WOW!!!!! Riverdance on ice ... great performance by Sam and Brianne :cheer:
Vanilla Ice has become the tenth celebrity voted out of this year's Dancing On Ice.
The rapper - real name Rob Van Winkle - failed to impress with his Spanish flamenco, ultimately landing in the bottom two with Laura Hamilton when judges' scores and viewer votes for tonight's 'World Tour' episode were combined.
After the skate-off, the panel of Robin Cousins, Emma Bunton and Jason Gardiner unanimously voted to save Hamilton, with Cousins stating that the Nickelodeon presenter gave a "stronger technical performance" and Bunton clarifying that the decision was "definitely the toughest... so far".
Speaking to Phillip Schofield and guest host Coleen Nolan, the 'Ice Ice Baby' star gushed: "I've had a great time. I never thought I'd be out here. Everything in here is just amazing and I appreciate the whole experience. It's been a great adventure."
Vanilla Ice and his professional partner Katie Stainsby concluded the show with a farewell lap of the ice rink.
Dancing On Ice returns next Sunday at 6.35pm on ITV1.

What a shame Vanilla Ice has gone. :( Hope we get rid of one of the poorer skaters next week.
Yeah it is a shame but he was up against Laura who is a great skater... Glad Laura didn't go. Sam was brilliant this week.. really enjoyed river dance on Ice!!Quote:

It's more of a popularity competition rather than a skating competition just like any other celebrity reality shows. Signs are showing that Denise and Johnston are struggling to progress as much as others but they have a bigger fanbase than Laura and Vanillia.
I think Johnson should go cos he is nowhere near as good as the others. I know he has problems and think its great what he did in the past but really that shouldnt affect peoples votes on a skating show. He isnt as good as the others and terefore shouldnt be in it.
I also think Denise should go but think really its gunna be between Laura and Sam in final
Miccisy.. totally agree with you and Denise shouldn't be there either as much as I love her... everyone has improved so much except those two and we lost some good skaters due to this.. Sam and Laura for final 2.. perhaps Chloe in Final too
I'd rather have Laura and Chloe in the final instead of Sam. He has been good since week 1 and not really did much progressing. Denise or Johnstone to go this week. It's not fair on other contestants that they're not progressing as much. And I think that Denise maybe getting extra votes for her skating partner.
Those are the 3 I'd like to see in the final. Sam, Chloe and Laura. They all deserve to be there IMO.Quote:

Denise Welch has become the eleventh star to leave this year's Dancing On Ice.
The Loose Women favourite finished in the bottom two alongside Johnson Beharry when judges' scores and viewer votes were combined, despite having had her initial points doubled after winning the team challenge with Laura Hamilton and Jeff Brazier earlier tonight.
When quizzed about her lack of support, Welch quipped: "Well, it was bound to happen at some point, wasn't it? Whatever the outcome, I've had the most fantastic time. It's been the experience of a lifetime."
Following the completion of the skate-off, judges Emma Bunton, Robin Cousins and Jason Gardiner all opted to save Beharry, who had received his highest score of the series yet from the panel in tonight's show.
During the vote, Bunton branded Johnson as "a smoother performer", while Cousins commented that the army hero "had that extra little something and determination".
The result revealed, Welch thanked the public for continuing to back her and bid farewell to her fellow contestants, who she described as "wonderful pals".
She told hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: "I never in a million years thought I would get to this stage. I'm knackered, I've had the most wonderful time... you haven't seen the last of me yet."
Dancing On Ice returns next Sunday at 7.10pm on ITV1.

