First up was Hollyoaks actor Kieron Richardson and partner Brianne Delcourt skated to Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve - Buzzcocks) and scored 19.5 out of 30. He said: “I think those scores are just for my hair! I have to say thank you to Brianne because all of our performances have been really diverse. I do struggle and I think she gets the best out of me.”
Karen Barber (scored 4): “That was a great performance. It was fast, energetic you brought punk to the ice, for me one of your strongest performances so far, Kieron well done.”
Jason Gardiner (scored 3.5) “It’s a shame for a little stumble it for me it would have been a four. I thought this was a great performance from you, I loved the opening and ending choreography, that was very inventive. Your flailing limbs worked very well in this. Overall you’re doing well.”
Angela Rippon (scored 4): “You little punk rocker, you took me right back to my youth. I used to have a boyfriend with hair like that! That was a seriously polished performance, you get my gold star. You are the competitor who started by admitting that you’ve never danced, never ice skated so starting from zero the kind of level of performance that you’ve achieved in this competition is outstanding. I thought that was great.”
Former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies with skating partner Pavel Aubrecht skated to Stay (Shakespear’s Sister) and scored 16 out of 30. She said: “It wasn’t so much ditching, we tried really hard on Monday and wanted to do the programme but by Wednesday it was just evident that the shoulder would not do another fast routine having done a fast one last week. So there was kind of two choices really.”
Phillip asked You said in your tape that you wanted something that wasn’t quite so taxing, do you think you’re pushing yourself enough?”
Sharron replied: “I didn’t mean taxing as in difficult, but the stuff was taxing as in my shoulder. I’m just trying to deal with the injuries.”
Nicky Slater (scored 3.5): “I thought you did very well actually, there was a constant speed through the routine. This whole routine was made up of an element and extension out, so it worked overall. There was no surprises for me and I think you’ve made a tough call this week having chosen your music and it’s worked to a degree. I would like to see you totally be surprised in the future at what you can achieve. If you push yourself sometimes we think we can’t but then we will do something special.”
Emma Bunton (scored 3): “ I’m quite surprised because I always thought you would be one of the most competitive and really push yourself. But I think through this competition you’re definitely more elegant, your skating is much smoother but it’s a little bit like déjà vu for me, with a different outfit each week. You need to put more into it and if you’re still here next week I would strongly suggest you listen to Jayne and Chris next week.”
Actress Danniella Westbrook and skating partner Matthew Gonzalez skated to You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me (Dusty Springfield ) and scored 24 out of 30. She said: “I think I ate too many roast potatoes because he couldn’t get me off the ground!” Phillip then asked if she had any worries about the float spin and she replied “I never worry about anything Chris and Jayne give us to do, I’d know they’d never let me down.”
Angela Rippon (scored 5): “I absolutely loved it because you told a story with real drama and passion. Your transitions were wonderfully smooth, you remained graceful and smooth throughout. Those lifts were amazing. Great dancing technique as well as good skating.”
Nicky Slater (scored 4.5) “A lot of the skating is good because you are covering the ice well. When you cross over make sure your feet do cross over. But overall it was super. I did take off point five because you couldn’t get off the ground at the end.”
Jason Gardiner (scored 5) “What most impresses me about you was your attitude, it’s exactly what we are looking for in contestants to go all the way. You will give everything a go; that was a fully committed performance, even if at time slightly psychotic. The lifts were fantastic, you were committed all the way through. It would have been a 5.5 from me it was that good. “
Next up was actor Danny Young and skating partner Frankie Poultney skated to Sherry (The four Seasons) and scored 17 out of 30. Having scored 17 again Danny said: “We haven’t gone down so that’s always good. It was good I’m still really, really enjoying it.”
Emma Bunton (scored 4) “ I thought you were strong, I love the fact you take constructive criticism, you take them on board you go away and really work on those things. That is why I think you can do well in this competition. The last couple of weeks I’ve kind of been missing that cheeky chappy but I think he’s coming back.”
Nicky Slater (scored 2.5): “I so hate giving this low a mark. I’ve given it because it’s really not that good for me, the elements are separated, its very slow you’re not skating out. He really needs to take the breaks off and stop it being so contained.”
Danny replied: “Nicky’s a skating judge he’s been there and done it all before so he knows what he’s talking about. If we’re here next week we’re crack on and work hard.”
