According to thecustard.tv, (in the listings for the second week of January) the list of contestants is almost the same except for two differences.

Donal McIntyre instead of Dan Hipgrave and Coleen Nolan instead of Jennifer Metcalfe.

This listing seems a bit more reliable as thecustard usually gets their listings from the actual networks and listings sites. However, I have seen reports of people seeing Dan Hipgrave training. The Metcalfe/Nolan change is a bit more understandable as I had heard that Gemma Bissix replaced Jennifer Metcalfe and they probably wanted to bring in another person over 30 to balance out the women

Thank you for the information .

Perhaps Dan Hipgrave is on stand by, along with Angelica Bell?

I'm unaware of who Donal McIntyre is, and to be honest, I'd much rather have Jennifer participating than Coleen, but I really like the both of them, so either way is okay .

Isn't Angelica Bell dating Michael Underwood?

Yes.

I always assumed he was gay for some reason

Is Jessica Taylor still taking part? Im not sure if people know this but she actually won the BBC's Strictly Ice Dancing in 2004. Im expecting good things from her.

Didn't Jessica finish second? David Seaman finished first, didn't he?

Did anyone see it? Coming second to Seaman from the tour DVD suggests he's got worse or he won on the male tcket or the standard of everyone wasn't very good??

According to Wikipedia, he did win.

It was literally just on 'Watch' - I hadn't seen it before. He won, she came second. She scored 34 and he scored 33 but he won overall.
Bit of a car crash in comparison to DOI wasn't it?!
Hello by the way - my very first post on DS ever - nice to 'meet' you all!!
PA xx

Yes, David Seaman won.

Isn't he the Irish undercover guy who joins violent gangs whilst armed with a hidden camera and then exposes them on national TV?
I don't think many of the girls will want to be his partner, there might be disgruntled gang members in the audience, smuggling handguns in to try and shoot him...

Yes it was. Not as slick as DOI and the standard of skating was nowhere near as good.

Hello nice to meet you!
Id never even heard of that show! lol (this however might raise the whole unfair advantage thing!)
That list keeps changing all the time, though it looks interesting, the men are older and the girls are alot younger which is a bit strange. Coleen Nolan would be a laugh.

Welcome, Peppermint .

Thank you for the welcome! It took me hours to get an unused membername, chocolate saves the day again

It was missing T&D - among a lot of other things (like skating ability for the majority lol but then to be fair they had had lots less training!). On the plus side, it was nice to see Dan - though I have never heard him sound quite that competitive before!!

I wish we still had the lovely Steven Mulhearne to help us get to know the celebs backstage, I missed it so much last year

A very unusual username, if you don't mind me saying .

To be honest, I preferred the last season without the Defrosted show.

a backstage show would be nice. Though arent they doing make me a star in full this year? that should have extra performances and back stage bits shoudlnt it?
Adn surely the names patented no? lol

Coleen Nolan FTW!

I'm sorry im tired and this will sound silly but i cant think what ftw means! lol

for the win

aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you!!! lol
It would be hilarious! Shes funny on loose woman so shed be great entertainment value on ice. Also she'd be a bit competitive cos Suzanne and herself are good mates and there was aload of joking about Suzanne winning mum and the year and going on loose women and for a laugh giving coleen a little cup for coming second and coleen saying shed give her a poncy little cup when she goes out of doi and then there was war when Suzanne won. They'd be a whole load of fun if coleen went on. What pro would she with though? Probably fred!!

Colleen would be a hoot , but sadly, I can only see her being partnered with Daniel, and I have a feeling he is partnered with Roxanne Pallett .

LOL I must have tried dozens that made sense but they were all taken The only ones that would work were combinations of my two sons' names and I didn't really want to use that... All the names I use on other forums were gone *sulk*!

And, well - I was eating one at the time lol Could be worse, could have been Ham Sandwich or something

Coleen Nolan to win! I love Coleen shes fabulous, she looks amazing these days as well, and Dancing on Ice will only improve her figuire.

. Does her figure need improving!? She looks fabulous.
