Dancing on Ice judge Louie Spence has proved he’s well deserving of the title of Big Queen as he recreated assorted iconic photographs of Her Majesty the Queen for T-Mobile’s Diamond Jubilee advertising campaign…
And in all honesty, he’s such a convincing Queen in the photos, I suspect he is in fact the secret twin of Her Maj, and he and Liz – as she likes me to call her – were separated birth.
Of his royal mimicry, Louie told TV Biz, “I absolutely loved doing the shoot and the T-Mobile ad – it was great fun.
“I’m sure I have done Her Majesty proud. Everyone knows that I make a fabulous Queen, so there really wasn’t any one else for the job!” Read more & comment »

Matthew Wolfenden may have won Dancing On Ice on Sunday night, but his ice skating career isn’t over just yet.
The Emmerdale star will soon set off on the show’s nationwide tour, along with fellow contestants such as Chico Slimani and Jorgie Porter, however he may struggle with some of his big routines, due to a painful injury he has sustained.
Speaking yesterday on This Morning, Matt admitted that he struggled with his final big lift in The Bolero, because he has injured his shoulder and finds it difficult to lift Nina above his head.

Last nights Dancing On Ice final for me, was the closest we’ve seen for years. There was no outright favourite. From the moment the series started it was always going to be either Jorgie or Matt, with Chico snapping at their heels. And realistically it could have been any of the remaining three celebrities skating that Bolero.

Dancing On Ice drew to a close this weekend, which is just as well or our eyes would literally turn square with all the TV shows we have to watch each weekend.
Just one night after the launch of this year’s series of Britain’s Got Talent and the first ever run of BBC’s The Voice, ITV’s Dancing On Ice drew to a close in a dramatic finale which saw Chico Slimani, Jorgie Porter and Matthew Wolfenden all fighting it out for the crown.

Jorgie Porter may not have had as much input into her choreography for The Bolero as Matthew Wolfenden did before her, but the Hollyoaks actress still shone when she took to the ice for the final time this evening.
The blonde beauty admitted that she had never seen the iconic Olympic winning routine as performed by Torvill and Dean before this week – she was born five years after it was first seen on our TV screens – yet only hours after watching it for the first time, she and Matt had to re-create their own take on it, with the only rule being that they started and ended on the ground.

Matthew Wolfenden admitted that he was daunted and overwhelmed when it came to choreographing his own routine to The Bolero this week.

The only guidance given by Torvill and Dean was:
