I love watching ice skating so feel pleased that a new series of Dancing on Ice starts tomorrow, Sunday 12th. Will anyone else be watching?

I read this morning that Jane and Chris will be hanging up their skates for good shortly.

When you saw last week’s group of Celebs they are an eclectic mix.

Good to see Dan, (he was always my favourite!) smile
Nice to see him acknowledged, Karen too.

Dan skated smoothly. I don't know him but from his initial skating introduction with Jayne and Chris, he was better than I expected.

I meant Dan W., !

Dan Whiston is a fantastic Creative Director if the show and was always a popular Pro skater. Good to see him in the spotlight tonight.

Thank you, I'd forgotten how to pronounce/spell his surname!

Gosh! Steve got through.

TillyTrotter Sun 19-Jan-25 19:57:14

I remember him gillgran he had a cute bum (am I allowed to write that?) 🥹

gillgran Sun 19-Jan-25 20:02:30

Yes you are, TillyTreotter, grin.
I remember he had a cheeky wink!! wink

Possibly Dan’s best ice dance with Hayley Tammadon - Jai Ho.

I get a bit cross with the female clebs, just being lifted about and scoring well.

I thought the towie bloke certainly had "it".
Very graceful.

I fell asleep after watching Steve Redgrave and was surprised he received the public votes because he skated as I used to but I was about 12 at the time.

I only "know" him and Sam from Coronation Street. The pro skaters are very good.

Oh, his shorts! grin

I'm glad Steve was saved. A real non skater. Tried his best.

The girl that broke her wrist - I was expecting her to be able to skate alone, at least for a few seconds, but she didn't.

She scored 7.5 or something, though!

Dan looking good as James Bond.

Sparklefizz Sun 26-Jan-25 18:46:06

Michaela and Mark's routine was so elegant and graceful - really lovely.

Sparklefizz Sun 26-Jan-25 18:49:00

Is anyone else watching?

gillgran Sun 26-Jan-25 18:58:43

Oh yes! Watching & enjoying, as usual.

Hello Gill

Sparklefizz Sun 26-Jan-25 19:07:23

Oh dear. I feel embarrassed fpr Sir Steve. I don't know why he is putting himself through this.

Oh dear. I feel embarrassed fpr Sir Steve. I don't know why he is putting himself through this.

He did look uncomfortable, didn't he? I expect he'll be relieved to be going out tonight, ( unless his fans vote to keep him).
Much as we admired him for his rowing achievements, I won't be voting for him.

Sparklefizz Sun 26-Jan-25 19:38:57

I won't be voting for him either and I hope he goes out tonight because he is by far the worst skater, and I am nervous he will fall over all the time he's on the ice. It won't be kind to keep him in the competition.

TillyTrotter Sun 26-Jan-25 19:45:11

It’s all down to public vote tonight so it will be who’s popular not necessarily who’s the best skater.
However Steve has to be in the danger zone.

I enjoyed Anton Ferdinand’s routine.
