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.

Dancing on Ice

Don’t give up on your day job Corky, was the overwhelming message on last night’s DOI as Dominic fell victim to the programme’s first Ice Pick, loosing three votes to Jeff Brazier’s six.

Only Johnson, Denise and Comedy Dave saved Dominic, while the others shown their loyalty lay with Jeff, including Vanilla Ice, who appeared on the Farm with Jeff a few years back, and flipped a coin to decide, however he failed to mention which contestant was heads or tails?

It was only last week that Dominic was saved by the judges in the skate off, but his performance last night has ‘deteriorated’, said Jason, with the ‘end being the part of the routine he looked forward to the most’, seems his wish came true.

At the other end of the leader board last night was once again Sam Attwater with 25/30, who Jason called a ‘skating Viagra’, despite knowing his girlfriend, skating partner Brianne, was in the picture. Laura came in second with a respectable 20/30 points, and third Chloe Madeley with 19.5.

In the judges bottom two were Denise and Kerry, who was told off for being too dependent on her partner.

Dancing on ice

Elen Rivas and Craig Mclachlan were voted off Dancing on ice last night.

The pair, along with Jennifer Metcalfe ,were in the bottom three and skated again for their survival.

The second qualifier got off to a slow start with Aussie Craig Machalan's lack lustre routine earning him a score of 9. Second to skate was Hollyoaks' Jennifer Metcalfe, who appeared confident on the ice despite falling out of a lift. Judges gave her a score of 12, while Chris Dean said she was one of the strongest skaters in the group.

Following the two actors was Comedy Dave, who gave a routine worthy of his namesake. His stiff performance earned him 11 points, along with fiesty spaniard Elen Rivas and sportsman Dominic Cork. Chloe Madeley surprised everyone, receiving 16 points, but it was Sam Attwood who stole the show with his complicated routine, earning him a score of 21, and its only his first show.

Last to skate was Denise Welch, who scored 10 points.Judge Jason said it looked like the professional skater was dancing with his mum. Of course it's not until next week that the judges scores actually matter.
