Dancing On Ice winner, Suzanne Shaw is ro marry her boyfriend of three years, Jason King, according to friends.

“Suzanne has been on a complete high since winning the show,” a source told the Daily Star Sunday. “She’s been with JK for almost three years and they’re very settled. They’re in no rush to get hitched and both agree that next summer would be the perfect time.

“Suzanne knows exactly what she wants for her big day and it’s going to be a very glitzy affair. After Darren she never dreamed she’d find happiness again, let alone want to get married. But Jason is perfect for her. He’s a brilliant dad to Corey and they’re a very happy family.”

Chris Fountain may have been tipped to win last night’s Dancing On Ice TV show, but who could have doubted that Suzanne Shaw would steal the crown after watching this amazing performance?

In case you missed last nights show, here is the routine that earned Suzanne her perfect score of thirty from the judges.

Watch Suzanne Shaw on This Morning talking about her Dancing On Ice win.

After six months of gruelling training, spending close to 600 hours on the ice, and having been whittled down from twelve, the three remaining celebrities battled it out in the final of Dancing on Ice.

The three finalists first had to do a dance involving a flying element, and then each had to perform their favourite performance from all their dances so far.

Tonight everything was about the PUBLIC vote. While the judges gave marks, tonight these didn’t count, and the public vote only determined who won.

While Zaraah narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction, Suzanne received the first ever double clean sweep of 6’s by the judges dancing to Time to Say Goodbye and both Music by Madonna. Her performance left her, Jayne Torvill, Holly Willoughby, Karen Barber and her son Corey in the audience in floods of tears!

The celebs did two performances each and then there was a public vote. Zaraah Abrahams was the first celebrity to be knocked out.

Zaraah said: “We’ve had the best time. I can’t even explain how amazing tonight has been. Thank you to everyone for being so amazing.”

Chris and Frankie and Suzanne and Matt skated the bolero for the title.

Chris skated first and the judges said:

Robin Cousins: You connected beautifully but what I missed from you is the fun, it was too intense – I love it when you are just you.”

Jason Gardiner: “I disagree with you Robin, the bolero is supposed to have that intensity and Chris I have to say something here; finally you connected with Frankie!”

Suzanne danced second and the judges said:

Suzanne said: “I have had the most amazing time and I am going to miss dancing with you Matt every day and to dance the Bolero was an honour.”

Nicky: “Suzanne all night you have been on fire. It has been wonderful. You can do everything and it’s the way you present, your partnership is extraordinary. You are my winner tonight.”

After the dances they said:

Chris: “No matter what the result I have to thank everyone I have had such a great time.”

Suzanne said: “I have loved every single second of this show. I want to thank Torvill and Dean and everyone on and off the ice.”

Chris said: “I don’t mind. I’ve got to the final. I want to thank my mum and everyone. I want to thank my coach and everyone.”

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.

“He’s wonderful when he does all his tricks and solo spots but what’s going to be his Achilles heel is the fact he hasn’t nurtured the relationship with Frankie.”

Dancing On Ice star Suzanne Shaw is reported to have become the new face of George at Asda underwear.

The Mirror have reported that Shaw will start shooting for the Michelle For George At Asda range campaign later this week.

A source told the newspaper: “They approached her after she showed off her enviable figure on the show.”

She will take over from Rod Stewart’s daughter Ruby, who had previously fronted the underwear range’s campaign.

A Michelle For George spokesman was quoted as saying: “We’re delighted to have Suzanne.”

Suzanne Shaw has revealed that her recent the pain caused by her recent Dancing On Ice injury was worse than childbirth!

Suzanne told The Sun: “When I did it and they put my foot in an ice bucket, the pain was worse than childbirth. It was absolute agony. I was terrified I’d have to pull out of the competition but I’m determined to keep going for Matt’s sake. I nearly robbed him of the chance to compete in the final.”

She added: “Matt has taught me so much and has been such a great friend that I’m determined to to put in a mammoth effort and make sure we deliver a great performance this coming weekend.”

Former Hear’say singer, Suzanne Shaw may be forced to drop out of ITV’s Dancing On Ice TV show after chipping a bone in her ankle.

Suzanne has had a bad week in rehearsals. First she cut her partner Matt’s face with her skate blade, and now she has sustained quite a bad injury herself.

Shaw will undergo intensive physiotherapy.

ITV said: “Suzanne will only take to the ice if the physio gives her the go-ahead before the show.”

“She absolutely does want to perform.

“We have a responsibility to ensure that all the celebrities are fit to perform.”

Dancing on Ice star Suzanne Shaw has just cut skating partner Matt Evers face with the blade of her skate in an accident on the training rink.

The pair were practicing their routine for Dancing on Ice’s props week, when Suzanne did a handstand on top of their prop, a chair, and as she went up, her blade scraped down Matt’s face.

Medics have rushed onto the ice and are currently looking at whether he will need stitches or if the cut to his face can be glued, but he’s definately been left with a black eye!

Ouch!
