I wasn't impressed by Props Week this year - the props were completely new and different from previous years and were mostly silly gimmicks which had nothing to do with skating skill. A lot of them were used with the skaters standing still, which is pointless. The whole thing looked like "It's A Knockout On Ice" (if anyone remembers that ghastly show). I liked Jorgie and her streamer the best - it had to be manipulated right throughout her performance and she did it brilliantly.

I preferred the old props, especially the table and chair which had to be moved around the ice, and the umbrella which must be the clumsiest object ever invented and was a huge problem to control.

I agree prop week has alway's been my favourite but last night I hated it. I really wanted Sam's dodgy hat to return.

We will have to wait and see if ITV bring any more decent props in next year.

Oh no. I think you'll find the streamer was simple pimple....and boring

She managed to keep that twirling all through the act whereas others picked up and dropped them....Louis you are stoopid!
