Sunderland v Middlesbrough

anyone starting an opening night fred?

Andy A was on very early this morning.Tipped Andy W as a dark horse.Karen Barber was on later,but nothing of note said.

and he raved about him again on TM.

And he came across really well, although was pretty astounded about getting the boot.  Everyone totally shocked that he was out.

Think Schofe, Kerry and Brazier were also very enthusiastic and commented on Robin's remarks about his potential.


Other stuff from TM - Laila carrying a very bad shoulder injury, has done for some time, can hardly stand her partner touching her and will only be able to do the most basic of routines, but she doesn't want to drop out before performing.

Jen doing really well on LW.  However, it does sound like Dan is carrying a very bad hamstring injury.

Also quite a bit of talk about Jorgie's ballet training on TM, hence her arm and hand placements, etc.  They did comment about her lack of actual skating on the ice though, Brazier seemed particularly miffed (altho he seems like a right bloody know all about skating these days).  Also commented that things only really clicked with her and her astonishing improvement came about over the past few weeks.

Even mentioned the J word with AW already    Even these things aren't left to chance anymore

Would anyone touch these Jorgie prices?  Looked very elegant granted, but barely touched the ice. Didn't look so hot when she did

JP far too short imo.Would expect her price to drift after next Sunday's show.

Yep, they did an Attwater vt on Matt. Just showed him falling over, plus saying he wanted to win.

I doubt he'll be above 4 once he skates.

I leave people to make their own minds up, but most of the time it looks obvious to me.

To us shrewdies squares.

Some need help ;)  Not that anyone listens to any of us on here

I would like more of your help too sq  lol

GB

plus, hard to be enthusiastic about trawling through all the variety of markets when you can't get on anywhere tho.

True enough. If there's a opportunity usually everyone is onto it like a flash these days. That said, I'm doing about the same as ever

365 have male and female the wrong way around
11/10 female did look good at coral ln.

The way wolfenden was vt'd and flying about it would be a big shock if he isn't brilliant.

Jorgie is going to have to show some skating skill, required elements blah blah. Far from solid in the personality dpt. She is overcooked in the market.

Corey sounds like a total kn0b.  Can't see T&D being impressed either.



Dancing On Ice star Corey Feldman has reportedly fallen out with his professional skating partner Brooke Castile, with the pair having a string of “blazing bust ups”.

According to The Sun, the Hollywood child star demanded that he should call the shots on their routines.

“Corey and Brooke are not seeing eye to eye at all,” a source told the tabloid. “He is convinced he knows a thing or two about ice performance even though he has admitted he is basically an amateur.”

The insider added: “He’s been suggesting things for them to do and ways that he thinks they can stand out from the crowd. She’s at her wits’ end and is convinced they’ll be given the push.

“He got a reality check when he saw how close the other couples were and realised he needed to make amends. “Corey got her a big bunch of flowers as a gesture to say sorry and pleaded with her to forgive him.

“But it could be too little too late.”

Jen and Dan stuff in the DM


The star was later seen with Dan at a supermarket, with the professional dancer having to lean on her for support as he hobbled along.

He appeared to have a bandage around his right leg.

When asked about Dan, Jennifer revealed: ''We've had the week from hell. Honestly, people don't know but he's torn his hamstring. So last week it was like "Are we even going to be able to compete?"... We were supposed to be skating last night, we were supposed to be in the first show.'

When asked if he would be alright, she answered: 'Well, fingers crossed. We've got an amazing, amazing physio, Sharon, she is just our lifeline. Seriously... We've had so many injuries already. People just don't realise how hard it is.'

She later tweeted: 'For all those asking if Dan can't skate on sun then I won't be. So I'm afraid I may be hanging up my boots before its even begun x.'

there is actually someone more deluded than Andrew Stone

Corey Feldman is so worried about being mobbed by female fans when he makes his Dancing On Ice debut this weekend, that he has reportedly hired a new beefy bodyguard to keep them at bay.

The former Lost Boys actor is said to be terrified that some randy ladies will break into his dressing room at Elstree studios and so has hired Madonna’s former minder to watch over him and his private area, when he performs on the ITV show.

The Daily Star claims that ‘Dre’ stays with Corey at all times and even keeps a close eye on the star when he rehearsing on the ice rink, in case he is unexpectedly approached by any crazed fans.

An insider said: “Dre follows Corey everywhere. He’s become quite a fixture backstage. Everyone loves him.

“Though we’re not quite sure why he’s needed. Corey may have starred in loads of films but he could probably walk round Elstree and no-one would realise who he is.”

The whole thing sounds like paranoia to us and considering Feldman’s past relationship with drugs and alcohol, this isn’t in the slightest bit surprising.

Bit of a move for Jen recently

from UNRTV

Insiders have claimed that there is dissent amongst this year’s Dancing On Ice contestants.

Jennifer Ellison was supposed to perform on last Sunday’s first show of the series, but when her partner Dan Whiston injured his hamstring, she was given an extra week to rehearse and Jorgie Porter was asked to step into her spot with only 48 hours notice.

The decision made by ITV bosses was said to have upset Heidi Range, whose partner Sylvain Longchambon injured his arm last month, leaving her with a new pro, Andrei Lipanov.

It has been claimed that the Sugababes star asked for an extra week to prepare and was turned down, as a result she ended up in the bottom two on Sunday night and only narrowly avoided elimination.

It has been reported that producers are desperate that Jennifer and Dan make a good impression and want to keep them on the series for as long as possible.

One insider told The Mirror:

“Jennifer has a big following. Bosses believe she will be a major draw and seem determined to do all they can to keep her in.”

“Jennifer is very much ITV’s golden girl and it’s not sitting well with everyone else.”

Ellison admitted that she would not be taking to the ice with any professional but Dan and revealed that she considered quitting the show when he got hurt.

She tweeted:

“For all those asking, if Dan can’t skate on sun then I won’t be. So I’m afraid I may be hanging up my boots before its even begun x [sic]”

However the pair are set to perform this Sunday, along with Corey Feldman and Eastenders star Laila Morse.