Jeff Brazier has become the next celebrity to leave Dancing On Ice 2011.
The presenter finished in the bottom two with Sam Attwater after judges' scores and viewer votes for their 'Prop Week' performances were combined. Both appeared to lose support after fumbling with their allocated items in tonight's earlier routines.
The pair then did battle in a much-improved skate-off, after which a relieved Brazier stated: "If I have to go out on a performance like that I'll hold my hands up, 'cause that was my best."
However, the judging panel unanimously gave their approval to Attwater, with Emma Bunton noting that the ex-EastEnders actor had given a "fantastic second performance", and Jason Gardiner asserting that Brazier's display simply "wasn't enough".
Despite opting to let Brazier leave the competition, fellow judge Robin Cousins praised the 31-year-old for taking his performance "to another level", while Bunton revealed that she "would have loved to see both" of the bottom two in next week's semi-final.
When quizzed by hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby about what went wrong for him this week, Brazier jested: "I'm gonna blame it on the Swedish '70s roll-neck I had on."
He added: "I feel like I'm grateful to have had the opportunity and to have gotten so far amongst so many great people.
"I've enjoyed my time on Dancing On Ice, and honestly it's great and I'm gonna keep up the skating."
He then turned to professional partner Isabelle Gauthier and said: "Thanks for putting up with me for six months."
The show's mentors Christopher Dean and Jayne Torvill bid a final farewell to Brazier, where they praised the Essex-born star's extraordinary progress throughout the competition.
Dean concluded: "We've watched him grow and come along so far and [seen] how strong he's been in his lifts, his skating and his personality. He's grown so much."
Dancing On Ice returns next Sunday at 6.40pm on ITV1, with "the hardest challenge" that any contestants have ever faced.

Sam Attwater has suggested that he might skate naked this Sunday as part of the latest Dancing On Ice twist. :eek:
After last night's show, the final celebrity skaters were informed by Torvill and Dean that for the semi-finals they would be performing alone and choreographing their own routines.
Host Phillip Schofield revealed on This Morning that Attwater's first reaction to the news was an offer to bare all on the ice.
"Sam said that he wants to go out there and skate naked because it will distract everyone," said Schofield.
Eliminated contestant Jeff Brazier said that he is a fan of the latest twist on the show, arguing that it would be "extra rewarding" for anyone who makes it through to the final off the back of their own routine.

:eek: :D
eugh.. I don't want to see Sam naked...
Would love to see Chloe and Laura in the final
I think they're maybe an upset this week. Sam going out and Johnstone making it too the final with Chloe and Laura.
Johnson Beharry has just missed out on a place in the Dancing On Ice final.
The army hero became the 13th contestant booted from the figure skating show, after finishing in the bottom two with Chloe Madeley when public votes and judges' scores were combined.
After a final skate-off, hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby threw the vote over to judges Robin Cousins, Jason Gardiner and Emma Bunton. All three chose to spare Madeley, who tripped over during her earlier routine, but praised Beharry for his sensational progress throughout the show.
Cousins congratulated Beharry for making the semi-finals, while Gardiner noted that the former soldier had come "an incredibly long way", before expressing his desire for a "final that we can be proud of".
Bunton concluded the vote by calling Johnson an "inspiration" for performing a solo routine in tonight's show, given that months ago he was unable to even stand up on the ice.
His fate sealed, Johnson stepped out of the rink for his exit interview to a rapturous round of applause from the studio audience.
"[There's] no need to be sad," he told the crowd. "I had loads of fun. I had [the] time of my life."
He proceeded to thank the members of the Dancing On Ice team for helping him recover from horrific injuries sustained in the war zone.
"They actually helped me so much, words cant describe how much they held me," he said. "It's amazing."
Beharry's tearful partner Jodeyne Higgins was also quick to express her fondness for the star, stating: "This entire journey has been absolutely incredible, and every moment I've been out there on the ice with this man has been inspirational."
Madeley, Sam Attwater and Laura Hamilton will compete for the Dancing On Ice trophy in next Sunday's final, which airs at 7.40pm on ITV1.

It was right that Johnson went he was the weakest of the four. Still he has had a massive journey considering he couldn't even stand on ice at the begining of training. Poor Chloe she was gutted when they fell last night.
I hope Laura wins now
Yeah..I want Laura to win too.. she has done a fantastic job... Sam was good from day one and Laura has been in bottom two twice already.. nearly out on the first show but she has grown, is taken risks and is really fun to watch...
i want either Chloe or Laura to win, they've both worked really hard and stayed in without having massive fanbases. plus I think Sam put a lot of people off with the fake romance.
Dancing On Ice contestants Laura Hamilton and Sam Attwater have both been forced to scrap their costumes for tonight's final after suffering wardrobe malfunctions.
The Sun claims that Hamilton's Madonna-inspired corset for her 'Express Yourself' routine was ditched over fears that her breasts may become exposed during the show's live conclusion, while Attwater's jeans for a planned Footloose homage were deemed to be "too revealing" and at risk of splitting. :eek: :lol:
"Everyone wants to sex it up but nobody wants to come a cropper," a source told the paper.
Referring to the moment that Judy Finnigan inadvertently flashed her bra at the National Television Awards in 2000, the insider jested: "Chloe [Madeley]'s the only sensible one - probably because of her mum's wardrobe malfunction."
Madeley will dance to Glee's take on Dirty Dancing classic 'Time Of My Life' in tonight's final, which airs at 7.40pm on ITV1.