Actress Hayley Tamaddon and partner Daniel Whiston skated to Get Happy (Ella Fitzgerald) scoring 26 out of 30, She said: “I’m feeling the pressure if I’m honest, week to week. The competition is really tough and to come top you feel like you’ve got to raise the bar each week.”
Jason Gardiner (scored 4.5): “(asked why he marked Danniella’s performance higher than Hayley) “For a start Danniella didn’t mess up, Hayley did. Danniella also gave a very solid performance all the way through, it was completely different but it was just as good. Unfortunately yours would have been up there but you messed up the shadow step sequence and I have to mark down for that. I love you Hayley, I love your attitude, your work ethic. But I do rate you and I do score you harder because I know we can get more out of you.”
Karen Barber (scored 5) “Mistakes can happen in a heart beat. You’re very well matched, the lines are perfect.”
Next up was actress Emily Atack and skating partner Fred Palascak skated to
Bad Boys (Alexandra Burke) and scored 17.5 out of 30 her highest score of the series so far. She said: I was so star struck (to meet Alexandra Burke). She gave me the best advice.”
Karen Barber (scored 3.5): “It was your best routine, you really bought attitude to the ice. Well done for the ‘table top’ lift, it took a lot of courage to do that. You’re still improving, we’re getting there slowly.”
Angela Rippon (scored 4): “ I thought it was a very impressive performance, like everyone else I was really impressed by those lifts. Although you were dancing to ‘Bad Boys’ you were actually quite a good girl and I would have liked to have seen you being more sexy, more raunchy. You’ve got it girl, go and sell it!”
Jason Gardiner (scored 3): “I watched something completely different. I didn’t feel there was enough raunch, I didn’t feel there was enough flirting going on. Your unique move at the top looked like you were rolling off a log, it was it was the ugliest things I’ve ever seen. Your skating is the same, it’s the same safe uneventful lifts and your dancing hasn’t really progressed in my opinion.”
Actor Gary Lucy and partner Maria Filippov were next and skated to What About Now (Daughtry) scoring 22.5 out of 30 his highest score of the series so far. He said: “I’m just trying, Jason said he wanted to see more performance. It was great, it was really good fun, I really enjoyed it.”
Emma Bunton (scored 4.5) “It was smooth, strong I love the way you throw Maria around with ease. You told a story tonight and I got it. Gary , I thought you were actually quite sexy tonight. Even in the green I liked it, a really great performance and smooth skating”
Nicky Slater (scored 5): “What got me in this performance was that you are attacking your skating and you are really going for those lifts. It’s not consistent yet but you’re skating out and that’s a risk because it can go horribly wrong but that’s what I love and admire. It’s stepping up week by week for me.”
Boyzone’s Mikey Graham and partner Melanie Lambert skated to Ring Of Fire (Johnny Cash) scoring 18.5 out of 30. Phillip asked if it was helpful being given a character to play on the ice and Mikey replied: “It keeps your mind off the intensity of being on the ice, you kind of drift away as the character.”
Anglea Rippon (scored 3.5): “I’d have liked to have given you more Mikey, I think you’ve taken to skating like a duck to water but there wasn’t a lot of yee-ha for me. I thought your dancing was a bit lacklustre and under performed. I’d have liked to have seen even more of the character of the cowboy coming out.”
Karen Barber (scored 4): “Well I saw the yee-ha and for me it was a fun routine that really showed your personality. We’re almost back to where we were a few weeks ago. Let try and up the game a little bit.”
Jason Gardiner (scored 4): “What I love about Mikey is you don’t mind being a little idiotic out there. You don’t take yourself so seriously you get out there and have fun and it’s uninhibited. There are still things that are annoying in the sense that some simple steps trip you up because you lose focus. I still see the thought process catching you up sometimes. I disagree, I thought you had a great yee-ha out there, it was good fun.”
Sharron Davies was the seventh celebrity to leave the competition. Sharron and Emily Atack found themselves in the bottom two with the lowest combined scores from the judges and the public vote. All the judges voted to save Emily. On hearing the news Sharron said “I have enjoyed my time, first and foremost just had the best partner I could ever wish for he’s been fantastic. The atmosphere behind stage is fantastic, thank you very much for the experience, I won’t be hanging up my skates.”
