It's not the music that causes injuries, it's the moves. They could have adapted the choreography to take into account her restrictions without changing the song. Sharron just didn't like the song and wanted to stay in her comfort zone of a slow tempo. I sympathise with her restrictions and completely understand any need to rechoreograph in order not to aggravate her injuries but I don't agree with the way she went about it; that was lacking in basic courtesy.

But they didn't which is why she and Pave took matters into their own hands.

Still they're gone now - probably deservedly, but that's from a skating perspective and nothing to do with her decision to protect her injuries from further aggravation.

They did! The modified the routine significantly on the Monday and would have modified it further if she'd asked. They continually tweak and modify routines when necessary, right up until just before the show on occasion.

Phil still thinks Dancing on Ice gets 'huge ratings'. Poor sap.

I was critical of Sharron last night but I have modified my stance somewhat.

I felt right from week 1 that Sharron got a raw deal from her VTs. She was lazily cast as a competitive woman - surely the producers know that viewers (stupidly IMO) hate that. So why hang her out to dry from day 1?

There was clearly a breakdown in communications and Sharron perhaps did not go about things in the right way. However it seems clear to me that Pav supported her throughout and yet I don't see any criticism of him anywhere on the forum for dissing Jayne & Chris.

Producers then gave Sharron an awful VT guaranteed to be a vote loser & for the 1st time in the series didn't ask Jason to comment on her performance.

And whilst Jason is entitled to his views I don't think he should be tweeting bitchy comments about contestants before the results show - very unprofessional. And he called Sharron a diva but the way he stormed off at the end - any diva would have been proud of that hissy fit.

Exactly. It was obvious from last week and her reaction to a "fast song" that it was the tempo she didn't like. The injury would be irrelevant to whether or not she can handle faster footwork. Which she can't.

On the other hand, I did think Phillip milked the interview, and also on his tweets. He's made sure that everyone knows that there has been "frostiness" and is positively drawing attention to the fact Chris and Jayne were snubbed.

I just don't accept that Sharron hadn't watched the show before. What possible excuse is there for that? If she couldn't be @rsed to watch a show starring her "old friends" who she has a lot of respect for, then why did she think it was a good idea to enter?

Even if she'd found herself busy when previous series were on air, she could have got herself some DVDs, or got her agent to ask for footage of previous year's shows. It's one of the biggest shows on tv, she must have known someone who has watched it!

Just out of interest why is there not a similar level of condemnation of Pavel? He was just as involved as Sharon and been on the show long enough to know how it works. And yet it is Sharon that is getting ripped apart on these forums?

Made the same point in my post. I like Pav but it soes seem odd. And it's not like pros never get any criticism. Frankie has copped a lot of flak this series for answering back to the judges.

Maybe because Pavel isn't female?

Completely agree with your post.

Me too !


Feel sorry for Danny as I think Jason will concentrate his bitchiness on him now

Actually I think you might be right. It's fairly clear that he doesn't like him, and Nicky did not help matters either last week (2.5) how ridiculous was that?

Me three!

I think Danny and/or Kieron will come in for Jason's nastiness now - he's already had a pop at them in the papers - unless of course he goes for Emily next.

Does anyone know where i can watch this interview ?? It hasn't been uploaded onto the This Morning website

Here you go me dear!

Thank you so much X

Wonder if he would have been so aggressive interviewing Jason after his rude comments about Sharon.

Haha, indeed! There's a lot of back-scratching that goes on between DOI and TM

Emily's next on his list according to his column.

I read this on another forum and, I have to say, I agree with what was said in this post:


As I've said several times, I completely sympathise with her regarding her shoulder. It would have been horrendous if she'd injured it further and of course the choreography had to be adapted to accommodate her requirements. The problem is that I don't see how the song was the issue - surely it's the actual moves that are problematic, not the tempo? Which makes it even more puzzling that Pavel said that they used most of Chris and Jayne's choreography

I know the producers probably wanted to create a bit of scandal to get people talking but I still feel that for the VT to have been edited to show Sharron in such a negative light, she must have really upset people in the way she went about things during her time on DOI.

They can of course edit the VTs to give a particular slant if they want to, and Sharron's VT this week did have a negative slant (though not outrageously so). This seemed to suggest that they wouldn't be too sorry if she was next to go. Reading between the lines, I wondered if that was because she has been somewhat difficult, and maybe not just this week.

I find this all a bit confusing as in "they changed the music without Chris and Jane's permission". Surely there was more to it than that. I thought C & J were around most of the time - they don't just pop in now and again do they? Or do they? We see them on the VT demonstrating the routines and then what? Do they leave Karen in charge and come back when it's all up together?

Anyway, I couldn't take my eyes of Chris and Jane cos they had faces liked smacked bottoms when Sharon had skated. They could barely force a smile or a comment on her performance.

I guess we'll never know what really went on behind the scenes.

I'm disappointed in Phil cos I like him a lot but I do think he takes it all far to seriously and also in C & J because they could have been a bit more forgiving - if there was anything to forgive really. It was pretty obvious that Sharron was going anyway, given the standard that's now been reached by most of the others.

When you think about it - Jason is really rude and nasty to Sharron but I don't see anyone on the show treating him mean. Sharron changes her music and she's suddenly the villain of the show

Doesn't it make you wonder if there's been more to this than meets the eye?

He couldn't resist the temptation to bring the whole matter up again this morning when interviewing Emma Bunton about the remaining contestants.

Phil has gone down in my estimation, hugely. She certainly was a bit up her own bottom, wasn't she. What would she know about teamplaying? Or is she still miffed, that she didn't make it into the SCD final because of two sports people.
