Here is one of the first interviews with Gareth Gates since he was booted off Dancing On Ice last night.

Gareth appeared on This Morning with Phil and Fern today and if I’m not mistaken judge Jason actually displayed signs that he might have a heart! What a shocker!!!

Strictly Come Dancing judges seem to be following the lead of their ITV counterparts and are pushing the BBC for more money if they are to take part in this years series.

SCD judges are rumoured to be paid £60,000 for their 12 week stint on the show, while X Factor judges are paid at least 10 times that!

A show insider told The Sun: “We want to get the deal done so we can start planning for the show in September. None of the deals have been finalised yet, but all the judges are asking for more cash.” Read more & comment »

Dancing On Ice bosses have reportedly banned all celebrities families from the backstage area of the set, due to the amount of fighting and sniping that is taking place.

Much of the sniping seems to revolve around Hollyoaks star Chris Fountain and a source told The Sun:

“Chris’s mum has been selling her green ‘Team Fountain’ T-shirts for charity and last night the audience was full of them. Everybody else was furious, it’s got so competitive.

“We had to ban everyone from backstage because all you could hear was sniping and bitching.”

Despite being tipped this week as the winner of this years Dancing On Ice, Gareth Gates has been knocked out of the competition in tonight’s semi final.

Gareth went up against Zaraah Abrahams in the skate off, and despite the fact that it is Zaraahs THIRD time in the bottom two, Zaraah was saved once more.

On hearing the news Gareth Gates said: “I have fought out there and that is all I could’ve done, its been fantastic and I love Maria to bits. Thank you to everyone”

I thought Gareth was great tonight, and much more confident than usual, however, Zaraah was astounding on the ice. Her lifts were great and her second performance in particular was flawless. Read more & comment »

Zaraah Abrahams has become the latest injured celebrity on ITV’s Dancing On Ice.

The Coronation Street actress told The News Of The World that she managed to dislocate her rib earlier this week, whilst practising with her skating partner, Fred.

“I dislocated my ribs when I was mucking around on the ice with Fred,” she revealed. I slipped and screamed - I was in so much pain.” Read more & comment »

Bookies all over the UK are said to be quaking in their boots at the prospect of Gareth Gates winning this years Dancing On Ice contest.

From early on bookies have been tipping Suzanne Shaw or Chris Fountain to win the show, but sources have revealed to the Daily Star that Gareth Gates is quickly becoming the secret favourite to win. A result that would dearly cost the bookmakers.

“In Pop Idol six years ago, Gareth was a shy lad with a stammer who the nation adored.

“Now he’s grown into a young man who has conquered his speech problems and has learned a new skill on the ice. His fans keep growing week by week. Read more & comment »

Chris Fountain, probably the best skater on Dancing On Ice this year, has confirmed that he will be taking part in the UK tour of the show later this year.

It was originally thought that Chris wouldn’t be able to do both the tour, and keep filming for Hollyoaks, but show bosses have now agreed to give him Fridays off so he can take part.

Chris told The Sun: “I’m doing the tour after all – Hollyoaks Read more & comment »

Dancing On Ice presenter Holly Willoughby appeared on ITV’s This Morning today to talk about her recent wardrobe scandal, and also about who she wants to see in the Dancing On Ice Final.

Doesn’t she just seem so nice? The kind of girl you’d love to have a bottle of wine and a girly chat with…..

Dancing On Ice star Suzanne Shaw is reported to have become the new face of George at Asda underwear.

The Mirror have reported that Shaw will start shooting for the Michelle For George At Asda range campaign later this week.

A source told the newspaper: “They approached her after she showed off her enviable figure on the show.”

She will take over from Rod Stewart’s daughter Ruby, who had previously fronted the underwear range’s campaign.

A Michelle For George spokesman was quoted as saying: “We’re delighted to have Suzanne.”

Suzanne Shaw has revealed that her recent the pain caused by her recent Dancing On Ice injury was worse than childbirth!

Suzanne told The Sun: “When I did it and they put my foot in an ice bucket, the pain was worse than childbirth. It was absolute agony. I was terrified I’d have to pull out of the competition but I’m determined to keep going for Matt’s sake. I nearly robbed him of the chance to compete in the final.”

She added: “Matt has taught me so much and has been such a great friend that I’m determined to to put in a mammoth effort and make sure we deliver a great performance this coming weekend.”

Gareth Gates had the wits scared out of him last night as he encountered a crazed fan in his dressing room for ITV’s Dancing On Ice.

The love struck fan had managed to sneek past security and was hiding in Gareth’s dressing room, when he popped back to change she lunged at him, covering him in kisses!

Gareth managed to raise the alarm, and some minders promptly removed the girl.

It was no surprise that tonight was Greg Rusedski’s last night on ITV’s Dancing On Ice.

It was ironic however that Greg skated better tonight than he ever has before. He surprisingly showed some grace and finesse, a first for Greg, and even managed to score 20 from the judges.

However it just wasn’t enough, and when he faced Zaraah Abrahams in the skate off he knew he would be saying goodbye.

In true Greg style however, instead of just doing his lap of honour at the end of the show, Greg did the ‘death jump’ over his partner Christina. He really went out with a bang!

Former Hear’say singer, Suzanne Shaw may be forced to drop out of ITV’s Dancing On Ice TV show after chipping a bone in her ankle.

Suzanne has had a bad week in rehearsals. First she cut her partner Matt’s face with her skate blade, and now she has sustained quite a bad injury herself.

Shaw will undergo intensive physiotherapy.

ITV said: “Suzanne will only take to the ice if the physio gives her the go-ahead before the show.”

“She absolutely does want to perform. Read more & comment »

Dancing on Ice star Suzanne Shaw has just cut skating partner Matt Evers face with the blade of her skate in an accident on the training rink.

The pair were practicing their routine for Dancing on Ice’s props week, when Suzanne did a handstand on top of their prop, a chair, and as she went up, her blade scraped down Matt’s face.

Medics have rushed onto the ice and are currently looking at whether he will need stitches or if the cut to his face can be glued, but he’s definately been left with a black eye!

Ouch!
