Jason Gardiner has avoided being sacked from Dancing On Ice, after his spat with Karen Gardiner last weekend and two women happy with ITV’s decision are Gaynor Faye and Hayley Tamaddon.

Both actresses have starred on the reality TV show and speaking on This Morning, agreed that the show would be boring without the caustic comments of their favourite fashionable judge.

Former Coronation Street star Gaynor, who won the show in 2006, was chatting with Eamonn Holmes about the recent furore, trying not to refer to Jason in person in case they caused any offence. When asked the judges should be forced to be pleasant and complimentary all the time, she said:

I hope not to be honest with you because that would make the show quite boring. It needs to have constructive criticism and it’s just the way you say it….you know I love the person that you’re talking about. He’s fabulous and some of things he says I agree with, some I don’t but it’s just the way he says it.

Hayley Tamaddon, who also won the show in 2010, added:

Without him it would be a very dull show.

Former Dancing On Ice winner Gaynor Faye suffered an injury to her chin and needed stitches as she rehearsed for the first night of the UK wide skating tour.

The actress, who won the 2006 series of the ITV show, was rehearsing with her partner Matt Evers in Sheffield when she fell and split her chin.

She told the Sheffield Telegraph: “It shows how dangerous this sport is really. I was skating on my own and toe picking – and fell straight on to the ice, flat out.

“I was taken up to casualty, in my costume, with eyelashes on. I managed to get my boots off. But they were a bit shocked when I walked in at Sheffield Northern General.

“They got me in quite quickly and I had to have three stitches. I’ve got a skater’s chin at last. It’s a shame this happened – it’s a blip. But I’m back.”

Will last year’s winner Gaynor Faye be able to regain her original crown for a second year? Or will this year’s skating stars have raised the bar too high?

Her and partner Daniel Whiston didn’t just skate well, but they added a certain something to their routines which couldn’t be faked or emulated by the other contestants. Their performances were always emotional, romantic and often very sassy.

I enjoyed every performance they gave, (well maybe not their very first one if I’m honest!) and I have been on the edge of my seat all night waiting for the results. When I heard that Stefan Booth was through to the finals I had a strong suspiscion that he would be voted winner just because he was a young handsome male, and not because he was the best skater. Thankfully that didn’t happen.

The result of Dancing On Ice tonight renewed my faith in the public vote, it showed that we can choose the right person to win sometimes. Of course then I switched over to BBC1 to see Russell Watson being kept in ‘Just The Two Of Us’ for another night and my faith in Joe public crumbled once more!

The pair’s performance was outstanding, especially considering that they are now more than 20 years older, you really couldn’t have told. But I am surprised to say that Chris’ and Jaynes performance was not the highlight of the show for me.

I was astounded when I realised that all the contestants tonight had to incorporate flying into their routine. As I watched the three pairs perform I couldn’t believe that they had just five days to master this skill. Bonnie Langford had a bit of an advantage over the others, she has flown many times on stage, though in a Peter Pan outfit, not ice dancing skates.

Bonnie Langford acheived top marks from the judges, and managed to earn the first perfect sixes of the series, Stefan Booth also flew brilliantly, I imagine it would be harder for a man. But the pair that took my breath away was definately Gaynor Faye and Daniel. They had the same incredible chemistry that has been obvious from week one, but Gaynor flew and skated with grace. As a fellow tall woman I know how hard it is to appear graceful beside small and petite people like Bonnie. But Gaynor looked at ease and seemed to be enjoying the whole thing.

I am waiting with baited breath to see who get to dance their version of ‘The Bolero’ later tonight and ultimately who will win the show. I am voting for Gaynor and Daniel, but there isn’t anyone there tonight that doesn’t deserve the prize.
