Ray Quinn has admitted that he has one stand out favourite on this year’s series of Dancing On Ice.
The former X Factor contestant won the ITV skating show back in 2009 and was on This Morning today to give his opinions on the current batch of celebrities.
When asked who stand’s out for him on the 2011 series, Ray admitted:
Ray Quinn has proposed to his girlfriend Emma Stephens.
The former Dancing On Ice winner and X Factor runner up met the blonde beauty when he was starring in West End musical Grease three years ago.
Ray, 22, told Hello! magazine:
The Dancing On Ice contestants will all skate to Vegas themed tunes on Sunday’s live show and Hayley Tamaddon has revealed that this week’s required element will be ‘skills.’
The former DOI winner was doing her weekly interview on This Morning when she revealed that all of the celebrities (even rubbish ones like Kerry Katona) will have to attempt step sequences, spins and jumps in their routines.
Hayley told Ruth Langsford and Eamon Holmes:
Dancing on Ice contestant Danny Young has admitted that he ‘aspires’ to be as good on the show as former participant, Ray Quinn.
He told the Daily Star: “I think with Ray Quinn that he is someone to aspire to, he was great. But Ray had a background in dance, I think he was a latin ballroom dancer.
“I think it does give you an advantage.”
This week on ‘Grease: The School Musical’ Ray Quinn pops in to advise the potential stars of the show.
With Wallasey School chosen, Duncan James heads up to The Wirral to reveal the show that pupils will be performing. And the news goes down well. As the current West End cast, including Ray Quinn, descend on the assembly hall, there are plenty of chills multiplying across Merseyside.
Former X Factor semi finalist Ben Mills has given a very revealing interview to The Times today, in which he talks about the amount of staging and faking he experience during the 2006 series of the show.
Ben described his time on the ITV talent show as:
“completely surreal. Sharon [Osbourne, then a judge] wanted me to stage a walkout one week to generate a huge tabloid story and get me votes. When I refused, she didn’t speak to me again.”
Ray Quinn has told The Sun that he’d love to play James Bond in the future….what an April Fools joke eh?
“I’d love to live in America like Leona and make a life for myself over there. My ultimate dream is to be James Bond – maybe when Daniel Craig throws the towel in,” he said.
Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner has expressed his surprise that Ray Quinn has landed the role of Danny Zuko in the West End production of Grease.
The Sun quoted Jason as saying: “Oh my God, he’s been cast as Danny? That’s a ridiculous casting, he’s going to look like a munchkin. Danny’s supposed to be a hunk. Ray’s so small! A four-foot Danny is just ridiculous. Ray’s wonderful, but that’s absurd.”
Not really a shock result but former Brookside star, Ray Quinn, has won Dancing On Ice 2009.
Ray was joined in tonight’s final by Jessica Taylor and Donal MacIntyre. Jessica was first to be voted out, visibly upset at not being able to skate her Bolero routine.
Donal and Ray then went head to head and though Ray was technically perfect and superior, I personally thought Donal’s routine had more soul.
I bet when they were about to announce the results Ray’s X Factor experience flashed before his eyes. It wasn’t that long ago after all, when he had the winners title of that show snatched away by Leona Lewis.
The three remaining contestants on ITV’s Dancing On Ice have had a rough week as they practice for the show’s final this Sunday night.
The Sun reports that Ray Quinn fainted whilst practising his wire routine and needed oxygen before he could continue. “He was in a bad way on the high wire as he suffers from motion sickness,” a source told the paper.
Jessica Taylor ended up in floods of tears as she had difficulties grasping her version of Torville and Dean’s Bolero. Maybe she’ll get lucky and be the first contestant voted off on Sunday night, meaning she wouldn’t have to perform the routine.
