I really do feel the Headbanger should be excluded from Dancing on Ice. Why should female skaters be subjected to such a dangerous manoeuvre? Plus it doesn't even look all that attractive, and I find I am grimacing every time the woman's hair grazes the ice.

Maura last night said how terrifying it is, especially after her head hit the ice during practice when thankfully she was wearing a helmet.

I reckon it should be banned. Do others think the same?

I am afraid this was a popularity contest, not a skating contest. Perry was head and shoulders ahead of Joe. I think that bolero was the best I have ever seen
What a wonderful sportsman he was. So gracious when Joe' win was announced.

PERRI should have won

Even my phone agreed seeing as it's capitalised his name

Yes, gracious in losing. I love him! His Bolero was breathtaking.

I'm disappointed but not shocked.

I imagine that because Perri was already a " sportsman " in his own right with Diversity, whereas Joe, nice as he is, was a complete novice but put great effort into his skating and literally came from nowhere which is why he won.

Perri had a head-start which he'd have realised himself and being the lovely lad that he is, bowed out gracefully.

Quite disappointed that Perri didn't win..
Joe has worked very hard though. They were all good.

I have rewatched Perri's breathtaking Bolero on YouTube. For Chris Dean to say that it's the best Bolero he's ever watched on the series is high praise indeed. Perri is very elegant on the ice and I found his Bolero very moving.
