Yet nobody seems to care when we get.... smooth almost professional skaters entering DOI ,who glide through the competition like a walk in the park . Some of us have NEVER set foot on the ice EVER in OUR lives ...me included, so i would be at a massive disadvantage.

no one in DOI has past experience though, only if you're a celebrity sportsperson who been a ice hockey or speed skater for example

Nicky .....Chris Fountain for e.g played Ice hockey prior to DOI when he took part in the show , which is a massive advantage.

And others have done similar things . And I know for a fact some of the celebrities have done a bit of skating in their lives....I'm not Saying they're professional skaters ..but come on it's obvious they're ahead of someone, who's never been on the ice before in their life !. And some of them look a little too comfortable on the ice , whereas others are clearly first time beginners.

I just find it odd how it's more accepted, yet it's a cardinal sin to have 'previous dance experience '...on strictly. You get called a 'ringer' . Which is ridiculous imo .
