Skating With The Stars
From November 22, ABC will be airing a new show called Skating With The Stars. Does Anybody know if it will be aired in the UK?
Thanks |

According to this its being made by BBC Worldwide so stands a chance of being shown in the UK.

I just heard about this... obviously with only 6 contestants ABC are hedging their bets on it working but I hope it works!

Sean Young and Vincent Neil. That's car crash TV in the making. Definitely going to watch this.
Pity that it's very unlikely Tom Bergeron is going to present it. |

Sounds good! I wonder who the pros will be? Interesting that article says "...will receive a set of scores based on artistry and technique...", so I wonder if that means two scores that will be combined or just one score that covers both like on DOI. The best thing about DOI is the scores are in 0.5 increments - I wish SCD or DWTS had that!

I posted in the DOI frum earlier that Fred Palascak is one of the pros. That's great for this show but does mean sadly that he & Mel are not coming back for Dancing on Ice.
![]() Someone has posted the list in the ABC forum. The pros are not big names, although some of the guest judges are like Evan Lysacek, Kristi Yamaguchi & Johnny Weir. |

It is funny that Fred is skating without Mel. It is like Darren without Lilia ![]() hope it is shown here but it is not the same as seeing Fred & Mel on DOI & it means no Fred & Mel on the tour next year

I hope this will be on Watch or somewhere, i'm sure it'll be on the ABC website if not though.
Looking forward to seeing Fred on it, it will be a shame for DOI to lose him but tbh, i'm getting rather bored with DOI, i watch it mostly out of routine! |

I only know one of the "Stars" - Sean Young & she'll prob be out quickly cos she's getting on a bit & the older ones (over 40) hardly ever win DOI
.She's a similar age to Jennifer Grey, so hopefully she's as fit & talented! |

Here is a little more info about SWTS from tv grapevine.
Skating With The Stars The Pairings Skating With The Stars is the newest competition show on ABC. Similar to Dancing With The Stars, celebrities are paired with professional skaters to learn how to perform ice dancing and figure skating routines. Each week, a couple will be voted off until one winner is left standing. The first results will be revealed the week after the two hour series premiere, which will air November 22nd at 9pm, immediately following Dancing With The Stars. This season will feature Real Housewife Bethanny Frankel, Sonny With A Chance Star Brandon Mychal Smith, Olympic skier Jonny Moseley, All My Children's Rebecca Budig, legendary actress Sean Young and Motley Crue rocker Vince Neil. ABC has just released the pairings, as well as the hosts and commentator for the show. The Pairings: Bethenny Frankel & Ethan Burgess Brandon Mychal Smith & Keauna McLaughlin Jonny Moseley & Brooke Castile, Rebecca Budig & Fred Palascak Sean Young & Denis Petukhov Vince Neil & Jennifer Wester Vernon Kay, who has previously hosted T4 and Top Off The Pops Plus, as well as Celebrities Under Pressure and FBI will host the show, while ice dancing legend Tanith Belbin will serve as a commentator. There is no word yet on who will be judging, but TV Grapevine will report it as soon as it is announced. |

I simply can't see that myself. No-one will be able to understand a word he says! I find it hard enough and I'm English!!

Vernon Kay has presented on US tv quite a few times before. He presented Hit me baby one more time for NBC and I think he also had a gameshow on ABC previously.

Sounds as if it will be a good show - the US don't spare expense, so can expect - hopefully - some first rate skating demos as well.
As for Vernon - please don't hit me, but I actually quite like him!!!! |

Vernon Kay? Really?! Come on, Why?! No!
(Can you tell i'm not keen on the idea? )It's not that i've got anything specific against him but it just seems like an odd choice. |

I don't understand the fuss about his accent. I had no trouble. I love Rebecca.

If that was her performance for week 1, what will she be like by the final (presuming she gets there of course). I loved the way she started on her own. |
