Michael Underwood was kicked off Dancing On Ice last Sunday night, and now it seems he is blaming everyone for that but himself.
The first person he picked on was judge Nicky Slater. Nicky awarded Ray Quinn a score of 5 on this weeks show for an almost flawless performance and went on to award Donal MacIntyre, who is nowhere near his level a 4.5.
Michael told The Sun: “Unfortunately this series there’s been a lot of random scoring — inconsistencies — Nicky’s scoring especially.

Dancing On Ice competitor Michael Underwood has hit out at Todd Carty for his on ice silliness saying that he is trying to mislead the viewers of the show.
Last week Todd was seen stumbling off the rink in what has to have been one of the most hilarious TV moments ever, but Underwood says that Carty is a much more skilled skater than he pretends to be.
“Todd is nowhere near as bad as he is making out,” Underwood told the Daily Star Sunday. “When the cameras are off he is gliding along the ice but then once the routine starts it’s like he can’t stay upright all of a sudden.

Stars of this years Dancing On Ice series are said to be furious that Michael Underwood is taking part in the show for the third time!
Michale trained as a reserve for the show in 2007, he then took part last year before having to dro out when he broke his leg, this year he hopes to last a little longer. However some of his fellow competitors feel that all the extra training he has received over the three series will give him an edge over them.
Michael told The Sun: “Yes, I can see why people say that. In some ways it’s an advantage — but breaking your leg isn’t. It takes a long time to get over that.”

GMTV’s Michael Underwood was devastated last night after a fall during training ruled him out of the rest of the Dancing On Ice competition. Michael was taking part in a usual training session at Elstree studios ice rink with partner Melanie Lambert, learning his new routine, when during a standard stopping manoeuvre, he fell awkwardly on his ankle. Rushed to hospital in an ambulance, but with movement in his ankle, Michael hoped that it was just a bad sprain, but after X-rays, was devastated to discover that it was a clean break.
An ITV spokesperson said: “After breaking his ankle last night, Michael Underwood can no longer compete in Dancing on Ice. The whole team are sad to see Michael leave the competition in this way and wish him a speedy recovery.”
Michael said: “I would like to be be able to tell you it was something amazing, like some triple axle that I tried to do and failed, but all I was doing was trying to stop!” Read more & comment »

GMTV roving reporter Michael Underwood, 32, is sure that becoming svelte is his key to becoming king of the ice.
“Yes, I used to have a real problem with late night snacking, and I mean really bad. At half eleven at night I’d get hungry and eat
something and not just snacks. I’d properly eat which is not good because obviously you go to bed on a full stomach so I’ve completely cut that out because Lycra is very unforgiving and I still need to hit the gym now.”
The latest member of the GMTV entertainment team, Michael started his career hosting a number of shows for CBBC including
the successful Saturday Morning show Ministry Of Mayhem. Having recently been decamped down under reporting for GMTV on the latest series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Michael admits that the other skaters are now looking stronger and he’s worried.
“I was in Australia for a month and during those four weeks these guys have literally caught up and moved on. I’m playing catch up at the moment and I’m getting really worried. People like Suzanne Shaw, Gareth Gates and Hollyoaks Chris Fountain are phenomenal. I’m getting on ok but I need to get on better. Read more & comment »
