Former Dancing On Ice winner Suzanne Shaw has admitted that she won’ be appearing on this year’s live tour, due to injuries she has sustained.

On yesterday’s This Morning TV show, Shaw explained: “I am not doing it this year, I have go to the point where I am now so clumsy on the ice that I injure myself all the time. I have just got to stick to my day job now.

“I had about four or five injuries while in the competition. I think that the worst one was when I chipped a bone in my ankle, that was pretty painful. I also had a skate to the head which wasn’t pleasant and the usual rib injuries.”

However, she confessed that she finds it hard to watch the ITV TV show, as she gets jealous of the new stars competing.

She told This Morning: “Last year I found it hard to watch the show as I was really jealous of the celebrity contestants and I wanted to do it again. This year I am finding it a lot easier to watch, but I still miss it.

“I think that it would be really nice to be doing it again because it was such an exciting time.”

Zoe Salmon has admitted that she would have preferred Suzanne Shaw as a judge on Dancing On Ice, to Emma Bunton.

Zoe competed in the last series of the show and suggested that ITV bosses should have followed Strictly Come Dancing’s lead and promoted a former winner to the panel.

Salmon is quoted by the Daily Express as saying: “It’s really interesting because Emma Bunton did Strictly Come Dancing and now she’s ended up as a Dancing On Ice judge.

“I’d like to have seen someone like Suzanne Shaw on the panel because she’s won it. She’d have been very similar to Alesha [Dixon] on Strictly. When I watch Strictly Come Dancing I really respect Alesha as a judge because she has been there.”

She added: “Emma is so nice. I think she’ll be really like Ruthie, because Ruthie was really nice.”

“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.”

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.”
