Not sure if anyone else is interested but I think we've had a thread for this in the past.
Somewhat eclectic bunch of participants again ... and I don't know half of them!
The celebs taking part include Dallas icon Charlene Tilton, Hollywood actor Corey Feldman, Sugababe Heidi Range, singer Chesney Hawkes and Eastenders actress Laila Morse.
Joining them are diet and fitness guru Rosemary Conley, children’s TV presenter Sam Nixon, actress Jennifer Ellison, TV presenter Andy Akinwolere, Emmerdale actor Matthew Wolfenden and sexy Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter.
Also on the show this year is founder of freerunning Sébastien Foucan, Britain’s top female skier Chemmy Alcott, and children TV presenter Mark Rhodes, with Coronation Street star Andy Whyment completing the line up.

Me! Love Dancing On Ice. Thanks for the info. Can't wait!!!
I enjoy it too but I'm afraid I don't recognise a single name except for Rosemary Conley - must be an age thing!

I read that Chesney is out injured and Chico from X-Factor has taken his place.

Yes I think that's true. I know most of them actually and will be supporting Jennifer Ellison and Heidi Range - of course!!!
I've heard of about 5 of them. I remember Jennifer Ellison, think she won celebrity Master Chef.

Yep broke something.
I usually watch it but Im getting sick of these type of programmes now they are all too close together, xfactor, strictly, next it will be Britains Got Talent its just too much!
Saying that I love watching Torvill and Dean they still have it - they are awesome still after all these years. I saw them at Wembley Arena many years ago and it a true honour watching them skate together.

I only speak the truth!!!
Such a pity Chesney is injured! Would have been fun to have watched him! My brother has watched a few shows where Sam and Marl have presented. They are a duo like Ant and Dec ish so will be weird to see them compete against each other!
Matthew Wolfenden is supposed to be pretty decent but will wait and see. Like a lot of the pros. They are so nice on twitter too! The reason I love this show so much is because I love ice skating, Torvill and Dean and think the pros are awesome! Is great to see how the celebs progress and the gems that come out from it. One of my fave reality shows :)

On the other hand it could mean you watch too much television! :lol:
I've heard of two of them: Charlene Tilton and Rosemary Conley.

Chesney Hawkes - son of Chip Hawkes of Tremeloes fame? He had a hit with "You are the one and only" - thought he was quite dishy. Shame he won't be on or I might have taken a peep, although he's probably ageing by now.

Don't know half of them either! I did watch it a bit when Rusedski was it, but other than that haven't bothered much with it. On that note seen an old "celebrity Millionaire" the other night and Greg and Lucy were on that!

She was an amazing Figure Skater - so graceful. She seems really confident on the judging panel and seems to have a good sense of humour!

He is a dance choreographer form the Pineapple Dance Studios.
Gutted! Andy should never have left this early. He was good and had so much potential. So sad :( How mark stayed in as lovely a guy as he is is beyond me!

How is Rosemary still in??? Probably all her fitness and diet members voting!!:confused::rolleyes:
How did Corey stay in? Must be all the Goonies fans!
supergran
23-01-2012, 01:09
Yes, don't know how he stayed either. I like him as I keep seeing in my mind the boy he played in "Stand By Me" one of my all-time favourite films.

23-01-2012, 01:19
Oh, I love Stand By Me - brilliant film - all of the then-young actors were wonderful in that, including the late great River Phoenix!
I've never been interested in Dancing On Ice, but if Corey Feldman is in it, I might have to give it a go...!
I felt bad for Corey today. He was skating to Stand By Me and said it made him sad because it made him think of the late River Phoenix :(
Pre-warning Fiona... Corey's not very good. Don't know how long he will last
KnightOwl
23-01-2012, 01:54
Fair enough - to be honest I just want to see what he looks like now - he must be around 40 and I don't think I've seen him in anything since his early 20s.
supergran
24-01-2012, 01:19
He is very slim with a very quirky hair style but you can still see the boy from Stand By Me. He was born in 1971 so you were right about his age.
Not happy that Seb was in the skate off. Gutting in how he went out and so sad to see him cry! No way did Chemmy or Seb deserve to be in the skate off. I had the pleasure of meeting both and in particular had an amazing conversation with Seb who has absolutely fallen in love with ice skating and was really inspiring. Makes me even more gutted he's out. He was a joy to watch and so exciting! :(

Agree that Seb should not have been in the skate-off. So sad for him.
