Dancing On Ice star Ray Quinn will be pushing the boundaries on this weeks show by attempting to complet an axel during his on ice routine.
The move is said to be as dangerous as the infamous headbanger but takes more skill on the part of the celebrity, as Ray will have to jump and complete a full turn in the air before landing smoothly on the ice.
Ray Quinn has admitted that he is slightly addicted to working out and that he loves “being ripped.”
The Dancing On Ice competitor revealed to The Mirror that he hits the gym at least 4-5 times a week and loves the fact that his bum is now rock hard.
Quinn said: “I love being ripped. It’s addictive. I have to put a time limit on it otherwise your muscles get used to it and they stop developing properly.
Dancing On Ice contestants are said to be getting more and more infuriated with Ray Quinn and his smug behaviour.
Ray has been top of the leader board on the show from day one, and other competitors feel that he had an unfair advantage because of his dancing background. Many of his fellow skaters also feel that he pretends to be shocked at his success each week.
A show insider told The People: “To say that Ray has rubbed a few celebs up the wrong way is an understatement. They feel his dancing ability has given him an unfair advantage from day one.
Dancing On Ice contestant Ray Quinn has revealed that he is terrified of hurting his partner Maria Filippov during tonight’s routine.
Ray and Maria are about to tackle one of their most daring routines yet and have taken some very hard falls during training. Yesterday Ray landed on top of Maria causing her to nag her head off the ice.
He told The Daily Star: “It’s definitely the most physical routine yet.
“And it’s worrying for me when I hurt Maria because she’s so amazing at what she does.
“It’s a real test of our relationship, the way we move together. If I put a foot wrong I’m stepping on her feet.
“She’s putting all her trust in me. I’ve got blades under my feet, not teddy bears, you know.”
Dancing On Ice competitor Ray Quinn managed to win over the judges tonight and achieve the first perfect score of the series.
Ray and his partner, Maria Filippov, skated to 80′s hit ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now’ and he really looked the part in his black and silver striped outfit.
Professional ice skater, Maria Filippov, has admitted that she didn’t want to perform with Ray Quinn at the start of the series.
“At first I was really worried because he’s only 20, and boys that age can be hyperactive and always going at 100 miles per hour so I thought he’d be hard work,” Filippov told The Mirror.
“But it’s been absolutely amazing working with him, a real challenge for me too because he’s so good.”
Dancing On Ice competitor Ray Quinn has revealed that he is happy to flirt with judge, Jason Gardiner, if it helps him creep up the leader board.
Quinn told the Daily Star Sunday: “I’m happy to give Jason the odd wink if it helps me get to the final – that’s a WINK, by the way! I don’t mind flirting with him. It’s all part of the fun.”
Ray is highly tipped to win this series of the ITV show, but he is less than optimistic about his chances.
Ray Quinn stepped onto the Dancing On Ice rink tonight and just blew everyone away.
He was up at the level that Chris Fountain started at last year and Chris had plenty of previous experience which Ray is lacking. Ray is a dancer and a singer by trade but tonight, watching his routine you could have been fooled into thinking he had been ice skating for years.
Ray even impressed the hard nosed Jason Gardiner who awarded him a 4.5 before saying:
Former X factor competitor, Ray Quinn has said that he is fully prepared for the camp costumes he will wear on this years series of Dancing On Ice on ITV1.
Speaking to the Daily Record, Quinn joked: “Give me pink and give me diamonds and I’m glamorous, baby. Call me Jordan.
“I’m embracing the campness. Give me a bit of yellow and a bit of pink and a bit of sparkle. I will stop at a certain point but I’m quite comfortable with my sexuality.”
