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.

Right couple went IMO. I think Dan has much more left in him. Very scary to see Mollie in a headbanger twice in one show!

Sparklefizz Sun 23-Feb-25 20:27:00

Yes, poor Mollie with 2 headbangers! I wonder if the celeb can refuse to do it?

Sparklefizz Sun 02-Mar-25 18:20:45

Pleeeease no headbangers tonight!

TillyTrotter Sun 02-Mar-25 18:35:09

It’s the Semi-final already Sparklefizz .

Great start, I enjoyed the professionals starting it off, (especially my old favourite Daniel Whiston)!! smile

Sam was good in the first of the celebrities.

Sparklefizz Sun 02-Mar-25 19:33:24

Oh no!! I've just had a long phone call from my daughter and missed it all. sad I'll have to catch up later.

Diversity were the Stars of tonight’s Show.
I think Dan was under-marked by the Judges and I hope the public votes make it up to him .

Rula Sun 02-Mar-25 19:41:12

Michaela is by far the best

And I agree, Diversity were brilliant with the fabulous Peri, who really should have won

Sparklefizz Sun 02-Mar-25 19:50:05

Love Peri ... and yes, he should have won back in the day. He was a m a z i n g!

Long time fan of Diversity, I loved their performance!

Looking forward to the final next week.

Diversity are local boys, DD was at college with one of them.
Their dance school is not far from here.

I've now caught up with last night's Dancing on Ice.

It was great to see Peri back on the ice. Frankly I don't think the contestants in this series (apart from Michaela) are up to the standards I remember from when Peri was in the Finals and when Ray Quinn won. Peri and Ray are two wonderful skaters who both attempted daring techniques whereas in the semi finals this week there are still some wobbly skaters and I still find myself holding my breath in case they fall over.

Sparklefizz Sun 09-Mar-25 17:22:18

Well, here we are at the Final. Who will win?

Rula Sun 09-Mar-25 17:32:24

Michaela I think, hope.

So true about the contestants not being up to previous years.

And yes, Ray Quinn and Peri will always be my favourites

TillyTrotter Sun 09-Mar-25 18:41:29

Hmmmhow can Anton get a set of 10’s when he clearly bungled one of the lifts?

Sparklefizz Sun 09-Mar-25 18:41:32

That was not a 4 x 10s performance from Anton in my opinion.

Sparklefizz Sun 09-Mar-25 18:42:26

Yes, Tilly I noticed that. The judges are trying to make the final more exciting and "touch and go" between the contestants.

TillyTrotter Sun 09-Mar-25 18:44:16

Holly looks like a sparkling Christmas bauble.

Sparklefizz Sun 09-Mar-25 18:52:36

Well, I didn't think much of Sam's routine. He was mostly just skating around wearing a moustache or being carried.

It seems the judges are going to give everyone 10s tonight. It's a farce in my opinion.

TillyTrotter Sun 09-Mar-25 18:54:47

Sam’s acting skills allow us in to enjoy his skating.
Loved the Pink Panther theme and I can’t recall it being done before.

Sparklefizz Sun 09-Mar-25 18:58:36

I'm waiting to see something exciting that blows me away.

Rula Sun 09-Mar-25 18:59:23

Yes, they'll all get 10s, no matter what.

I didn't like either performance.

TillyTrotter Sun 09-Mar-25 19:06:27

Michaela didn’t do much skating on her own - she was pushed, pulled and lifted by the male Pro’s.
It’s an odd sort of Final so far.

Sparklefizz Sun 09-Mar-25 19:08:45

I agree Tilly. It's disappointing.

Rula Sun 09-Mar-25 19:09:10

We were just saying that about Michaela. I think she's good but she didn't really do much. Also all the other skaters was a distraction. Just too much going on
