Melinda is certainly my favourite this series.

The relationship between her and Fred really shines throughm during the training footage.

I really hope the public get behind her on Sunday.

She just needs that one performance where it all clicks and then she'll go from strength to strength

I agree.

She seems to be up one week and down the next, most likely due to the skate-offs she's been in. Give her some good choreography and a proper song (unlike the Macarena, poor Fred!) and she'll be back where she belongs - near the top of the leaderboard.

I agree!

I mean, I know I said I wanted them to skate to an upbeat song on Sunday...but the macarena is taking the p*** every so slightly!

I hope Melinda skates to a slower song on Sunday. She seems to skate much better, with beautiful lines to slower songs, such as Hayley Westenra's Both Sides. That performance was lovely.

Fred's updated his DOI blog for anyone who's interested: http://www.fredandmel.com/#/doiblog/4526819268

Sounds like Mel's fall was worse than it seemed, ouch! Hopefully she's recovering well, thank goodness she didn't need surgery.

Ouch! Hopefully, Melanie will recover shortly.

this week Melinda and Fred will be dancing to the song

Awesome, thanks for posting those. The pics & story are also on the ITV site!

them saturday's are everywhere not good if you are really not a fan

Never heard of em! Eeek!

yeh i'm not a huge fan of the saturdays....

aww, they've had 3 top ten hits ...doing quite well

shame about the stumble fingers crossed she stays

It was a real shame about the stumble, but despite it, she skated wonderfully, IMO.

I'd score it a 3.5.

Fingers and toes crossed she stays!

Yay!!!!

They're not in the skateoff

It was unfortunate she stumbled. I would have quite liked to see the routine as it should of been, but very glad they stayed out oof the skate-off. The Detroiter was wicked though, the pulled that off well!

Update from Fred on his blog...
