Dancing on Ice: Running Commentary, Week Nine

It's definitely movie week! T&D and the pros out first with a terrifically smooth and sassy Luck Be A Lady Tonight. Couldn't make out one of the guys - looked like Barrymore. The required element: Solo spin, minimum two revolutions. Loving the long dresses - bit dodgy on ice, though, yes?

They told Jason it was Panto night - he's come as Dandini. Oh, nice one Holly!

Dannie and 'Gotta Fly Now', the Rocky theme - he's got to undo the all the goodwork in finishing his lines! Oh yes! Kept the intent all the way, great spin, deserves a vote just for getting his kit off, quite frankly. Score: 22.5 It was one of Jayne's better ideas to have him topless. Jason is now in love.

Mattiella have Summer Nights from Grease and Daniella is already excited! Aw, I was smiling all the way through, she played Sandy perfectly, fantastic lifts, just managed the spin, toe down half way through the second revolution. Score: 19.5 reflects that and the slight mistime exiting the float - but they could have been a bit more positive in the comments, really put a downer on it.

Mikanie dancing to Ronan's When You Say Nothing At All from Notting Hill. This is where they need to do simple well, rather than pushing for difficult, regardless of the lack of training. There you go, gorgeous! Lovely skating, great spin (and a beautiful one from Mel) Score: 19

Garia , bless, he can't do The Twist, and dancing to You Never Can Tell from Pulp Fiction. Ooh, shame about the spin - but a brilliant skate, got the character, loved the deep lunges with jumps. Score: 20.5 There's bickering among the judges: Jason scored 3, Nicky scored 5 - Robin scored a 4.00 and says they're both right. But Jason's being a pratt and won't shut up - you've only yourselves to blame, DOI people, you have only yourselves to blame ...

Kieranne - The Pink Panther - going for fun, and a twenty! Who's the cute bloke with David Seaman? Very good performance (Kieron, not the cute bloke) timing a little out on the steps and didn't nail the spin but another improvement overall, especially in the characterisation. Score: 21. He's a happy bunny. They just showed Cute Guy again, who is he? And who stuck sellotape on Emma's cheek bones? Or is it a make up faux pas a la Nicole Kidman? Answers after the break ...

Hayliel have Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionnaire - why doesn't she stick with just the three spins? Because she knew she could do four! What a performance, WOW. Nailed the spins, timing incredible - sixes across the board and a standation from the panel, had to be really. Score: 30

Hayliel way out in front, but only three and half points cover the other five. Mikey will be safe; I fear for Garia and Mattiella, negative vibes around both compared to the others - and they could have found a highlight for the highlights for Garia rather than showing the spin, could they not? But it's really too close to call. Back later!

Safe: Hayliel; Garia; Dannie ... and: Kieranne! Mattiella and Mikanie in the skate off! Could go either way.

And Daniella nails her spin and final move this time round, fantastic performance, much better! My legs have gone to jelly, dunno 'bout Mikeys' ... he skated well there too and nailed his spin, tough for the judges? Who're they going for? Oops, Mikey nearly went then! One vote each! But Daniella nailed the spin too! Two each - down to Robin - who doesn't go by the spin only - I have to agree, well done Robin. *Phew* for Daniella. Where were the Boyzonemassive - out at a gig I think, unfortunately. Great quip from Mikey - Ronan's best when he says nothing at all! Aw, bye Mikey *mwah*
