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

No skate-off! Oh dear.
I can see Michelle Heaton being the one to go home tonight. I will be so sorry to see that. She has been through such a lot and her skating wasn't that bad at all.
We will see.

Starts at 6.25pm tonight. No skate-off from now on.

Yes, lovely Danny Mac!

Carley was terrific.

And nice to see the gorgeous Danny Mac (her husband) again!

I have just read that the rules are going to be changed this week and there will be no skate-off and thus hopes of being saved by the judges. The person to leave each week will be the one with the lowest votes ie. the judges' and public's votes added together.

Good to see Dan and Karen and I enjoyed the show.
The right person went home, such a lovely man John Fashanu, what a big man; he did well.
Looking forward to next week.

I did not recognise Karen Barber because of the amount of work she has had done to her face. Dan always was a lovely young man.

Sparklefizz Sun 22-Jan-23 20:35:16

gillgran Yes, I think Jayne and Chris's skating was recorded. Also I agree with your comment re Dan and Karen. I always remember Dan's ice dance with Hayley back in the day. Absolutely fantastic.

So the right person has gone through and we're on to next week.

Ohmother

She may be a nice girl but I feel whoever encouraged her to nearly wear that outfit and do the titillating actions was out of order for a family show. Save it for the later Naked Dancing On Ice Attraction which no doubt will be produced in a couple of years time when this wanes. Poor girl.

Thank goodness they didn’t ask her to pout her way through this week and actually wear something appropriate. She looked nervous but she’s rightly through to next week. Well done. 👍🏻

As always, I loved to see Jane & Chris on the ice, (Was their bit pre-recorded)?

gillgran Sun 22-Jan-23 19:45:51

I was pleased to see & hear Holly speak to & praise Dan Whiston & Karen Barber. They both put a lot of work in during training. Dan was always my favourite when skating (as a professional) with a partner).

Sparklefizz Sun 22-Jan-23 19:36:05

Carley was terrific.

Nanatoone Sun 22-Jan-23 19:14:13

Watching it on catch up and oh dear John Fashanu good effort. All
I can say.

lemsip Sun 22-Jan-23 19:07:01

and I see that 'maria' samia is watching over her husband sylvain.

lemsip Sun 22-Jan-23 19:04:10

oh, so pleased to see molly gallagher or 'nina' from corrie on the show. what a lovely young girl.

Barberdice Sun 22-Jan-23 19:00:19

The outfit Ekin Su wore was a similar outfit to the one Britney Spears wore in the video of the song which Ekin Su skated to. She performed to the requirements of the shows producers. She didn't do much skating due to being ill when they needed to be practising. As for the outfit and complaints being made, can't see the problem when there's hundreds of women on holiday on beaches far and wide, revealing much more.

Sparklefizz Sun 22-Jan-23 18:50:41

John Fashanu did hardly any actual skating!

Sparklefizz Sun 22-Jan-23 18:47:48

Yes. (I assume you mean The Viv's?)

lemsip Sun 22-Jan-23 18:38:57

i see more complaints coming over that outfit

gillgran Sun 22-Jan-23 17:44:40

I'm planning to watch the whole programme tonight. Last week we had visitors, so I only got to see the first one, (Joey Essex?} & the last one, (Nile ?}?

I've booked my armchair in front of the TV...
Did I hear that Jane & Chris are on the ice tonight?

Sparklefizz Sun 22-Jan-23 10:58:30

There have been over 100 complaints about Ekin Su's routine and costume last week so I imagine she will leave the show this evening. She didn't do much skating anyway.

Ohmother Sun 15-Jan-23 22:59:14

Sparklefizz Sun 15-Jan-23 21:33:31

That's interesting, Barberdice, but did you think her skating was better than the others and vote for her?

Someone has to be in the dance off after all.

Barberdice Sun 15-Jan-23 20:29:09

I did watch Love Island and Ekin Su came across as a lovely person and went on to win the show. Maybe her outfit and sexy antics didn't go down well with the voters but it seems unfair if that's the reason for not voting for her. The production team obviously wanted her to perform as she did and wear what she did to pull in the viewers and get them talking.
It no doubt worked and poor Ekin Su now finds herself in the dance off undeservedly.

Sparklefizz Sun 15-Jan-23 20:01:59

I hope Ekin Su goes home. I know the name but I've never watched Love Island and I just haven't taken to her tonight and didn't particularly enjoy her skating.
