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

enjoyed that - how are her boobs staying up when it is backless?

I thought that looked great. She clearly can’t really skate though, so I think the marks from Chris and Jayne were over generous.

She was over marked !

Inconsistent marks from Jayne and Chris. They can't mark down one couple for the lack of skating and mark her up when she barely did anything.

He was the equivalent of a skating penguin bollard.

Just dropping in to say how much of dickhead Anthony Cotton is. I can't work who is a bigger dick, him or Schofield. Maybe they should have a dick off to see?

donna air used to be in byker grove and did some presenting with geordie accent millenia ago

Were we watching a different dance?

poor song for disco week

Lemar has improved....

Bit steady of Lamar

No drink!

Just popped by to say how much I dislike Jason Gardiner. I don't even "love to hate" him, just hate him. The whole package is wrong. He's not even witty or delightfully eccentric. He ruins the whole show for me.

That lacked flare didn't it? But agree Donna was overmarked and it's a lot harder for the male dancers unless they're really strong. Female celebs get picked up...A LOT!

The scoring seems to be really odd tonight. Do you think the judges take bribes?

Jason is just horrible, Ashley has much more constructive critisism , they need to to encourage the dancers not bitch at them.

Thought they were unfair on lemar cos he did loads of solo skating. Donna was deffo over marked as she hardly did any skating by herself.

Dunno. Miss Robin and Karen though and the Banjos don't do it for me.

Here's my boy!!!!

Was red fabric on special offer at the costume shop?

Yaaaay!!!!

That was better! Who is he?

Jake is good!

Well deserved !

Drink!
