Just that - I enjoy this almost as much as Strictly.
It's on at 6.30pm on ITV.

Was that Matt Hancock sitting next to Phillip Schofield?

Sparklefizz Sun 05-Feb-23 19:44:12

Suspect Patsy might be in the skate off.

Sparklefizz Sun 05-Feb-23 19:44:53

Yes Kate. Matt Hancock.

TillyTrotter Sun 05-Feb-23 19:48:57

Suspect Ekin-Su will be in the skate off too.

Sparklefizz Sun 05-Feb-23 20:02:06

Oh Ekin Su is out.

Joane123 Sun 05-Feb-23 20:15:50

Yes Ekin Su has gone.
There was some good skating tonight, and I have forgotten the name of the young man (who I think is an athlete), he was excellent.

Yes Matt Hancock, with his new girlfriend. I didn’t like that - I know these things happen all the time. But it’s hurtful for his family ….and I should know.

I think you mean Nile. He's fabulous. He should win.

Great show again tonight. Yes, Nile is my favourite at the moment. I think is was an Olympic Gymnast.?

TillyTrotter Mon 06-Feb-23 07:45:00

Nile was in team GB and won a bronze medal in Gymnastics at the 2016 Olympics.

When athletes take part in these programmes like Strictly and DoI, I love their work ethic. They give their very best, they don't complain and they take constructive criticism well and follow it. They are a joy to watch. Nile is fantastic and I keep voting for him.

TillyTrotter Sun 12-Feb-23 18:54:44

Dancing On Ice is on, is anyone watching?
All the Celebs are putting even more effort into their performances and Nile Wilson is fearless and has steely determination.
The makeup and costume departments are deserving of much praise too.

Joane123 Sun 12-Feb-23 19:04:53

It is so good. Nile, as always, has given a superb performance. Keep watching.

Smileless2012 Sun 12-Feb-23 19:12:27

Thought James looked great without all the Vivienne makeup. Such a shame there were some errors but he was still brilliant. His partner must be very strong to be able to lift him like that.

Joane123 Sun 12-Feb-23 19:19:25

And the Dusty Springfield song, omg that touched my heart.

TillyTrotter Sun 12-Feb-23 19:19:42

James is Amazonian isn’t he? Could have had the top marks but for the mistakes.

Smileless2012 Sun 12-Feb-23 19:22:05

Amazonian he certainly is Tillysmile.

TillyTrotter Sun 12-Feb-23 19:39:03

I missed Siva tonight and hope he is back next week.

Sparklefizz Sun 12-Feb-23 19:59:56

Terrific show tonight.
Nile is just fantastic. I vote for him every week and hope he wins. He's so exciting to watch.

Yes, James is a big guy and must be hard to lift. I much prefer him without all the slap. His skating is good.

I hate the headbanger. I think it's an awful and ugly move, and terrifying - seems almost like abuse.

It was the right time for Patsy to go. The others have all raised their game. Darren had better work hard for next week.

I enjoyed all the music tonight.

Sparklefizz Sun 19-Feb-23 11:51:15

It looks like Joey Essex won't be appearing this evening as he's had a nasty injury on the ice. What a shame as he's one of the top contenders.

TillyTrotter Sun 19-Feb-23 12:09:40

Ouch! It reminds us that dancing on ice is potentially so dangerous.
I’m sure Joey will be training again when he is passed as fit.
Will miss his cheeky smile tonight.

Sparklefizz Sun 19-Feb-23 13:18:37

I think Siva is back tonight Tilly so we'll have to enjoy his skating instead. smile

Sparklefizz Sun 19-Feb-23 13:21:56

I wish they would do away with the headbanger. I can't bear to watch it and worry that one day a woman's head is going to be smashed into the ice. It's not even appealing to watch - certainly not graceful or elegant.

Sparklefizz Sun 19-Feb-23 18:43:39

It seems Joey is appearing this evening after all.

Anyone think The Viv was over-marked? I didn't find it particularly inspiring, but then, what do I know? {confused}

TillyTrotter Sun 19-Feb-23 19:18:32

I am on the back foot tonight - just about to start watching from the Planner. Glad to hear Joey is oK.
