Does she have an advantage as she can obviously balance and is used to it?

I think its totally unfair and she probably won't get votes because of this. It is a bit like having a professional ice dancer appearing as a contestant on Strictly

Maybe a little, but no more than Matthew's gymnastics or Jorgie's ballet.

I didnt know they had to be beginners at skating to take part? Is this true?

No its not true. Ray & Chris both had played Ice hockey in the past. As long as its not what they do or known for I think its ok. Hence the reason why I dont believe Chemmy should be in it being a Olympic Skiier

But she is a skier, that's not ice dancing surely? And if it doesn't matter if they have skated before then I can't see where any rules have been broken.

That doesn't seem to make sense.

I would.

As far as the OP goes, skating and skiing are two completely different things.

Eh???

Ray and Chris were used to skating on ice, Chemmy is a skier, they do that on snow you know on skis, not blades.

Fail to understand your logic. Sorry!

I dunno. Maybe cold wet stuff, balance, winter olympics etc.

But I agree, skiing dosen't need people to be able to dance or perform to a crowd in an artistic way.

She's a skier not a skater... two entirely different disciplines and totally unrelated. Her skiing won't help her skating at all!

Sean and Jodeyne are brillaint skating together - one of the best pairs they have had on the show ever (even better than Fred and Melanie!)

I hope Cheemy and Sean get safely through to next week!

I really enjoyed Chemmy and Sean's routine. I don't give a flying one whether it's fair or not that she has a good sense of balance - honestly, does that mean you also have to rule out anybody who's ever ridden a bicycle?

Good on her - after such a horrific accident, it's all credit to her that she's risking herself in this show.

Skiing...flat long planks going in one direction....a bit slippy

Skating....thin blades on which you go forwards, backwards, sideways

Not the same thing at all

RAY....ICE SKATES..even more reason why he shouldn't have been in than Chemmy
