Boyzone singer Mikey Graham has told The People that he’s going to see through his commitment to star in Dancing On Ice, and has told his friends and the show’s bosses that, “I’ll do it for Stephen.”

Stephen Gately – who of course died in Majorca last month – had himself been a contestant on the show, and Mikey told the paper, “I want to do this for Steo and make him proud.

“I know he would have been there supporting me all the way.”

Mikey had already signed up to the show before Stephen died, and it seems the show’s bosses were concerned that following Stephen’s death, Mikey may pull out of the show.

A source close to the show’s bosses is quoted in the paper as saying, “When Stephen died bosses thought Mikey might not do the show and nobody would have blamed him.

“But they are delighted he is still doing it.”

A friend of Mikey’s also said, “Stephen smiled his way through Dancing On Ice, just like he did through his life, and Mikey wants to do this for him.”

Stephen came eighth when he was on the show dancing with Kristina Lenko.
