Dancing on Ice begins this Sunday 14th with almost no fanfare compared to Strictly, but almost as enjoyable I find.

I'm looking forward to it.... will you join me? smile

Yes Sparklefizz I will be joining you. Not sure who is presenting it though?

Sparklefizz Sat 13-Jan-24 10:54:51

Apparently it’s Holly W and Stephen Mulhern

Oh yes, Sparklefizz, I'm looking forward to watching Dancing on Ice again, so I'll be joining you!

Looking forward to it

Joane123 Sat 13-Jan-24 21:01:56

Yes, definitely, I'm looking forward to it Sparkle.

Never watched it and don't intend to watch it - not my cup of tea, but I hope that everyone else enjoys the show.

Ooh, can't bear to see the headbanger.

Sparklefizz Sun 14-Jan-24 18:40:14

Gosh! I thought Greg was pretty good for week 1.

claire sweeney (cassie in corrie) is skating!

Never watched it, am a strictly fan but this year I’m watching it to support Adele Roberts.
I also like Lou Sanders, so I think I might enjoy the whole series. Looks good so far. Will join in, if I may. 😁

Great start,
Oti looks a very glamorous new mum.!! How old is her newborn?

Sparklefizz Sun 14-Jan-24 19:07:02

Oh dear! Poor Ricky. He is the equivalent of Strictly's Les Dennis.

Only a few weeks old, I think.

I really would have preferred a new hostess. I've never really taken to Holly.

But I love skating and shall be watching

Sparklefizz Sun 14-Jan-24 19:20:44

I'm not keen on Holly either. It would have been a good natural break to start with 2 new hosts instead of just the 1.

Just had my first belly laugh when Ryan dropped his partner Amani (?)

Sparklefizz Sun 14-Jan-24 19:41:47

... and then said it affected his confidence!!! Poor Amani!

Smileless2012 Sun 14-Jan-24 19:44:24

Ryan did brilliantly and all credit to Amani for having such confidence in him.

Surprised to find we get 5 free votes when there were only 6 contestants this week.

Sparklefizz Sun 14-Jan-24 19:47:28

Some very entertaining skating for week 1.

gillgran Sun 14-Jan-24 19:51:46

Yes, very entertaining! Good that we get the voting results on the same evening.

Sparklefizz Sun 14-Jan-24 19:53:04

I agree gill - no stupid pretense like Strictly.
