Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner has claimed that he picks up new fashion and style tips on the London tube.

The new This Morning style expert told The Sun: “There’s nothing better than to see what everyday people are wearing. It’s the best way to get tips.

“I’m going to New York next week and I’ll be doing the same then.”

Loose Woman Denise Welch has reportedly signed on for Dancing On Ice 2009.

She follows in the footsteps of fellow Loose Women panellist Coleen Nolan who was a surprise hit on last years show.

A source told The Mirror: “Denise knows this isn’t her natural environment – if she can go half as far as Coleen, she’ll be thrilled.”

“Off the rink she’s speaking to Coleen nonstop about how to get training off to a flying start and asking for tips.”

Gordon Ramsay’s wife Tana and Footballers’ Wives actress Susie Amy have also reportedly signed up for the show.

The Daily Mail have went live with some great pictures today. The images show Bobby Davro, Tracy Shaw and Gary Lucy rehearsing for this years Dancing On Ice, and I wonder if it is a sign of things to come that only Gary seems to be able to skate without the aid of an expert?

The show will kick off late 2009 or early 2010, so it looks like these guys will have put in plenty of practice by the time their first performance comes around.

The gorgeous Donal MacIntyre is all set to release a book about his time on ITV’s Dancing On Ice.

The Irish journalist came in second place on this years series and said his new book ‘From Beginner To Bolero’ is a light hearted look at his time on the show.

He said: “It is a kind of light-hearted whimsical diary on my time on the ice – it’s kind of really a travel book more than anything, about my times, while I was training for Dancing On Ice, around the world.”

MacIntyre revealed he’s also working on a few other projects.

“I’ve been working on my radio stuff and writing some books and articles and doing some work over in Ireland so generally busy paying the mortgage,” he said.

Dancing On Ice runner up Donal MacIntyre and his wife have been attacked by friends of a Chelsea football hooligan he exposed nine years ago.

Donal and his wife were drinking in a wine bar when four men set upon him. His wife tried to help and received a punch for her trouble.

Donal told The Sun: “I’ve had kidnapping threats, been assaulted before, had my car trashed and I’ve had to move many times.

“I’ll take those slings and arrows, but it crosses a line when my wife gets caught in the crossfire.

“They launched an assault by punching me. My wife tried to protect me when I was on the floor.

“They were trying to get me, missed me and then got her.” She suffered bruising to her face, arms and legs. He added: “She is extremely distressed.”

Former Eastenders actress Gemma Bissix said she would rather not do any more reality TV shows but can’t rule them out in the current recession.

Gemma starred in Dancing On Ice earlier this year and may yet pop up on Celebrity Big Brother.

Speaking at the British Soap Awards Gemma told MSN:

“I don’t necessarily want to do any more reality TV and things – I am going to give it a year and try and see what I can get out of it and hopefully be a bit fussy, but I don’t think it’s possible in this recession,” she said.

“I just think with the reality TV it’s very difficult actually being established as an actress,” she said. “There’s not many dramas being made, things being written and so it’s a difficult world out there for actors at the moment.”

Loose Woman, Coleen Nolan has admitted that writing her recent autobiography made her feel “angry”.

Coleen Nolan: Upfront & Personal was released last month once she finished on ITV1’s Dancing On Ice.

“Writing it releases all those feelings and emotions you thought you’d buried,” Nolan told the Liverpool Daily Post. “You relive all the traumas and you do feel angry again.

“But, while it was painful at times, there was genuine joy and laughter remembering the great experiences that I’d lost by the wayside.”

She added: “I’d always said I wouldn’t write it until I was 70 and had had a life, but by then nobody would be interested. It is cathartic, a bit like having counselling, and it is strange walking down the street thinking: ‘They all know my secrets’.”

Dancing On Ice star Coleen Nolan has admitted that her sex life has gotten better as she’s got older, helped along by her recent weight loss.

Coleen who has recently signed a solo record deal told this week’s Closer magazine: ‘My sex life’s improved as I’ve got older. I’ve dropped the hang-ups I had back in my 20s.

‘Back then, even getting out of bed naked in front of a man was an issue. I feel happy I’m finally in control of my life.’

Speaking about husband her Ray Coleen added: ‘He’s the person I was meant to be with. I trust him 100 per cent and although I’m known as The Flirt of Loose Women, I’d never cheat on him.’

Ray Quinn has told The Sun that he’d love to play James Bond in the future….what an April Fools joke eh?

“I’d love to live in America like Leona and make a life for myself over there. My ultimate dream is to be James Bond – maybe when Daniel Craig throws the towel in,” he said.

He added: “I’d give it a few years though. Bond needs to be more mature looking than me. I’ll need to get more wrinkles then who knows.”

Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner has expressed his surprise that Ray Quinn has landed the role of Danny Zuko in the West End production of Grease.

The Sun quoted Jason as saying: “Oh my God, he’s been cast as Danny? That’s a ridiculous casting, he’s going to look like a munchkin. Danny’s supposed to be a hunk. Ray’s so small! A four-foot Danny is just ridiculous. Ray’s wonderful, but that’s absurd.”

Jason did concede that he thought the former X Factor contestant was the right winner of the ice show, saying it was “very well-deserved”.
