After a close round last week, our latest casualty was Tom (hownwbrowncow) & Frankie, who bowed out of the competition Now, only 6 couples remain as we enter the latter stages ahead of the final next week.

Today the couples will take on “Dancing On Ice Favourites”

Each couple were expected to select a past contestants Dancing On Ice performance from any previous series including the current all-stars season. For this, they had to keep the song choice the celebrity skated to, but instead change the outfits and improve them whilst still keeping them in with the theme of the routine and the song choice

Tonight’s twist means that, for the first time, the judges leader board will count towards the public vote.

Opening todays please give it up for Mitch (pothuthic) & Maria Filipov …………………

Routine: I'm So Excited (formerly by Laura Hamilton and Colin Ratushniak).

Outfits: I think the outfits are very good and fit the routine, but I wish to make a few changes.

I wish to change the colour of the outfits from pink to red as I feel this is a more bright colour and fits more with the vibe that the dance gives off.

The dress that Laura is wearing will be extended by an inch at the bottom as I feel it is too low for my partner, there will also be more sequins around the whole costume as I feel it is plain and not 'exciting' as the song suggests.

On my trousers there will be blue thin lines going down it to give the trousers less of a plain and boring feel.

My partners hair will be styled just like Laura's, except will have a blue and red thick hairband in them to add to the colours of the routine

Connor: 4.0
Dean: 4.0
Izzie: 2.5
Jas’: 2.5
Nick: 3.5


Dean: I enjoyed it. Ilove the extra sequins, helps add to the song. I think the red wasn't the greatest of colour choice to change it too, but on the whole I like the fact you didn't change stylistically the outfits too much as I agree, it suits it really well

That’s a total of 16.5

Our next couple to take to the ice is Rhian (RhiBi) & Daniel Whiston …………

Routine: 'Since You've Been Gone' - Kelly Clarkson (Formerly by Clare and Andrei)

Female Outfit: The female skater would wear a a beautiful pale blue dress as the colour blue depicts freedom which I think is the message that the song conveys. The dress would be of a very light soft fabric and would have long sleeves with a V neck in both the front an back of the dress. The dress would be encrusted with white crystals and would especially align the V neckline. The skirt of the dress would be longer than the usual length and would be quite gathered to give the effect of it flying behind her as she skates. Her tights would be of a skin colour and her boots would be the same blue as the dress. Her hair would be long and flowing but would have a slightly disheveled look to tie in with the slight rock theme to the song.

Male Outfit: The male partner would have the same pale blue top, tucked into black trousers. His top would have the V neck in the front only, and would have short sleeve to midway between the shoulder and elbow. His top would also have white crystals aligning the neckline. His black trousers would be a straight leg and finishing of with black skates.

Izzie: ‘I thought the effect you tried to convey through your outfits was really good, and overall it worked well. You did lose a few marks though because I just didn’t think the really added enough to the routine to warrant the change of costumes. However, the descriptive skills and reasoning were spot on.’

So that gives them a total of 18.5. Their best yet

Next to face the judges with their routine, please welcome onto the ice, JJ (justj) & Katie Stainsby …………

Routine: 'Jai Ho' (Formerly by Hayley and Daniel)

Female Outfit: The female is wearing a dress, which goes down to the bottom of the knees. The dress is a golden colour. The dress is a Bollywood type of dress. To fit the theme of the routine. The dress starts with a sequin v line underneath the breast line. Below that there is three straight lines of diamonds. The skates are a a simple golden colour.

Male Outfit: The male is wearing a Gold Shirt Collar Tunic And Purple Trousers. The tunic will go down to just below the knee. The purple trousers will be quite a tight trouser. I have chosen the gold tunic to fit the bollywood theme. I felt black trousers would be to boring so I've added some colour into the outfit. The skates will a gold and purple stripes,

Jas’: I feel that you only redesigned the costume shape for the female and kept the colours, I'd rather you would've changed the colours. And the only thing changed on the males was the colour of the trousers and the shirt into a tunic. I think you should've done more with the colours than redesigning the shape of the costumes

That gives them a total of 15.5

Jas’: Not sending what is required is not going to be ignored easily, and I find that if there is nothing to judge on, then I will give it the lowest mark possible.

