Sam wins Dancing on Ice

Sam claimed the title of Dancing on Ice winner 2011 last night. The soap star proved his worth after delivering an outstanding performance of his own version of Torville and Dean’s Bolero, along with children’s TV presenter Laura, whose routine was, according to the judges, ‘Slow to get going’, putting her in overall second place.

The pair were chosen by the public vote to skate the honourary Bolero after Chloe was knocked out of the competition, following the celeb skaters’ final showcase, which saw them choose the costumes, lighting and make-up, and an encore performance of their favourite routine.

Top skater Sam wowed  the judges, even with the injury he sustained in training, with his choreography to ‘Footloose’, which Jason said was ‘fiesty and very clever’, and Emma called ‘Ammmazzzing’, earning him a score of 29.5/30.

Laura skated to Madonna’s ‘Express yourself’, which saw her and two other female professional skaters don secretary outfits, while the men wore very little. But her attempt to recreate Madonna’s music video was unsuccessful. Comments from the judges included, ‘You don’t have the fire I expected’- Robin and ‘You were missing the sexy Madonna feel’- Emma. Laura’s score 26/30.

Chloe took on the part of Baby for her Dirty Dancing performance to ‘The Time of my Life’. However much like Laura, she failed to pull it off, mainly because of her tabletop lift, which Jason branded a ‘collapsible cardboard table, earning her a score of 25.5/30.

For their encores, Sam re-perfomed his Riverdance on ice, Laura her routine to ‘I’m so excited’, and Chloe ‘Kiss Kiss’. But despite Jason’s approval for Chloe’s routine, even taking his hat off to her and revealing the results of his recent hair transplant, the TV presenter come model, failed to win the support of the public to dance the bolero,placing her in third place.

Dancing on Ice-Comedy Dave skates his last lap

It's back to the day job for Comedy Dave, who was voted off Dancing on Ice last night for his performance-less routine.

The Radio 1 presenter, who failed to live up to his name, received one vote from the three judges to stay in the competition from skating expert Robin, while Emma and Jason chose to save Kerry (Katona) based purely on performance, despite her being at the bottom of the judges leader-board with 12/30. 'Kerry has lots of catching up to do with the other skaters' they all agreed.

Last night's show was the second of the Ultimate Skills Test, where celebs were required to perform a jump in their routine. The theme of the show was musicals.

The front runners (skaters) Sam, Laura and Chloe, as usual performed at their best, with Laura catching up to Sam with a score of 25.5/30 for her Hairspray routine, for which she was branded by Jason as 'Soooo Disney.'
Hot on their heels was Jeff, who, with his new found confidence, delivered a controlled performance to open the show, earning him 22/30, his best score to date, even beating Vanilla Ice, who Jason said 'was melting.'

Once again Denise's performance to Chicago's Roxy was ripped apart by judge Jason who told her 'Your Fosse arms were more like windscreen wipers', and 'You lacked the sentiment of the performance.' Denise said, 'I was trying to be sexy', 'We didn't get that', replied Jason. Fortunately Johnson escaped Jason's wrath for his comical routine, with Emma praising him for trying something new each week.

Next Sunday the celebs must perform three tricks, a step sequence, jumps and a 360 degree spin, which will count for more than half their overall score.
