Dancing on Ice starts on ITV this Sunday

Great to watch Jane & Chris on the ice, I still enjoy & admire them.
We did have a couple of very short power cuts during DOI, but I didn't miss much, (one was in the adverts!!)

The right decision, Ricky was graceful in defeat.

Oh dear, Ricky hasn't improved at all, bless him.

Seeing Adele in the lineup, she looks so small and frail. My heart goes out to her.

I admire Eddie. He has no fear. I remember him skiing in the Olympics and I've seen the film about him. I also remember him in Splash, the diving competition, when he learnt to dive off the top board which looked pretty terrifying to me.

I think he'll go far.

I think Eddie surprised the judges (as well as me!) at how good he was.
Wonder who will be in the skate off with Ricky Hatton?

Yay! Go Eddie!!

Ooh! Mark fell over! It must be worrying when your pro partner falls over and then he's doing lifts.

I love Dan too.

Good to see the professionals opening the show. I was delighted to see Dan W. performing. He has always been a favourite of mine.

Well, I thought Clare was marked pretty high, but Miles was terrific for his first skate. He's one to watch.

Oh my goodness, Clare is taking a lot of falls and she hasn't even got started yet! Ouch!

Yes I will be ready ....... doing dinner early so I can sit and enjoy it and not be cooking!

Are we ready for the 2nd Dancing on Ice and to find out who will be going home? Starts at 6.30 pm

What did you think of Ricky’s hefty punch?

With luck there will be no semi-professional skater next week.

I felt sorry for Ricky Hatton as he had never put a foot on ice previously. I did not enjoy the choreography for him and when upright I thought he did well.

Also there is no messing around like Strictly, wasting time.

I agree it would have been better to have had a new female presenter as well as a male replacement and start afresh.

Great performance by the professionals.

Also, I've just realized who should have been performing, "whatshisname" from "Gogglebox"!

I agree gill - no stupid pretense like Strictly.

We were just discussing that. Strictly drags it out so much. This is much better.

Right decision

I agree gill - no stupid pretense like Strictly.

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

Some very entertaining skating for week 1.

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

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

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