ICEY START FOR DANCING FAVOURITE LUCY AS DAVRO VOTED OUT!

The Bill actor, and 2-1 pre-show favourite Gary Lucy, had to endure a skate off with outsider Bobby Davro before advancing through to another week in the latest series of Dancing on Ice, and Coral bookmakers have pushed his price to 5-1 to win outright, and now make Coronation Street star Hayley Tamaddon the new favourite at 2-1.

Lucy was top on the judges scorecard, but after the phone lines closed, it was he and lowest scorer Davro that were forced to compete again for a place in next week’s show..

“As has proved in the past, it’s the viewers, not the judges that need impressing, so despite being the highest scorer, you still need public votes,” said Coral spokesman Gary Burton.

Bobby Davro was the 7-4 favourite to be voted off first, and proved a poor result for the bookies!

Another girl to leave Celeb BB tonight!!!

The dust has only just settled after the excitement of Friday night's double eviction, but tonight yet another housemate will exit the Celebrity Big Brother house. In the firing line tonight are Lady Sovereign (again) and ditzy Nicola T, both of whom have managed to enrage their fellow housemates somewhere along the line. Vinnie Jones has branded Sovs "one of the most selfish birds I've ever met" this weekend, after she unashamedly begged fag after fag from Basshunter.

Ronnie still loves Katia!

Katia Ivanova has revealed that her ex Ronnie Wood got in touch within hours of her leaving the Celebrity Big Brother house.

"Ronnie told me he thought I was great. He said he's been staying watching me in the house all hours," she told the Daily Star.

"He said he was really proud of me for being myself and that he really misses me. There's still a strong connection there, but that chapter is over."

The 21-year-old also confessed her feelings for Jonas Altberg, and said their brief romance in the house was more than just a fling.

"I really do fancy Jonas and want him; I watched him saying he was falling in love with me and it was so sweet, I just wanted to go back in - I think he's the one," she told the newspaper.

Katia - who said he was too "clingy" and too "clean-cut" - revealed they "struggled" with their feelings, and added: "I knew I was starting to fall for Jonas."

UKIP calls for burka ban!

The burka and other face-covering veils worn by Muslim women should be banned, the UK Independence Party says.

Ex-UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who leads UKIP's 13 MEPs in Brussels, told the BBC's Politics Show they were a symbol of an "increasingly divided Britain". He also said they "oppressed" women and were a potential security threat.

But Schools Secretary Ed Balls said it was "not British" to tell people what to wear in the street, and accused UKIP of indulging in "unpleasant politics".

Gordon Brown now claims to be a champion of the middle classes!

There's been nothing like it since the wolf dressed up as grandma in order to turn Little Red Riding Hood into pot-roast.

Gordon Brown now claims to be a champion of the middle classes. Apparently, only he can be trusted to look after their interests. And there were millions of us thinking that he was, in fact, the unreconstructed arch-enemy of the middle classes and of everything they hold dear.

For sheer unadulterated brazen gall, his pretence surely takes the latest of many mouldy digestive biscuits. Of course, we can all see the reason for this play-acting. After the recent failed coup against Brown, Lord Mandelson won his strategic battle to fight the election campaign on New Labour's territory of aspiration rather than as another front in Old Labour's failed class war.

In the circumstances, Brown had no alternative but to agree. Yet this is the man whose entire political persona rests upon constraining, punishing and extorting from the middle classes.

Heather Mills has her skating leg... Off!

She's already tried her hand at ballroom dancing across the pond, and now Heather Mills is putting her best foot forward by stepping on to the ice for a spot of skating.

Heather, who turns 42 this week, was spotted carrying her false limb as she headed into rehearsals for the show - however, she admitted that the leg has held her back.
She said: 'its ankle doesn't band and I fall 50 per cent of the time.'

Judge Nicky Slater has already expressed his concern as to whether Heather will be able to perform well after seeing her in rehearsals.

He said: 'Choreography should work to hide disability, and one-legged skating IS possible, but here it's how the other leg reacts that affects aesthetics. A challenge.'
