London, Donal said: “I don’t want to win. That’s not my journey… for Ray and Jessica I think it probably is they want to win… For me it is only about enjoying the ride… I shouldn’t be here.
“My motivation to be in the final is to be the best I can be… Trying to win is something that’s outside your control.”
