Dancing On Ice Odds

It hasn’t even started yet but bookies are already taking odds on who is going to win this year’s Dancing On Ice. I’m going to try to be positive about the show, though I may struggle, because it does require a modicum of skill to get through a routine so I’ll give credit where it’s due.

Without fail, the line-up is yet again a scraping of the barrel of celebs trying to stretch out their has-been 15 minutes of fame but, I suppose, that’s irrelevant when trying to triple toe loop across the ice especially if you’re Angela Rippon!

The rest of the cast include….drum roll please….Sam Attwater (who?????), Laura Hamilton (who?????), Jennifer Metcalfe (vaguely familiar), Jeff Brazier (touted as a TV host but really only famous for being with Jade Goody), Kerry Katona (for God’s sake), Johnson Beharry (not a clue who he is), Nadia Sawalha (hurray, I name we know!!), Vanilla ‘Ice Ice Baby’ Ice (queue ITV minions lining up the ‘Ice’ puns as I type), Angela Rippon, Denise Welch, Steven Arnold (no idea??), Chloe Madeley (famous only for being offspring of Richard & Judy), Elen Rives (famous only for marrying Frank Lampard), Dave Vitty (???), Craig McLachlan (was in neighbours 20 years ago) and last, but not least, Dominic Cork who finishes off the list of people we’ve never heard of!

It could still be good though and after a few weeks we’ll probably be cheering them on and waiting for the terrible ones to get the boot. We’ll be booing and hissing at Jason Gardiners cruel comments, and wondering how many complaints will go to OFCOM about Ms. Willoughby’s attire and generally be oohing and ahhing at the skill of some of the good ones…

Odds at the moment are obviously based on not having seen any of them actually skate so they could all change after tonight’s show…
