Loose Woman Denise Welch has reportedly signed on for Dancing On Ice 2009.
She follows in the footsteps of fellow Loose Women panellist Coleen Nolan who was a surprise hit on last years show.
A source told The Mirror: “Denise knows this isn’t her natural environment – if she can go half as far as Coleen, she’ll be thrilled.”
The Daily Mail have went live with some great pictures today. The images show Bobby Davro, Tracy Shaw and Gary Lucy rehearsing for this years Dancing On Ice, and I wonder if it is a sign of things to come that only Gary seems to be able to skate without the aid of an expert?
The show will kick off late 2009 or early 2010, so it looks like these guys will have put in plenty of practice by the time their first performance comes around.
The gorgeous Donal MacIntyre is all set to release a book about his time on ITV’s Dancing On Ice.
The Irish journalist came in second place on this years series and said his new book ‘From Beginner To Bolero’ is a light hearted look at his time on the show.
He said: “It is a kind of light-hearted whimsical diary on my time on the ice – it’s kind of really a travel book more than anything, about my times, while I was training for Dancing On Ice, around the world.”
Dancing On Ice runner up Donal MacIntyre and his wife have been attacked by friends of a Chelsea football hooligan he exposed nine years ago.
Donal and his wife were drinking in a wine bar when four men set upon him. His wife tried to help and received a punch for her trouble.
Donal told The Sun: “I’ve had kidnapping threats, been assaulted before, had my car trashed and I’ve had to move many times.
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 and husband Dan Baldwin named their first son Harry. He was born at 1.18pm on Monday and weighed 7lb 4oz, according to her manager John Knight.

Loose Woman, Coleen Nolan has admitted that writing her recent autobiography made her feel “angry”.

“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.
