Dancing on ice 2019

[sheepdog]

Since a thread hasn't been started yet....the contestants lined up for Dancing on Ice have been revealed during the last days. You might have missed with the ever so exciting Conservative Party Conference taking all the headlines but if you're like me, you probably don't care either.

Anyway:

https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/20**Personal info**/dancing-on-ice-2019-contestants-line-up-rumou...

(replace personal info with 20**Personal info**)

So next year you get to witness:

Gemma Collins: some sort of reality show regular who's claim to fame is being on a contrived reality show. so claiming the Z-lister status of the show. Quote "I don’t know how they’re going to lift me up and how fast I can move around the ice, but I really want to give it a go!". Somehow I don't think thats going to happen. 

Richard Blackwood: another celeb looking to remain on TV after leaving Eastenders. Apparently has played the role of Donkey in Shrek the musical. 

James Jordan: yes, the Mr Bad Attitude from Strictly has found a job! Big advantage but lets face it, everyone is only going to tune in to see him fall and fail. Then there's the potential showdowns with Jason adding to the tension....

Brian McFadden: has he got some book or record deal coming out soon? At least his appearance fee will cover his drving fine

Saira Khan: runner up of the Apprentice series one and probably its best success. I'll expect her to work hard and do very well as that's her nature.

Ryan Sidebottom: Cricketer apparently. Looks rather like Sean Walsh currently on Strictly so maybe nobody will notice if they swap....

Melody Thornton: another Pussycat Doll. Is there some sort of backstage agreement that there must be at least one PCD member on UK TV at any given time?

Joe Mangle Mark Little : Ah the ever popular Mark is back on UK TV. Serious rival to Todd Carty's legacy of comedy. Will he be better that Cheryl Baker from last year? We'll find out soon enough.

Jane Danson: Token Coronation Street entry. Cue lots of former Coronation Street videos wishing her good luck every single week and lets try not be surprised when they partner her with Dan Whiston (he's being creative director so may not be skating).

Obviously we'll be getting the obligatory Love Island entry at some point...

Apparently they've brought back Karen Barber as Head Coach so with James Jordan and Jason Gardiner involved this might be worth watching. Sadly ITV are sticking with The Gopher and Wannabe but who will they get for the commentator?

Saara and Hamish Saara's routine was brilliant but worthy of 4 10s. Sorry I don't see it. James was better.

I think, from the rest of your comments @Glory1  you mean NOT worthy of 10's ? Lol

That's what I said. 'Saara's routine was brilliant but worthy of  4 10s, sorry I don't see it'. James was better. Maybe the way I made it 2 sentences rather than 1 was what confused.

Ah I get it now.....Sorry, a case of misreading Lol

I also phrased it badly. So easy to misread.

[Cleoriff]

And now it's time to bite our nails....

[Cleoriff]

James is through...thank god!! and Wes and Vanessa....

Just how it should be...

[Glory1]

Wes and Vanessa WOW. An amazing routine. Brilliant!

[Cleoriff]

Wes and Vanessa skated Bolero beautifully. Well done to them both....

[Glory1]

James and Alexandra Words fail me. It was jaw droppingly fantastic. Love, love, loved it.

[Cleoriff]

James and Alexandra.

Wow, I'm in bits....just absolutely superb. Just edged it I think.

Chris is right. One of the best Bolero skates ever seen...

[Glory1]

Now I'm nervous. I want James to win. And I do think his was the better Bolero. Fingers crossed 

[Glory1]

Chris and Jane again words fail me. They were fantastic. I love watching them.

[Cleoriff]

That Bridge Over Troubled Waters routine by Jayne and Chris was just phenomenal.

How they still can skate like that even now is beyond me....
