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.

Loved Dan's routine, and it helps that I really like George Michael's song "Faith".
Excellent marks!!

I loved Molly & Colin’s skate and could really see the improvement from last week.

Sparklefizz Sun 16-Feb-25 19:08:45

Yes. Mollie had a much better routine.

TillyTrotter Sun 16-Feb-25 19:09:47

Michaela’s was a bit safe? It’s possible others will overtake her - but the routines are given to them.

Sparklefizz Sun 16-Feb-25 19:16:06

Yes, I realise that.
I didn't like Sam's performance just now. It must be just me because yet again the judges have marked him highly.

TillyTrotter Sun 16-Feb-25 19:29:24

Sparke do you think the Judges might be trying to “level-up” a bit to make more of a comp going forward?

Sparklefizz Sun 16-Feb-25 19:31:29

Yes! I was wondering that last week and have noticed it in past series when there are one or two outstanding performers.

Absolutely loved the group dances

Sparklefizz Sun 16-Feb-25 19:52:27

To me Anton seems to have no personality - he is "flat" whereas at least Charlie is sparkling.

Rainbow1235 Sun 16-Feb-25 19:56:44

Was gutted Charlie went . She’s got such an amazing smile

Rula Sun 16-Feb-25 20:06:06

I thought Anton would go. Twice now in the bottom 2 . I suppose he did do more skating as such . But he's not a delight to watch.

Sparklefizz Sun 23-Feb-25 18:25:29

I wonder if it will be Anton's turn to leave tonight unless he makes a big improvement. Personally I don't find him very entertaining to watch, although I realise the choreography isn't created by him.

Sparklefizz Sun 23-Feb-25 18:32:57

OOh! Did anyone think Michael Ball was straining his voice to sing that?

gillgran Sun 23-Feb-25 18:43:17

Maybe Sparklefizz, although I do like Michael Ball & Alfie Boe.

I'll never get to enjoy watching the headbanger, whoever performs it. shock

Sparklefizz Sun 23-Feb-25 18:50:15

I hate it too gillgran. I don't think it's the slightest bit entertaining or graceful to watch.

TillyTrotter Sun 23-Feb-25 18:55:46

There seems so few pairs left, the series has gone fast.
I can see Sam winning - he has the like ability factor and his skating is improving in speed and technique.
I think it’s harder for a male Celeb skater than a female and so I have to rate Sam higher than Michaela.

Sparklefizz Sun 23-Feb-25 18:57:29

The judges are marking high tonight.

Rainbow1235 Sun 23-Feb-25 19:07:36

Sparkle fizz I think Anton will go tonite

Ilovedogs22 Sun 23-Feb-25 19:18:16

I cannot watch this because of Holly Whatshername!! 😗

Sparklefizz Sun 23-Feb-25 19:24:28

Nobody has really blown me away tonight so far .... not even Dan!

Sparklefizz Sun 23-Feb-25 19:29:59

I'm not usually a fan of Anton's so am very surprised to find that he is the one who's blown me away this evening (plus I love that song!!)

Rainbow1235 Sun 23-Feb-25 19:32:26

I also love the song it was my mothers favourite too . He deserved all tens FairPlay

Sparklefizz Sun 23-Feb-25 19:34:37

He did Rainbow1235 - it was a very emotional performance.

gillgran Sun 23-Feb-25 20:04:12

A good skate off, shame one has to leave.

Diversity performing b

gillgran Sun 23-Feb-25 20:05:39
