Donkeys On Ice are getting good!

New thread for donkey fans...

Wow I wouldn't have guessed. I thought I'd read something about Dean being a bit of a control freak/arse but I've never really heard much about Jane.

I have also read that it's Christopher Dean who is the nasty one!

I do love how in tune they still are together when skating. Agree they skate as one and it looks effortless.

Yes when 2 become 1 Still see them as a couple that should have got married and lived happily ever after. I always think she would have if he'd been willing. I can't possibly know of course.

Arg was dropping huge hints on GMB this morning that he wants to do DOI next year....
Don't think there will be many female dancers rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect!!

He's dropping hints everywhere! Apparently he's going to get fit first.

Ha ha..Tortilla and Beans!!!

Why did my post get deleted??

I haven't received a message or an email from mumsnet telling me why. Did someone report me for something?

Can't actually remember what I said though, so it would be good to know.

From the general conversation I guess it was something about Jayne Torville.

I think that Chris was perhaps not very nice to Jayne when they were training way back. But every time I've met them (both singley and together) he has been lovely, supportive, and constructive. Whereas she was not. Maybe she's mellowed in her older years, I've not seen her for several years, but whenever I see her on screen it just makes me wince/my inner rage boils, at the memories of workshops/masterclasses with her.

An avid Torville fan probably, it will have been deemed libelous (not by me, I rarely report anything and found your statement interesting but MN are notoriously sensitive about certain posts - I think you can say how you found a person to be or the sleb twaddle type 'name a celeb you liked/hated when you met them' couldn't exist, but you cannot accuse them of causing something cough eating disorders
cough without proof.

Not me. I only ever report people for ageist nonsense of the "Old women are all dreadful drivers and should be banned from the age of 50" type stuff.

Not me either soup but now I really want to know what you said!

I heard this was going to be Gemma's routine on Sunday but she'd lost a French tip.

Wow! That routine is inhuman. Absolutely amazing.

I've never come a cropper not he ole censorship front before. Such fun.

Clearly I must have said something on my experiences with JT and something about the prevalence of eating disorders in the figure skating world.

I suppose to someone who isn't me and doesn't have my experiences it may have seemed like an unsubstantiated allegation so probs best it got taken down.

I mean, it wasn't libel, but I can't afford a lawyer 😂

Wow iklboo what a lovely routine.

I seem to remember (experts will no doubt correct me) that what T&D did that was special was connecting with the music and telling a story. Before that it was a bit like women's gymnastics is now, the music sort of went on in the background but wasn't particularly referenced in the routine. Suddenly they looked like dancers as much as skaters. John Curry was the same, very balletic and graceful.

Soup, you made a direct link between JT and 3 of your friends having eating disorders so it didn't paint JT in a very good light. Although I'm surprised it was deleted as loads of other celebs have been spoken about in a much harsher way on here and posts haven't been deleted.

There have been far far worse things said about people - Mick Hucknall, Jamie Oliver, Katie Hopkins etc Sometimes a whole thread gets pulled as 'not being in the spirit' but on sleb twaddle threads moderation seems more lax. Somebody must love JT

Oh brilliant, I'm thrilled James won, I haven't watched yet but I will during the week, have loads of telly to catch up on, it was great fun on the threads, catch you all next time around or on MC threads

Is anyone watching the World Figure Skating Championships on the red button?

WHAT??!!! WHERE? WHEN?

Bloody kept that quiet didn't they? Sodding fubble is advertised every ten flipping minutes!

Indeed! It only started today - so far only the pairs freestyle has been judged.

Tomorrow it's women's free skate at 8:15am until 12:50pm and recapped (?) in the afternoon 2:40pm-7pm.
