skills test, solo skate-off, two eliminated next week
 

Two celebrities will leave Dancing on Ice next week after facing one of the biggest challenges in the show's history.

Hosts Phillip Schofield and Christine Bleakley confirmed at the end of tonight's (February 12) episode that the remaining nine contestants will face an 'Ultimate Skills Test' consisting of 23 required elements, including advanced manoeuvres such as crossovers and spins.

After judges' scores and viewer votes are combined, the three celebrities at the bottom of the scoreboard will for the first time in Dancing on Ice history take part in a skate-off without their professional partners.

Only one of the trio will be saved by the panel of Louie Spence, Katarina Witt and Robin Cousins - leaving just seven still in the running.

Rosemary Conley became the latest celebrity to leave Dancing on Ice after falling into the bottom two with Chemmy Alcott in this week's vote.

Tonight's Valentine's-themed extravaganza saw Jennifer Ellison rush off the ice in agony after cutting her head open with her own skate.

I'm really looking forward to next weeks show, especially the skate off.


I reckon this will show Heidi, Andy & maybe Jennifer what skating skills they have.

I love Sam and Heidi bit worried!!

Tricky because, Jorgie, Matt, Chico and Seb are safe as houses until at least final 6/7. Then Seb will probably be dropped as hes not that interesting so votes will dry up. But for now he has nothing to worry about and certainly not the others. Theyre there definitely to final 5, 1 might leave going into final 4 especially if others improve (looking at Jen, Heidi and Sam here if given the chance).

So that leaves Chemmy, Andy, Jen, Sam and Heidi to place B3.

Chemmy could get rebound plus I see her being great at nailing specific techniques, so possible that she could escape but like Seb, dont think many will be right behind her. Jen has a lot of hype behind her so she has nothing to worry about just yet.

Sam is being seriously underrated I see him being there :( Andy is probably the weakest and will be there also I reckon. Even with the Corrie fans haha. Its a toss-up between Heidi and Chemmy joining them.

I know it wouldn't happen, but just say the public votes lead to the bottom three being Jorgie, Matthew and Chico with two going....


The producers would crap themselves :laugh:

I think Andy can skate ok solo :) The only two who need to worry if they end up in the bottom three at this stage, who hang onto their partners for support a lot of the time, are Jennifer and Heidi. Those two want to hope they don't end up in the bottom three, that or hone their solo skating skills pretty darn quick.

Don't say that :( We can't have Chico go just yet :bawling:

That would be amazing :laugh:

Even though I love Jorgie and Matthew. Id just love to see them all squirm.

I agree Andy can skate, (I had to pick a third contestant) I just think the others have shown they can do more on the ice.


It was a fleeting thought.......









and it's now gone.....:D

It seems a punishing schedule,add to that the psychological worry of 2 leaving the contest,it should make for some really good performances.
