@DOI2011UK Ray Quinn, Chris Fountain & Hayley Tammadon will return to demonstrate skills the celebs have to master - step sequences, spins & jumps in their routines #doi

@shortchick77 This weekend, they'll be no more clinging on to their pro partner for the whole of the routine, going to be very exciting!

Now this sound better than the fail that was the Ice Pick last week!.

Sounds good. Oh.. "more clinging onto their partner". Kerry Katona is safe for another week then!

Edit - Sorry didn't see the "no" part. Kezza may be in trouble.

Dancing On Ice is to launch the next phase of the competition this weekend.

The 'Ultimate Skills Test' will see the remaining skaters given three specific skills that require purely individual expertise. They will be taught by past contestants Hayley Tamaddon, Ray Quinn and Chris Fountain.

The returning trio, who will each represent a specific skill, are to take it in turns over the next three weeks to work with the hopefuls.

Starting on Sunday, Tamaddon will showcase the steps, Quinn will represent the jump the week after, and the spin will be taught by Fountain in three shows' time.

The contestants will exhibit their new skills over the next two weeks, but they will not be specifically marked like the required element in previous series. A celebrity will still be voted off each show as normal.

The test itself will then take place on the week of the step being introduced. The skaters' routines will be required to feature all three skills, which will carry significant weight towards their individual scores.

Dancing On Ice continues on Sunday at 6.35pm on ITV1.

Hopefully this will show the viewers how best to vote then, to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Definitely, I love this, and it will hopefully stop people coasting through purely on popularity or sympathy....Denise, Johnson, Jeff, Kerry.

This sounds better than last weeks lame attempt at a twist. Looking forward to seeing Chris and Hayley again on the ice .
