Dancing on Ice starts on Sunday

I missed it Sparklefizz , although I know who left the show.
I’ll try and watch the show on catch-up TV tomorrow.
I don’t know who Connor or Regan are (feeling old!!).

Anyone watch tonight?

Steph's fall during rehearsals looked awful. She was brave to carry on.

Connor was good, I thought, and Regan was excellent.

Rachel Stevens pulled out now due to injury. can the show go on?

It carried on last year whilst people had two weeks out isolating due to Covid along with resting injuries.

Oh I’ve just read she will rest and return (hopefully).

There will be someone to step in for poor Rachel I’m sure.

Oh no! I won't miss Bez but poor Rachel .....

Rachel Stevens pulled out now due to injury. can the show go on?

Bez testing positive will probably not cause too much trouble.

Only 5 days for isolating and he's not due to skate this coming Sunday

Of course he'll miss some practicing but I doubt that will affect him

Bez has tested positive for covid so things will be disrupted

sally dynevor from corrie done very well. she is 58 too.

DoI is not just about getting novices to be able to skate, it's also an entertainment programme. And a personality programme. I'm sure Bez will be in for a few weeks yet. He was funny. People like him. They voted for him.

Not many people know Ria. She certainly didn't deserve to be in the skate off but she just isn't as well known a celebrity

There is an audience in this series vickymeldrew but I get DOI isn’t for everyone.
Being a Strictly fan it has a bit of interest in with Brendan who was brilliant. Also interesting seeing Oti on the other side as a judge. Having said that I can just dip in and out watching the bits of interest. Yes the skate off result was a strange one!

Yep, Bez was indeed the comic act and I appreciated him in that role. However to vote him in over Ria is utterly ridiculous and hurtful to her. I'm off.

Can’t warm to this programme at all I’m afraid. No live music, just tracks. Constant cheering and clapping which is obviously dubbed in afterwards. No audience either - the only people in the seats are friends of contestants and other skaters.
All fake.

That voting result was ridiculous!

Good show. Brendan was excellent.
Ria should not be in the skate off!

I'll be honest, I was disappointed.
However I did think Brendan did extremely well for a first dance and seemed very confident on the ice.
It must be much harder for a male beginner as they have the job of lifting the female skater around.
I look forward to seeing the next lot
Think I'll be recording it though as it stretches out far too long with the ads. .

I enjoyed it and didn't Brendon do well ? As did the others really but I can't understand the skate-off so early in the series.

Just watched it and shocked that she has landed in the
skate off!

Great dancing from the pro skaters, especially the opening one.

Ria does NOT deserve to be in the skate-off. I thought she was great.

I didn't get the judges' votes for Kye. To me he didn't seem that good, but then I know nothing.

I thought it was a very enjoyable show. Do you think Holly puts on a cardi in the breaks? She must be frozen.

Another one of my favourite programmes.
I'm a great fan of Jane Torville & Christopher Dean, ( also like Ashley Banjo, & Oti M.,).

As on Strictly, the pro skaters work really hard. ( I've just watched & enjoyed.)

Ohhh, Bez!! Shame for the girl in the skate off.

This will be a welcome distraction for me. I will definitely be watching. Sounds like at least 3 celebs with dancing experience. I absolutely love professional ice dancing but it's so much more difficult for most of the celebs to achieve anything that can resemble a high standard, compared to Strictly. It will be interesting to see what Brendan Cole can achieve.

I only know that Sally and Bez are performing, don't know any others in the line-up.

I am looking forward to watching it but I doubt if I will "know" more than Brendan Cole and Sally from Corrie.

Never watched it. Probably never will. But for those who haven’t heard of Bez, he was a member of the Happy Mondays, a Manchester Band discovered by Tony Wilson. Bez danced at the front and played maracas.
