Dancing On Ice runner up, Jessica Taylor has admitted that she was devastated when she finished in third place on Sunday night, meaning she wouldn’t get to perform her Bolero routine.
Taylor told The Sun: “I really wanted to do Bolero. We’d had to choreograph it ourselves and had been working on it all week to get it perfect.
“It was heartbreaking to be stood in our outfits ready to go after preparing a routine we loved.”
Dancing On Ice runner up Donal MacIntyre, has begged his local council to build him a new ice rink so he can continue to practice his skating.
A famous rink where Torvill and Dean once practised was knocked down and never rebuilt, a fact which leaves Donal devastated.
Donal, who lives in Richmond, South West London, told The Sun: “Many people started their careers there, including all the judges on the show — all have fond memories.
Dancing On Ice bosses are said to be considering sacking one of their five judges to make more time for the others to be heard.
A show source commented: “There are some great names on the panel but sometimes we don’t get enough out of them. In the early stages of the competition there are so many dancers you only have a few minutes for them to comment.
Not really a shock result but former Brookside star, Ray Quinn, has won Dancing On Ice 2009.
Ray was joined in tonight’s final by Jessica Taylor and Donal MacIntyre. Jessica was first to be voted out, visibly upset at not being able to skate her Bolero routine.
Donal and Ray then went head to head and though Ray was technically perfect and superior, I personally thought Donal’s routine had more soul.
I bet when they were about to announce the results Ray’s X Factor experience flashed before his eyes. It wasn’t that long ago after all, when he had the winners title of that show snatched away by Leona Lewis.
So we are already getting ready for tonight’s Dancing On Ice live show and hoping that Ray Quinn wins!
For anyone watching the show tonight, and we know there will be millions of you, why not pop into Unreality TV forum. where we will be chatting about the routines as they are performed.
The three remaining contestants on ITV’s Dancing On Ice have had a rough week as they practice for the show’s final this Sunday night.
The Sun reports that Ray Quinn fainted whilst practising his wire routine and needed oxygen before he could continue. “He was in a bad way on the high wire as he suffers from motion sickness,” a source told the paper.
Jessica Taylor ended up in floods of tears as she had difficulties grasping her version of Torville and Dean’s Bolero. Maybe she’ll get lucky and be the first contestant voted off on Sunday night, meaning she wouldn’t have to perform the routine.
Dancing On Ice contestant Donal MacIntyre has revealed that he has no desire to win the series in Sunday nights final.
Speaking at a press conference in London, Donal said: “I don’t want to win. That’s not my journey… for Ray and Jessica I think it probably is they want to win… For me it is only about enjoying the ride… I shouldn’t be here.
“My motivation to be in the final is to be the best I can be… Trying to win is something that’s outside your control.”
Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner has insisted that Jessica Taylor may just snatch the Dancing On Ice title this Sunday night.
Bookies are touting Ray Quinn as a cert to win the series, however Jason thinks that the high wire routine may help Jessica gain much needed points.
Jason told The Sun said: “Women tend to look better in the air than men.
Former Dancing On Ice contestant Zoe Salmon has denied rumours that there was a huge rift between the skaters backstage.
Speaking to Take 5 magazine, Salmon explained: “All this year’s contestants got on really well. There’s no scandal.
“We’ve all been rooting for each other and I think that’s because the sport has a dangerous side. Nobody wants anyone else to get hurt and it’s great to see the other contestants improve.”
Coleen Nolan has revealed that she is relieved to be out of Dancing On Ice.
The former pop star was booted off the show on Sunday night just a week before the live finals.
Coleen told The Sun: “I wanted to do the semi-finals for me and my family – but I was so ready to go. Before the skate-off I said to Donal, ‘If you go out and fall I swear to God I will break your legs.’ I thought, ‘Just my luck he will fall and they have to put me through.’”
