Dancing on Ice

Four celebrities were left to do battle on tonight’s nerve tingling live Dancing On Ice semi-final with Kieron Richardson vowing to take partner Brianne Delcourt on holiday to Spain if they crashed out.

However the Hollyoaks bad boy will have to wait a little longer to pack his case as he made it through to next week’s Grand Final. 

Watching Kieron’s every move, with this week’s required element, a solo spot of at least 20 seconds were Ice Panel judges Jason Gardiner, former Spice Girl Emma Bunton, Nicky Slater, Karen Barber, and head judge Robin Cousins.

Kieron narrowly avoided exiting the show last week when he triumphed over Danny Young in the skate-off and vowed to take his partner on holiday if he feel at the final hurdle tonight.
 
But he needn’t have worried as he and former Emmerdale star Hayley Tamaddon made it safely through to the Grand Final tonight at the first time of asking, leaving The Bill star Gary Lucy and EastEnders actress Danniella Westbrook to battle it out for survival, with Gary scraping through 3-2 in the judges favour.

Dancing to Green Day’s Time Of Your Life in a routine that featured alternating hydro glides into a drag; one handed sail lift and one handed death spiral (his most dangerous move yet) “dark horse” Kieron equalled his score last week of 23 leaving him bottom equal with Danniella before the public vote.

Jason wasn’t impressed describing Kieron’s performance as “ugly.” He added: “You were doubled over, it was hunched. It’s your arm movements and presentation that really let you down, and a lot of them were  just gratuitous and pointless. There was no expression in them.

“And actually in the death spiral, you weren’t counter-balancing that and giving a continuous line with Brianne by using your free arm. To me it was anesthetized.”

Karen disagreed telling Kieron: “We have watched you grow not only in strength but in confidence. There was so much in that routine, you did some of the hardest things you’ve done so far. It was one of your best performances.”
