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 »

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!
