Dancing On Ice: Fainting, Falling & Crying In the Race To The Final

The three remaining contestants on ITV’s Dancing On Ice have had a rough week as they practice for the show’s final this Sunday night.
The Sun reports that Ray Quinn fainted whilst practising his wire routine and needed oxygen before he could continue. “He was in a bad way on the high wire as he suffers from motion sickness,” a source told the paper.
Jessica Taylor ended up in floods of tears as she had difficulties grasping her version of Torville and Dean’s Bolero. Maybe she’ll get lucky and be the first contestant voted off on Sunday night, meaning she wouldn’t have to perform the routine.
To top it all off Donal McIntyre has sustained even more brusing after a lift went wrong with his partner Florentine Houdiniere.
“Everyone was thinking ‘is this jinxed’?” an ITV insider said, “So little was going right.”

I’m really looking forward to the final – I love watching all three of them, so the only disappointment will be in not seeing one of them do their Bolero. Is it too late to start a petition?
You start it, I’ll sign it
The final was absolutely brilliant – Donal was so good but Ray being much younger did have the edge.
I have met Ray and he was very polite, modest and charming – he is a born entertainer and really does appreciate his success, achieved by hard work. He is a Liverpuddlian so will never ever lose his ‘down to earth’ personality – I wish him every success with his future – he deserves it and his family must be very proud of him – I know I would be.
