Former Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy always bores me a little on the ice. Technically he’s not a bad skater, but his performances are always a little stilted and slow and lack the energy that other contestants like Hayley bring to the ice.

After last week’s dancing disaster I didn’t hold out much hope for Gary and his walking stick prop tonight and I hate the song Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick. However, although the routine was naturally quite stilted because of the props, the duo actually pulled off some intricate moves. Gary even managed to pull off last week’s required spin which he forgot to do last Sunday!
