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

There are a lot of comments online about the crazy scoring, particularly that Clare was marked higher than Lou.

I won’t watch it while they keep Holly on the show

claire sweeney had a nasty fall and has dislocated her shoulder and has broken ribs. won't see 'cassie' in corrie for a while then.

The actress, 52, crashed to the ground while practicing hair-raising spins with her professional skating parter Colin Grafton, 32, causing her to injure her ribs and dislocate her shoulder.

Whilst not wishing her any injuries, will not miss seeing her on Corrie. (Claire aka Cassie).

Oh no, poor Claire. I hope she soon recovers ... but at least that solves the problem of the judges overscoring her all the time. It sounds like she and her partner were trying to improve her routine as there were general comments online last week that she didn't do enough skating (compared to Lou who was marked below her)

I am not keen on Stephen Mulhern's silliness which seems more suitable to his Mr Blobby days, but still looking forward to the programme tonight.

I see Claire is there so she couldn’t have been too badly injured.

Adele - wow! What a start to the show !

gillgran Sun 04-Feb-24 18:34:13

Enjoying the programme tonight, (as always a great fan)!

Ooooh! I loved the Miles, (in tights), routine.

Sparklefizz Sun 04-Feb-24 18:40:56

Miles was fabulous wasn’t he? I found his performance very poignant.

Poor Lou - under marked again!

Sparklefizz Sun 04-Feb-24 18:44:41

Great skating tonight. Amber’s lifts! Terrific!

Sparklefizz Sun 04-Feb-24 18:59:01

Once again not much actual skating from Claire.

TillyTrotter Sun 04-Feb-24 19:06:02

I loved the bravery of Ryan’s skate.
The music helped to make it powerful. The celebs feel so bad if they drop their pro lady partners.

Sparklefizz Sun 04-Feb-24 19:07:03

Yes. He was clearly upset about it.

Sparklefizz Sun 04-Feb-24 19:14:36

How did Eddie get marked higher than Lou? Am I watching the same routines as the judges?

Sparklefizz Sun 04-Feb-24 19:21:14

C’mon own up! Who was watching Sylvain?? 🤪

gillgran Sun 04-Feb-24 19:32:07

blush....!!!

Who would you put in the skate off? I’d put Claire and Ricky.

Sparklefizz Sun 04-Feb-24 19:53:19

If the judges save Claire, it’s a fixxxxx!

TillyTrotter Sun 04-Feb-24 19:55:55

Lou isn’t the worst skater but she isn’t getting the public support.

TillyTrotter Sun 04-Feb-24 19:57:00

Jane’s dress reminded me of an Angel in a Nativity.

Sparklefizz Sun 04-Feb-24 20:09:15

I always vote for Lou because I think the judges treat her unfairly and as we get 5 free votes, I can spare one for her.

I've just realised that I missed the end of Dancing on Ice as I fell asleep. Can someone let me know how it ended? Thanks x

Sparklefizz Mon 05-Feb-24 13:50:21

Sorry you missed the end of it. Claire and Lou were in the skate off. Lou was so much better than Claire all the time, and fortunately the judges finally acknowledged this, so Claire was the one to leave.

She is probably relieved because of her injuries.

DanniRae Mon 05-Feb-24 15:13:07

Thanks Sparklefizz for bringing me up to date! smile

Sparklefizz Sun 11-Feb-24 08:34:42

Did they say that tonight would be a double elimination?
