Kieron Richardson skated to ‘Time Of Your Life’ by Green Day on tonight’s Dancing On Ice and as with the contestants before him, started the routine with a 20 second solo spot.

He began on his knees and rolled into a standing position followed by a backwards glide while bent over. We found this move a little strange and at one point thought he must have put his back out! Funnily enough, all of tonight’s performances were better after the pro skater joined the celebrity, and Kieron’s routine was no different. However, we thought that Kieron was at his strongest tonight and skated with much more confidence than some of his peers. The choreography was strange at times, but all in all, we thought he did a great job.

Judges Comments:

Score: 23.0

Jason: Let’s break it down. The solo spot – I thought you performed it rather ugly. You were doubled over, it was hunched. It’s your arm movements and presentation that really let you down, and a lot of them were just gratuitous and pointless. There was no expression in them. And actually in the death spiral, you weren’t counter-balancing that and giving a continuous line with your free arm.

Karen: We’ve watched you grow not only in strength but in confidence. There was so much in that routine and you were doing some of the hardest things you’ve done so far. You did them with speed and for me, it was one of your best performances.
