Dancing On Ice Final: Chloe Madeley misses her big Dirty Dancing lift!

Chloe Madeley started tonight’s Dancing On Ice as the underdog, and things didn’t get much better after her Dirty Dancing themed showcase routine.

Before skating, the TV personality admitted that she was desperately trying to avoid falling as she did on last week’s show, at the same time she wanted to work a huge lift into her performance.

The lift didn’t go so well, in fact Chloe failed to raise her legs when Michael caught her and the whole thing flopped terribly. Thankfully she improved soon after, the neck spin was astounding and the rest of the routine went without a hitch.

Laura Hamilton chose to run with a Madonna theme for her showcase routine for tonight’s Dancing On Ice final.

Sam Attwater looked excited to be performing on the Dancing On Ice final this evening.

For his first routine, the former Eastenders decided to skate to the 80′s classic ‘Footloose’ and choreographed three dangerous headbangers into the performance.

It was a fast and furious piece and while rehearsing the difficult two person lift, Sam managed to injure his ribs. He hadn’t managed a full run through before the live show, so we were nervous for him when he took to the rink.
