Dancing On Ice finalist, Chris Fountain has hit out at claims that due to his ice hocky experience, he had a massive advantage over the other competitors on this years show.

Chris told The Sun:

“Obviously, I had balance on the ice so I had a bit of an advantage. But at the same time that’s countered by me having to change my whole style and posture.

“I’m used to being bent over double for ice hockey, rather than keeping my back nice and straight.

“Also, I’ve pushed myself really hard and attempted more difficult moves — like the axel spin last week.

“Granted I’ve had a bit of experience, but at the same time I’ve tried to put in as much effort as any of the contestants.

“Suzanne and Zaraah are much more graceful than me. I’m getting there but it doesn’t come naturally to me.”

Suzanne agrees: “People might think Chris has an advantage. Others might say Zaraah and I have both danced before, so the competition is unfair on Chris. We’re all trying hard and he’s a great skater.” Read more & comment »

Natalie Pinkham is determined to steal the show when she returns to Dancing On Ice on Sunday night.

The Heart FM DJ was voted off the show in her second week, but will return with her fellow competitors for one last routine in the final this weekend.

Natalie told Heart: “I’m hoping that a boob may pop out because it be my one way of guaranteeing some attention, so I’m thinking Janet Jackson-esque performance.” Read more & comment »

Anyone who has been watching ITV’s Dancing On Ice will know that Hollyoaks star, Chris Fountain, started the show head and shoulders above his competitors, many believe his extra skill was mostly due to his previous ice hockey skating experience.

However Chris has spoken out today claiming that he has had to work as hard as his competitors and that he had been pushed just as hard.

Speaking at ITV’s Television Centre in London, the 20-year-old said: “I suppose it gave me a general awareness of the ice, but I still don’t think I would have been scared to fall over because that’s just the type of person I am - I throw myself into anything.

“I think I’ve tried some really difficult stuff and I don’t feel like I’ve pushed myself less than anybody else. Read more & comment »

Former Xtra Factor host, Fearne Cotton has spoken out about the amount of attention that her pal, Holly Willoughby’s revealing Dancing On Ice dresses have gotten recently, and described the drama as “hilarious!”

She told The Sun: “I think it’s hilarious. It seems weird that there is so much fuss over Holly’s boobs when they are obviously really great.

“We all know Holly Willoughby has the most amazing figure ever. Anyway she’s always dressed like that. She loves the ’50s style fashion which oozes glamour.

“It only got about five complaints. It’s all a bit of fun and she shouldn’t change.”

Pop Idol winner, Gareth Gates has admitted that he loves Holly Willoughby’s daring Dancing On Ice outfits that have been making the headlines this year.

Gareth, who got booted off Dancing On Ice this Sunday thinks that Holly is right to show off what she’s got, but he admits that he is more of a bum man!

Gareth confessed to Star magazine: “I’ve known Holly for years. She’s one of my good friends. I think she looks absolutely amazing. She looks hot! If you have a nice pair, why not show them?

“I’m more about the bum. I preferred Holly’s backless dress!”

Gareth is due to marry his fiance Suzanne this summer and he revealed that although he is only 23, the pair are desperate to start a family straight away. Read more & comment »

Holly Willoughby has teased fans of her stunning Dancing On Ice outfits with promises of something very special for this weekend’s ITV1 Dancing On Ice final.

The presenter, whose necklines have gone up and down more times than Greg Rusedski’s arse on the practice rink, said Sunday’s Bolero-special means both herself and co-presenter Phillip Schofield are looking forward to making a sexy operatic entrance when the curtain goes up.

In an exclusive interview at www.itv.com/dancingonice , Phillip said: “I’ll be wearing my purple Bolero pants.”

Meanwhile Holly raised a few eyebrows by joking that her sexy outfits will go one step further for the final: “I’ll just have two purple sequins. Carefully placed.” Read more & comment »

Here is one of the first interviews with Gareth Gates since he was booted off Dancing On Ice last night.

Gareth appeared on This Morning with Phil and Fern today and if I’m not mistaken judge Jason actually displayed signs that he might have a heart! What a shocker!!!

Dancing On Ice bosses have reportedly banned all celebrities families from the backstage area of the set, due to the amount of fighting and sniping that is taking place.

Much of the sniping seems to revolve around Hollyoaks star Chris Fountain and a source told The Sun:

“Chris’s mum has been selling her green ‘Team Fountain’ T-shirts for charity and last night the audience was full of them. Everybody else was furious, it’s got so competitive.

“We had to ban everyone from backstage because all you could hear was sniping and bitching.”

Despite being tipped this week as the winner of this years Dancing On Ice, Gareth Gates has been knocked out of the competition in tonight’s semi final.

Gareth went up against Zaraah Abrahams in the skate off, and despite the fact that it is Zaraahs THIRD time in the bottom two, Zaraah was saved once more.

On hearing the news Gareth Gates said: “I have fought out there and that is all I could’ve done, its been fantastic and I love Maria to bits. Thank you to everyone”

I thought Gareth was great tonight, and much more confident than usual, however, Zaraah was astounding on the ice. Her lifts were great and her second performance in particular was flawless. Read more & comment »
