Thought that spin looked fabulous on Sunday night. Did overshadow Mikey a little, but still beautiful

I agree. I watched it over and over. How do they do that? Amazing.

It was lovely - she's a brilliant skater though and sadly the pro's are never really able to show their talents off properly.

Also it was the highlight of Mikey's routine which doesn't actually seem to be the point of the show.

It was a really cool layback, I was upset that it wasn't shown in the "highlights" before Mikey got his score.

Not really sure it did Mikey any favours...

But who cares, it was amazing to watch!

It really was amazing. I was pleased in a way that they were in the skate off just so I could see it again.

Was a little annoyed yesterday watching This Morning. Either Phil or Holly said something like "the spin was brilliant" and I thought they were talking to Mel at that point, but nope, they were talking about Mikey's second spin. They never mentioned her spin once.

I could watch the pros all day. I think DOI should so a special show just with the pros.

It was lovely to watch - but shouldn't the choreography show off the zeleb to their best advantage.

Much as I enjoyed watching Mel the spin exposed the huge gulf between pro and zeleb.

That's what I thought - it was fabulous to watch, but Mikey was just stood to the side

It was AWESOME! I too watched it back like a million times.

I know it was supposed to be Mikey spinning...but I didn't care I mainly watch the show for the pro's anyway!

Mel's an incredible skaters, I wish we got to see more of the pro's doing their thing.

Seriously though, it was incredible.
