“She absolutely does want to perform. Read more & comment »

Dancing on Ice star Suzanne Shaw has just cut skating partner Matt Evers face with the blade of her skate in an accident on the training rink.
The pair were practicing their routine for Dancing on Ice’s props week, when Suzanne did a handstand on top of their prop, a chair, and as she went up, her blade scraped down Matt’s face.
Medics have rushed onto the ice and are currently looking at whether he will need stitches or if the cut to his face can be glued, but he’s definately been left with a black eye!
Ouch!

Dancing On Ice star, Suzanne Shaw has been named Celebrity Mum Of The Year.
Finally, someone has won this award who isn’t a loud trampy poor role model!
Suzanne accepted the award, and spoke out against many people’s attitudes to single parents.
She said: “It really does annoy me when people criticise single mums. I remember experiencing it when my mum divorced my dad and going to church and being told that divorce was wrong.
“My mum ran out in tears. I would rather my mum was happy than unhappy.
“I’m absolutely disgusted by it. I turn my back on people like that. We don’t become mothers because we don’t want to stay with our partners. I’m giving Corey a good a life as anybody.” Read more & comment »

TV veteran, Bruce Forsyth has remarked that he thinks there are far too many reality TV shows, and that soon people will tire of the format.
MSN quotes the soon to be Knighted Brucie as saying: “For me, there’s too much. X Factor is a great show and I’m not saying there’s not room for that as a show, but too many reality shows have happened.
“The public are starting to think, ‘Is there anything else but reality? What did we do before reality? Were we entertained? And if we were did we enjoy it?’ Personally, I’ve had enough of reality. I want to see performers performing. Read more & comment »

Dancing On Ice judge, Nicky Slater made last night’s live show by the skin of his teeth, after he rushed to the studio just minutes after his wife gave birth.
It was during rehearsals for the show that his wife, Christianne, first went into labour, and of course Nicky went to be by her side. But just moments after his baby son was born, Nicky rushed back to the Elstree studios to film last night’s show.
A source told The Sun: “Christianne told him to go. The birth went very well and she told Nicky to do the show.”

Linda Lusardi has skated for the last time on ITV1′s TV show, Dancing On Ice.
Linda ended up in the bottom two tonight along with Coronation Street’s Zaarah, but predictable, all the judges voted to let Linda leave.
On hearing the news, Linda Lusardi said: “I’ve had a ball I really have. It had to end one night, and it was tonight!”
I was sad to see the back of Linda. She was never the most talented skaters on the show, not even close, but she and her partner Daniel had the most amazing chemistry. Linda obviously really loved taking part in the. show, and she put her heart and soul into each performance. Read more & comment »

Dancing on Ice judge, Nicky Slater, told GMTV this week that he could be fired for giving Suzanne Shaw a controversially low score on Sunday’s show.
Nicky defended his frosty comments saying, “It’s ‘Dancing On Ice’, it’s not ‘Lifting On Ice.’”
However, the ice-skating star revealed he could be in hot water after his remarks caused a row among the judges last week.
“There is a bit of an issue here. The skaters are given the choreography of what to do. So in a way, Suzanne is getting caught between me asking for something which is a balanced routine, and what she’s been given. So I might get sacked actually, because I’m actually questioning the balance of the routine. So in a way, I should just talk about what is performed.”

Steve Backley has faced his fourth skate off tonight, and finally his luck ran out when he found himself up against Coronation Street actress Zaraah Abrahams.
It was no surprise that all the judges chose to save Zaraah. Steve has been skating on thin ice (did you like what I did there?) for weeks now.
Jason Gardiner said: “This is one Boomerang that’s not coming back.”
On hearing the news, Steve said: “I’m disappointed to go and there is no getting away from that. I am gutted. Having the prosthetic hip is a big deal, my stumbling block is getting over that but I am delighted to have got this far. To have worked with all these people, Chris and Jayne as well and even the judges.” Read more & comment »
