Tend to agree. She's too 'close' to the whole thing. It's a bit like Jayne or Chris judging.
However, I didn't think that was allowed in ice skating competitions, and certainly in something like DOI I think someone should either be a judge or a coach, but not both. I can't see the point of 5 judges anyway, when only 2 usually get to speak.... 3 would be enough Robin, Nicky and Jason, and let them all talk to each contestant. |

Chicken or egg question. Was she a judge before they asked her to be a coach?
Anyway, I thought once Jayne and Chris had given the contestants their routines, they practised them at rinks in their own home town. Presumably if Karen is a coach, she is based in London and favours the London contestants, or are you saying she travels round the country too? |

He pre-judges all the contestants and marks them on that rather than what they actually do on the night! |

There is also another coach who works with the couples based in London, Mark Naylor. Karen's husband trains the northern based skaters like Kieron & Hayley. |
