Jump and Shout!
This week all the skaters had to incorporate jumps in to their routine which was easier for some than others. Poor old Kieron ended up in A & E during the previous week’s rehearsals and even had war scars on his lip after attempting to take to the air. Luckily, it was alright on the night and even though his performance was met with mixed scores from the judges, his two axel jumps were injury-free! Sadly, it wasn’t the same story for Mikey, who injured his shoulder during dress rehearsals just hours before the show. This made performing a real struggle and resulted in his lowest score yet – 13.5 out of 30.
Hayley Tamaddon shows no sign of giving up her place at the top of the scoreboard and her performance with partner Daniel Whiston was typically top class – they scored an impressive 26 points. Danny Young was relieved to score 22 after a few weeks of 17s, and it was also a good night for Danniella who performed a ‘County’ themed dance!
Emily Attack got her highest score to date, 18.5 points and performed a tricky helicopter lift with partner Fred but still divided the judges. Karen applauded their performance and described it as ‘challenging’ but Jason wasn’t so keen and commented he still didn’t see much of a performance from Emily. The high score proved to be bitter sweet for the ‘Inbetweeners’ actress as she still found herself in the Skate Off with Danniella. The Ice Panel voted 4-1 in favour of the EastEnders’ actress Danniella, so it was down to tearful Emily to say ‘Goodbye’ to the competition. The youngest competitor, departed saying, “I’m not just saying this to be cheesy, it’s changed my life literally. My attitude-it’s given me so much discipline. I’ve had the best partner. I’ve made a friend for life. And those guys over there [the rest of the celebs competing in this year's show] I love them all so much.”