That gives them 2.5. The lowest score of the series

Next to face the judges with their performance is Jamie (DingDong08) & Nina Ulanova …………

Routine: Get Happy by Ella Fitzgerald (Formerly by Hayley and Daniel).

Male Outfit: The male is wearing a long-sleeved gold shirt, which is tucked into a pair of plain black trousers. These trousers are decorated with several small gold sequins, patterned in the shape of musical notes as a nod to the jazzy, old-school feel of the routine. He is also wearing a bow-tie, which has black-and-gold stripes in a vertical pattern to match the rest of the outfit, and a pinstripe waistcoat over the top of the shirt, coloured gold. On the back of the waistcoat are some more musical notes - however, they are made from black sequins this time, to provide some contrast throughout the outfit. His skates have been designed as two-tone shoes, black and gold, to allude to the formal, classical vibe of the routine, while his hair is partially slicked back so as to again show that the routine is formal but not to an extent that the characters cannot have fun.

Female Outfit: The female is wearing a gold, Charleston-esque dress to match the feel of the male's outfit. The bodice of the dress is a plain gold, except for some randomly-placed black sequins dotted around, again for contrast. The dress has two fringed straps, which are made from black and gold fringing mixed together, while the dress has a high-cut neckline and matching back, to accompany the formal atmosphere. The skirt part of the dress is made entirely from black-and-gold fringing weaved together. The fringing is designed in a diamond shape on both the front and back sides - the middle section travels down to just underneath the legs, whereas the outer sections travel down to the middle of the thighs. The skates have, like the male's, been designed to look like dancing shoes, and are two-tone (black and gold) with a gold bow on the ends, while her hair is tied up in a pigtail, held in place by a black-and-gold fringed band.

Connor: This was an excellent routine and I loved the changes you made to the costume for the piece. It was fitting, smart, showtastic and really sold the piece to me compared to the previous costume this routine had assigned. I wasn’t expecting any one to pick this song and routine but you put your own stamp on it and I applaud you and your effort shows itself.

That leaves them with a total of 25.0. The highest score of the series and………… the first 6 of the series thanks to Nick

And now closing the show tonight, please welcome onto the ice, Niall (_NiallDEE_) & Brianne Delcourt ………………

Routine: 'Upside Down' - Paloma Faith (Formerly by Laura and Colin)

Outfits: The outfits will reflect the quirky, vintage, almost 20s style of the song and will therefore be based around a silent movie/mime artist style. Instead of being black and white they will include colour however, to reflect the modern influences of the song. The colour scheme for the female outfit will be red. She will be wearing a typical mime artist red and white striped shirt, as well as a short red skirt. The skirt will be loose fitting to enable her to perform lifts and get into some of the harder positions required for the routine. She will also be wearing typical mime artist face paint, similar to this but using red in place of the black. Her hair will be tightly tied up on her head in a bun. The colour scheme for the male outfit will be blue. He will be wearing a typical mime artist striped t shirt with blue in place of the black. He will also be wearing blue trousers, with blue trouser braces attached to them. Similarly to the female he will be wearing traditional mime artist makeup with blue replacing the red. He will also be wearing a bowler hat on his hear, this will be relatively tight fitting and stable to assure it does not fall off during the faster bits of the routine.

Nick: This was basically a perfect outfit. It has the reasoning, it had the detail and it had had the colours and mood but lacked the "wow". Add some "wow" to that and you've got a six from me!

An amazing set of scores give them their highest score yet of 23.5

Great show Ash.

I thought this was probably the strongest set of costumes all series. I only marked a few down because I couldn't quite see what the changes added to the routine. Well done though.

Really sorry for the lack of choice... I promise that if I get sent through (unlikely as it is), I'll come back stronger than ever. However, I completely understand that not sending in the right stuff is unacceptable, so understand that I deserve to be eliminated this round.
