I had no idea he was coming back to cover for Robin!

I've missed him as his complete randomness. The frostiness between him and Karen and his jealousy of Chris made the early series of DOI compulsive viewing, and at least he knows what he's actually talking about.

Is he doing next week as well?

Yeah I'm sure I read on his blog hes back next week too and hes going on the tour with Karen and Robin

I like Nicky. Hes mental but most of the time I agree with him!

Nicky is mad as a bag of cats but I actually tend to agree with his scores. He rarely overmarks.

It would be nice if when Robin comes back they had 5 judges for the last five with the scores being out of 50.0

Bring him back and sack Ashley please.

This ^^^

Seconded!

Do we know why he and Karen hate each other?

He's annoying me .

who is he?

Loving Mr Nicky....and he marking quite fair also

They were skating partners and unlike Jayne and Chris were a genuine couple and engaged in real life. When T&D retired they were expected to take over where they left off but it never happened and they split.

The animosity on the show always came from Karen though, Nicky always tried with her but as we know she carries a huge grudge... Nicky always seemed very jealous of Chris as well and that's was before he got together with Karen!

He was always great on the spin off show Defrosted.

I never realised they were together. Always felt sorry for them but for torville and dean they would have been up there as they were top 5. Loved their Charlie Chaplin routine

Personally I'd change that to Bring him back and sack Karen please

Unfortunately. He is grading them as professionals. They aren't he is being way too harsh.

Nope, he's marking them fairly. The others are over marking as usual.

I don't think so they aren't professionals. He's stating that he is used to Judging professionals. These people aren't so no he is not marking fairly for me.

He used to be a judge on this programme until ITV sacked him, which was around the time things started to go wrong for DOI.

I know our family has always watched it I used to like him, this time round he seems to be courting notoriety with his scores.

Agree !
he was marking fairly tonight , He knows what he's talking about.
He can be a bit annoying at times with his commentary on Eurosport but he does have an insight into competitive skating.
I've missed him on the panel.

Whether you agree with his marks or not he always explains why he has marked the way he does.

Agreed - I actually think Nicky is a better judge than Robin.
