Anyone watch it? I felt every bump as they fell when learning to skate for the first time. Can't help feeling that Todd Carty is ITV's answer to John Sargeant!! But thought that Ray was way above all the others.

i love dancing on ice its brill
how funny was todd
hes going home for sure lol
didnt like ray thought he was to big headed lol

Stray, yes I thought Ray was cocky but he was good too, shows the difference it makes if you are a confident youngster rather than a 45 year old. Todd may be saved by the public, like John Sargeant though

can't watch it - could not relax - bit like the Horse of the Year Show - waiting for them to fall off!!!!

i think ya cld be right
but i like to see them rubbish n watch them get beter

ann, I am almost looking through my fingers. I find these first few weeks hard to watch too.

Have to agree with you. Todd Carty was rubbish but he had so much support from the studio audience I think he will be saved when it comes to the public vote.
Also thought Ray was far too cocky (didn't like him much in X factor either) but he did skate really well and was by far the best.

Off to watch the results now.

Well a predictable result. Shame really as the two in the skate off were better than Todd Carty, but that's what these programmes are all about - the public vote.

Will look forward to seeing the girls next week.

Frances

Yes, predictable, can only hope he will improve over the next two weeks. Doesn't seem fair but i think we are used to the procedure now and it is being known that counts.

So what is the verdict this week? Who will go out? should be Coleen but will she get the sympathy vote?

Ann

oh could be any
but i bet coleen wont go lmao shes brill

She is terrified isn't she?

shes just doesnt care does she lol

i think jessica was good

bit of a surprise although Gemma wasn't that good really. she didn't take defeat too well though did she?

I don't think many people are watching this series on here by the response to this thread.

I watched it and will follow it when I can, as o.h. doesn't like the programme so depends what else is on.
I thought for a slightly larger older lady, Coleen was very good once she got over her nerves. I mean, she is rather sturdy isn't she? The one who went out was really upset and I do think maybe they should keep everyone in for the first couple of programmes to give them a chance.
Melinda looked awful with that glittery eyeshadow on but I think she is game for things, and is good fun. I am glad she and Wayne sorted out their differences and are back together now, altho I always thought he didn't look man enough for her lol
I wish them all luck and hope no one has any major injuries tihs series. I like Donal but not sure he will get far.

It took me a few minuites to realise that they were wearing thick tightsand not tanned legs,,,i bet they're a devil to get on,, a bit like 'contour knickers'....lol..
Isnt Melinda's husband a bit girly looking?,,He reminds me a bit of a thunderbird puppet,,,or 'knitting pattern man',,,,I like Melinda,,she's always happy,,

I love it Ann, I fell asleep though and missed the result, is Gemma the one who used to be in Eastenders?

I quite like the programme and usually watch it but not with the same enthusiasm as I do 'Strictly'. I was surprised in a way that Coleen survived as I genuinely thought she was the least able skater, but on the other hand she most probably has a massive fan base from her Loose Women programme where she has admitted that she is indeed terrified. And as for her being 'solid/chunky' or whatever - she has apparently lost a couple of stone !! Anyone seen her Discoburn video? I shall take a look at Mondays Loose Women to see what she has to say about her debut on ice. I agreed that the girl in pink - Gemma? - was the second less able skater but always feel sorry for the first person who goes out. All that hard work for just one routine, seems a shame but someone has to go. Next week should be interesting as the boys and girls get together to fight it out with a prediction that probably Todd and Coleen will be the less accomplished skaters again but.... will they escape the skate-off? Interesting.

Gemma didn't take defeat well at all did she. But I think, as you say, they should have one public appearance with nobody going out to give them a chance at getting their public 'ice feet'!. Gemma wasn't that good but she was not worse than Coleen. I think her disappointment was that it became a competition between her and Roxanne, East Enders versus Emmerdale.

Coleen will lose weight if she stays in.

I just saw the first show on Saturday when it was repeated, as I was watching the darts last week.

Thought Todd Carty should have got the boot.

Glad Gemma went cos I don't like her lol, but have to admit Coleen should have gone.
