Dancing on Ice 2024

I couldn't see another thread, is anyone watching? I thought the opening pro number was fabulous, loved the skate through London.

Will be interesting to how it is with Stephen and Holly, they seemed relaxed together when he stood in for Phil.

Oti's marking is weird, how did Ryan get more than Miles?

@cathyandclaire yes I'm getting used to Stephen now. I think he's doing well.

I think Stephen could make it his own without Holly, there's no need for both of them. He doesn't need her standing there doing all that silly eye rolling, treating him like an irritating child.

I don't understand that either.

Oh. Amber in the skate off. They'll put her through.

Not one step on her own.

She's clinging on like a limpet again...

Amber just gets thrown about. She needs to let go and skate on her own.

Ricky just wobbled. That will be their excuse to send him home.

Good skate off from Amber, she doesn't skate much independently but she isn't just being pushed around. She is an active partner, a little awkward at the end though.

I'd keep her over Ricky I think. Close though.

Thought so.

Wrong wrong wrong!!

Typical. Chris actually said "It's all the skating" to her whilst she just clings on and gets thrown about! Laughable. She won't win, she's very unlikable and very smug. She will go next week now - hopefully - as they expect her to skate unaided which she obviously can't do. Ricky didn't deserve to go.
Eddie is my favourite.

All about the skating

Neither were great, but it annoys me that being pushed around, albeit gracefully, gets more value than actually trying to skate and perhaps being a bit wobbly now and again. If you’re a graceful, easy to lift (slim) female you’ve got an advantage- it shouldn’t happen!

I thought Amber was better than Ricky so glad she was saved. She is quite unlikeable though so imagine she'll go next week unless she's top of the leaderboard & avoids the dance off.

Eddie for the win for me.

In what way is she better though?? Not having a go - just genuinely interested. I know nothing about skating but to me, someone small and light being able to make pretty shapes when they’re lifted in the air, but unable to actually skate on their own is nowhere near as good as someone who can skate on their own!

Amber should of gone home. She’s very smug! Oh well. Let’s she if she skates on her own next week!!

@FancyJapflack She moved better to me and looked better on the ice. Ricky wobbled and I simply didn't enjoy watching him.

I accidentally pressed delete on my recordings instead of play 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️!

So "fat boy " from EastEnders left tonight?

Not sure if I can be bothered to watch it all again in ITVX .

Can't get into it this year ?

Not watched yet so will read comments later

I wouldn't bother @bizzey - ITVX is a terrible streaming platform with far too many ads (& constant glitches). Can you not retrieve it from your deleted items?

For the first time since D.O.I. started so many years ago I have lost interest. Didn't even switch it on last night. 😐

I hate Mulhern and I thoroughly dislike Willoughby so watching it is not easy for me as I have to fast forward each bit until I get to a dance, watch that, listen to the comments, then fast forward again. Willoughby needs to understand it’s not about her and she should not try to outdo everyone else. She is awful! As for Mulhern, whatever possessed the directors/producers to have that little worm on just beats me. What WERE they thinking? He is even worse than Willoughby! I don’t recall ever feeling violent towards a person in all my years but I would love to smash that smirk off his ugly mug. A great programme totally ruined by crap presenters , yet the powers that be can’t seem to see it!!

Skating ability I'd say they were similar but amber was more graceful less wobbly so I'd say it was fair
