Dancing On Ice is back! Time to get your skates on #1

[TheSassyAssassin]

So the Strictly glitter has settled for another year but to fill the void we have the new series of DOI starting this Sunday at 6pm on ITV1.

Our presenters will be Phil & Holly and our judges are Jason Gardiner (he's the Craig!), Torvill and Dean, and Ashley Banjo (from Diversity).

There are 12 brave stars taking to the ice this year. ’Coronation Street’ actors Anthony Cotton and Brooke Vincent lead the way, alongside ‘Hollyoaks’ star Stephanie Waring, Good Morning Britain’s weather presenter Alex Beresford, Love Islander Kem Cetinay, former ‘Great British Bake Off’ champ Candice Brown, singer Lemar, rugby player Max Evans, former ‘X Factor’ contestant Jake Quickenden, Olympian Perri Shakes-Drayton, presenter Donna Air and Bucks Fizz member Cheryl Baker.

There has already been injury - Lemar has replaced cricketer Monty Panesar who literally crashed out with a broken ankle...ouch!

So come and join us...there will be dancing , there will be ice and there will be thread mascots

Ok...Octo the Predicting Octopus (as seen on David Attenborough) predicts...this show is a FLOP.

Somebody earlier mentioned them dragging this out! Watching paint dry comes to mind🙄.

This commentator is awful. Trying too hard or what??? Bring back Tony Gubba!!!

Mind you, TBH, I only watch this cos there isn’t anything better on. I expect many people are the same. 35p to vote - no free app! SCD only charges 15p don’t they? Grabby sods!

Seems very amateurish. Reminds me of those telethon shows! So disappointed.

That group dance was, erm, interesting.

After all that faffing about they're going to have to rush it now.

I agree duck about Sylvain. The ladies have history between them don't they, with Kym marsh off Corrie getting with Stephanie Waring's DH, who is friends with Sylvain's wife (also on corrie), who got together with Sylvain whilst he was with the actress from Hollyoaks, who Stephanie (also from hollyoaks) is friends with.
Together with the fact he seems to meet his partners on DOI, it's quite the web!

Did I miss anything? I put the dc to bed after the last dance ?

What happened to Karen Barber? Did she end up with Chris Dean? I loved her, she always looked gorgeous too.

Liked the group dance.

Oh...I see...the couple that got the least votes will go up against the couple with the least votes from next week....I think!

They don't skate off til next week? That's ridiculous!

Holly ' I can't bear it'

Neither can I love , neither can I !

Zzzzz...is it all over yet?

Aww poor Candice and Matt, I like them

Catch you all next week everyone

Paul Hollywood obviously didn't vote for her!!!

Well. Not as good as I remembered it! But am hoping it warms up a bit. Some of the previous series were v good promise! Hmmm...will stick with it for a while...

annie, your post makes my head spin!

I was really looking forward to this but it was awful, the sound was echoey and much as I like Jayne T and Christopher D when they are skating they just don't have the personalities to pull off being judges.

Awful !

I'll hang on in there with you sassy, but only for the chat on this thread. Otherwise I'm out. (Oh wrong show)

Bit of an anti climax. But as there is nothing better on, see you all next week.

Same here when I read back over it, Duck 😂**

If all else fails Fuzzy we'll just have to pull DOI bingo out next week...it'll be fab-u-lous after a couple of bottles of wine

DOI Bingo...
Potential
Spatula
Journey
Two left feet
Still standing
Arse

I'm still bitter re Chris Fountain: he was robbed.

There is a DOI app. 5 free votes!

Chris Fountain... Oh yes him who wore a mask and sung a rap song about rape.....
