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.”

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 »

Zaraah Abrahams has become the latest injured celebrity on ITV’s Dancing On Ice.

The Coronation Street actress told The News Of The World that she managed to dislocate her rib earlier this week, whilst practising with her skating partner, Fred.

“I dislocated my ribs when I was mucking around on the ice with Fred,” she revealed. I slipped and screamed – I was in so much pain.” Read more & comment »

Bookies all over the UK are said to be quaking in their boots at the prospect of Gareth Gates winning this years Dancing On Ice contest.

From early on bookies have been tipping Suzanne Shaw or Chris Fountain to win the show, but sources have revealed to the Daily Star that Gareth Gates is quickly becoming the secret favourite to win. A result that would dearly cost the bookmakers.

“In Pop Idol six years ago, Gareth was a shy lad with a stammer who the nation adored.

“Now he’s grown into a young man who has conquered his speech problems and has learned a new skill on the ice. His fans keep growing week by week. Read more & comment »

Chris Fountain, probably the best skater on Dancing On Ice this year, has confirmed that he will be taking part in the UK tour of the show later this year.

It was originally thought that Chris wouldn’t be able to do both the tour, and keep filming for Hollyoaks, but show bosses have now agreed to give him Fridays off so he can take part.

Chris told The Sun: “I’m doing the tour after all – Hollyoaks Read more & comment »

Dancing On Ice presenter Holly Willoughby appeared on ITV’s This Morning today to talk about her recent wardrobe scandal, and also about who she wants to see in the Dancing On Ice Final.

Doesn’t she just seem so nice? The kind of girl you’d love to have a bottle of wine and a girly chat with…..

Dancing On Ice star Suzanne Shaw is reported to have become the new face of George at Asda underwear.

The Mirror have reported that Shaw will start shooting for the Michelle For George At Asda range campaign later this week.

A source told the newspaper: “They approached her after she showed off her enviable figure on the show.”

She will take over from Rod Stewart’s daughter Ruby, who had previously fronted the underwear range’s campaign.

A Michelle For George spokesman was quoted as saying: “We’re delighted to have Suzanne.”

Suzanne Shaw has revealed that her recent the pain caused by her recent Dancing On Ice injury was worse than childbirth!

Suzanne told The Sun: “When I did it and they put my foot in an ice bucket, the pain was worse than childbirth. It was absolute agony. I was terrified I’d have to pull out of the competition but I’m determined to keep going for Matt’s sake. I nearly robbed him of the chance to compete in the final.”

She added: “Matt has taught me so much and has been such a great friend that I’m determined to to put in a mammoth effort and make sure we deliver a great performance this coming weekend.”

Gareth Gates had the wits scared out of him last night as he encountered a crazed fan in his dressing room for ITV’s Dancing On Ice.

The love struck fan had managed to sneek past security and was hiding in Gareth’s dressing room, when he popped back to change she lunged at him, covering him in kisses!

Gareth managed to raise the alarm, and some minders promptly removed the girl.

It was no surprise that tonight was Greg Rusedski’s last night on ITV’s Dancing On Ice.

It was ironic however that Greg skated better tonight than he ever has before. He surprisingly showed some grace and finesse, a first for Greg, and even managed to score 20 from the judges.

However it just wasn’t enough, and when he faced Zaraah Abrahams in the skate off he knew he would be saying goodbye.

In true Greg style however, instead of just doing his lap of honour at the end of the show, Greg did the ‘death jump’ over his partner Christina. He really went out with a bang!