Chloe Madeley has finished third in this year's series of Dancing On Ice.
The TV presenter was sent home after receiving the fewest amount of viewer votes for her self-created Dirty Dancing homage and a repeat performance of her Bollywood-inspired 'Kiss Kiss' routine from week six's 'World Tour'.
Madeley finished bottom of the leaderboard after tonight's initial two dances, notching up a total of 54 points to Laura Hamilton's 56 and Sam Attwater's 58. Her rivals both received at least two 10s from judges, with Hamilton scoring a perfect 30 for her Pointer Sisters tribute.
Speaking after the result, Madeley stated: "I'm just on cloud nine, I'm so thrilled that we got to the final."
After declaring her fondness for professional partner Michael Zenezini, she added: "Hopefully we'll get to do his bolero on tour because it is a treat.
"This has been the most incredible fun, and to everyone who's going to do it next year I'm going to be so jealous. This is the best experience I've ever had."
The show's three judges and the contestants' mentors Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean variously praised Madeley throughout the night for maturing as a skater and a person within the competition.
"You light the ice up," Emma Bunton commented after her first routine, adding later: "I have loved watching you progress, I feel like we've watched this woman [appear] before our eyes, and you've come the furthest for me."
Attwater and Hamilton will now skate Torvill and Dean's legendary bolero routine in an attempt to land the Dancing On Ice trophy.

The Dancing On Ice Champion 2011 is Sam and Brianne :cheer: they were great!!!
I wanted Laura or Chloe to win. Never mind.
Sam Attwater has been crowned the winner of Dancing On Ice 2011.
The Eastenders actor garnered the most viewer votes after topping off his self-created Footloose showcase and a reprise of his 'Riverdance' routine from 'World Tour' week with an accomplished take on Torvill and Dean's legendary bolero.
Attwater, who sat atop the judges' leaderboard tonight after his initial two routines, beamed as the result was announced and enthusiastically embraced his professional partner and former lover Brianne Delcourt.
The 24-year-old then hoisted Delcourt onto his shoulders as she proudly brandished their hard-fought Dancing On Ice trophy.
When earlier asked by hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby to sum up his experience, Attwater gushed: "It feels amazing and I don't want to do what everyone does but I have to say thank you to everyone… there's so many people here and I've had the time of my life and it's all down to them."
Referring to Delcourt, he added: "I've made a friend for life, and I wouldn't be here now at this point and at the standard I am if it wasn't for Brianne."
Runner-up Laura Hamilton, who scored the series's first and only perfect 30 from judges earlier tonight, graciously accepted her defeat and acknowledged that she could have been eliminated in the first week after finishing in the skate-off after the debut viewer vote.
"It's been such an incredible experience, and to think that [I] could have not even been part of this competition at all," she said. "I've lived, breathed, slept ice skating for the last six, seven months...100% I'm gonna continue skating."
Hamilton's professional partner Colin Ratushniak further praised his companion, stating: "For a first series, who could ask for a better partner, completely fearless... she blew me out of the water with what she could."
Judges Jason Gardiner, Robin Cousins and Emma Bunton variously described Attwater as "amazing", "accomplished", "terrific" and a "real performer" throughout tonight's final.
Bunton said after his 'Riverdance' display: "We are so lucky to have you on this show, you've been an amazing skater all the way through, but I've watched you become an amazing performer [too]."
On Attwater and Delcourt's bolero, Gardiner added: "[It was] incredibly captivating. I believed that you two were passionately involved, but mosty importantly you allowed time to breathe and execute everything so we could enjoy it with you."
Torvill and Dean were similarly impressed with the star's take on their iconic routine, with the former commenting that his dance was "very moving, very passionate, very strong".
Yeah! I liked all 3 finalists, but thought Sam deserved to win on the night! :cheer: :)Quote:
