TV’s real Mr Nasty, Jason Gardiner has hit out at the two celebrities most likely to win tonight’s Dancing On Ice final.
Jason is backing Coronation Street actress Zaraah Abrahams to win, but hasn’t many nice things to say about Suzanne Shaw or Chris Fountain.
His sharp tongue lashed out at Suzanne first when he told The News Of The World:
“She’s still using the sympathy vote which is unnecessary at this stage of the competition. Skating’s dangerous - Torvill and Dean are constantly getting hurt. In the end I feel most people yawn, ‘Oh God, she’s whingeing again.”
“It’s a negative strategy and she’s good enough to be able to stand on her work alone. The bottom line is everyone’s been hurt. It’s just the way it goes.”
Jason added he believes Hollyoaks actor Chris is selfish.
“He’s not a generous partner. It’s all about Chris. He’s a young lad and he’s in a self-consumed bubble,” he says. Continue reading ‘Dancing On Ice: Jason Gardiner Slams Finalists‘ »

Jason Gardiner, the evil little Dancing On Ice judge, that for some strange reason always wears scarves or polo necks to cover what must be a hideous neck, has hit out today at Simon Cowell.
Many of us have commented in the past that Jason is trying to be Cowell, except he just doesn’t have the personality to pull it off. However Mr Gardiner would argue that he is more qualified to offer his criticisms than music moghul Simon Cowell.
Speaking to Star magazine Gardiner stated:
“Simon can’t actually sing. I, however, have an extensive and very credible dance career, so I can still do what I am criticising.”
When he heard that Cowell had branded the Ice judge as worse than him, Jason told Star Magazine: “Simon Cowell said I’m nastier than him – that’s not true, because he destroys people’s dreams.”
Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to get tickets for the Dancing On Ice Live Tour. I would have loved to go as I was an addict of the show and the thought of seeing Duncan James glide across the ice LIVE is almost too much to bear.
However, reports and reviews of the show have been great, I have yet to hear of a disappointed fan. Have a look here for a great review, The Daily Mail’s Claire Bates particularly loved Kyran’s body popping and Jason’s ever scathing remarks. Sounds like a great night out!

Jason Gardiner’s barbed comments have gotten so bad on ITV’s Dancing On Ice that the producers told him off last week for going over the top. Jason however defends his actions to The Mirror saying:
“I know what I say stings like a slap in the face at first, but it’s what I think and is meant to help the celebrities improve.
“Producers are forever accusing me of going too far - they told me off last week. But it’s become too PC. And look, sitting there week after week by the ice, freezing and watching s**t is no picnic.
“I’m not going to say how wonderful everyone’s doing, when they’re clearly not. I wish we could fast-forward to week five or six so we can get rid of all the tragedies.”
Tonight will see the final of the Dancing On Ic competition, and most contestants if they were wise would be trying to butter up the judges and get them on side.
But not Stefan Booth! He has been quoted by the Mirror as saying that Jason Gardiner, one of the three judges on Dancing On Ice is “not qualified”.
Stefan, 26, added that Gardiner - who told Olympic God Medal winner Dame Kelly Holmes that she looked like a man in drag- was “just trying to make a name for himself”.

Bonnie Langford has spoken out against the tabloids who have reported major rivalry between her and fellow Dancing On Ice Contestant Dame Kelly Holmes.
She told the Daily Record that “We are all beginners, struggling with our own demons and hurdles that we can’t get through. We are all as petrified as each other and support each other,”
“I can assure you there is no competition between Kelly and I. We were watching the television together when Kelly said to her partner Todd that she wanted to do a lift because I couldn’t do it. But we laughed about it.”
I’d say that Kelly has more to worry from judges like Jason Gardiner than she does from Bonnie!
Bonnie can’t skate anyway, all she does is hold on to her partner and let him lift her once in a while! Not much to compete with really!

Dancing On Ice judges Robin Cousins and Nicky Slater are ignoring fellow judge Jason Gardiner after deciding that he benn much too critical of the contestants to date.
An insider told the Sunday Mirror, “Robin and Nicky can’t stand Jason. They’ve had it with him. They hate how he has been so aggressive to the contestants and revels in his notoriety.”
Jason has compared Kelly Holmes to a “man in drag” and Andrea McLean to “a giraffe having sex.”
