Huge congrats to Dan Whiston who will be performing his legendary 'Silks' routine on the Royal Variety Perfomance

Not something I normally watch but I will make an exception for Dan!

As long as it gets done properly or it could look absolutley awful, they have tried something similar before with skaters on a tiny piece of plastic ice it was totally awful to watch even the skaters involved werent that happy with it. Personally not looking forward to this!

Interestingly it doesn't actually say he's ICE skating in the press release - maybe he's on roller blades or something, and you won't have to sit there all embarrassed for him...

Hes doing his arial silks routine this normally involve ice! As far as Im aware Dan doesnt roller blade.
I was embarassed for the skaters last time round as I know them both and know how briliant they are and to give them a tiny piece of plastic to try and "skate" on was an insult to them and the viewing public.
I also know Dan is a perfectionist and wont be happy if what he does isnt his usual standard.

It could be pre recorded at an Ice Rink!

That I did consider as I remember way back they done this with Torvill and Dean who were filmed while in Australia and they done a live link with them.

The show is from the London Palladium and I can't see how someone skating on stage would work....even on artificial ice, surely not all the Audience would be able to see, it would make more sense if it was recorded.....Tracey can you ask Dan how it's going to work?

Last time the done this with 2 skaters and it was on the stage and the plastic ice was so tiny it was just never gonna work well and looked silly which is why I hope they dont go down this route this time as its such a lovely routine and it would totally ruin it.

I have asked Dan on his Facebook page but it was after he'd been on last night so not sure if I'll get a reply or not, knowing him all he'll say is you'll need to watch to find out!!

I'm sure Dan will be well impressed that you're speaking on his behalf

Makes a change from his "girlfriend" answering on his behalf I believe Hayley's answered for Daniel on plenty of occassions from what I've read and been told.

of course he could be to the silks without Ice - as done for the Bare festival in the West end last month by a friend of his

Maybe i'm missing something but I never got the whole Haley loves Dan stuff, they have been friends for years and get on well and made a fantastic pair, for me they made last years DOI worth watching!

My information is based on fact.

Well as tilly07 says don't believe everything you read or hear, Yes Daniel and Hayley knew each other but were never actually best friends and that came from a proper friend of Daniel's who has known Daniel for a good number of years and was there when Hayley was sniffing around the ice rink all those years ago.

Thought this thread was about Dan??

The press article did say that Dan would be performing his magical skating and flying routine so dont think he'll be performing the routine just with the silks.
