Dancing on Ice starts tonight

Bonnie Langford actually DID get her head bashed on the ice doing the head banger way back in series 1. I think she was partnered with Matt Evers. How she carried on with the rest of the series is a mystery to me, because she hit with a right thump!

Have loved Diversity since 2009. There are times when they've made me almost cry with delight. And yesterday was one of those moments.

The Judges' Challenge is gradually weeding them out. Some of them last night hardly did a jump at all.

I want Nile to win and think that the judges are slightly under-marking him so that it doesn't become a foregone conclusion at this point in the show. Of course, I could be completely wrong but I find Nile and Siva exciting to watch, and the others not so much, but I have no idea about the skating techniques that Jayne and Chris are looking for.

Diversity blew me away too.
And Siva in the skate off 😱 Glad he got through.
Carly is consistently good but has a background of performing since a child and it does help.

Nile and Siva were great tonight and I will say now - I hope they are both in the Final as I love watching them skate.

I love him even more now! I remember when Diversity first broke onto the scene and Peri was just a small lad with a big mop of hair. He has always been fearless. I saw him on the programme "Splash" and even though he said he was blind without his glasses, he was diving off the top board without being able to see. I was terrified for him.

That's good to hear GG13. Where's "local"?

S E Essex, one of the Diversity Boys was in DD yr at college. Perry was often seen in Lakeside shopping with his mum. They have no airs of importance, and do a lot for the young folks in the area.

That's good to hear GG13. Where's "local"?

Excellent programme tonight.
Nile was brilliant as always.
And Diversity - what can you say, just blew me away - fabulous.

W O W !!! Peri was just amazing. He is even better than the professionals because of his gymnastic abilities. I love him!

A lovely local lad.

Diversity have purchased a local church and are renovating it to become a dance school.

W O W !!! Peri was just amazing. He is even better than the professionals because of his gymnastic abilities. I love him!

Looking forward to seeing Diversity on the ice. Peri should be good because he took part in Dancing on Ice a couple of years ago, and I thought he should have won but Ashley kept under-marking him, presumably because he didn't want to look as if he was favouring him. I thought that was a shame.

Nile's still my favourite, I thought he was as good or better than the others, Although I appreciate that the judges know best...........!?

WOW! Nile's routine was fantastic, I thought. So exciting to watch. I'm amazed that the marking was lower than The Viv's.

I agree with you Sparklefizz, I'm not at all comfortable with the headbanger, ( even when the professionals do it).

Yes, good to see all are appearing tonight.

"Top Gun" music took me back to our son's 6th form days, he & his friends were great fans, (he's 50 now!!). DS has enjoyed seeing the new film recently.
Unfortunately Darren didn't quite enforce those memories.

I've always loved "Diversity", so I'm looking forward to seeing them tonight.

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

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}

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Amazonian he certainly is Tilly.
