Jeff Brazier on ITV's Dancing On Ice
Jeff Brazier has admitted that he wishes he hadn’t been eliminated from ‘Dancing On Ice’, as he would have found the new twist “exciting”.
The dad of two was voted off the show last weekend after he ended up in the bottom two with frontrunner Sam Attwater and admits he is disappointed not to have a place in the semi-final because he would have loved the chance to choreograph his own solo routine.
He said: “The contestants are making up their own routines this week in a twist that would have been right up my alley. We all chose a song last week that we would like to skate to on the tour, except really the producers were lining up a track for the semi-finals for us to choreograph our own move.

Jeff Brazier has admitted that while he is happy he made it to the top five on ‘Dancing On Ice,’ he is disappointed that he didn’t get offered a full time spot on the show’s nationwide tour.
The 31-year-old TV presenter – who was eliminated from the ITV1 show on Sunday night (13.03.11) – admitted that it is a small consolation that he will get to cover for Vanilla Ice at a handful of shows.
He said: “At the beginning I thought I had a chance of being top five; that’s what I was aiming for. I was aiming for the tour but sadly I didn’t get a chance to be in it. Although, now I actually have a small part in it by doing a few dates in Newcastle and Birmingham.
