I think Ray is fabulous - the best celeb skater I've seen on DoI - this worries me, because of all the praise it may turn people off him. Ray was brilliant from the start with no 'journey'.

Alesha did it on SCD no reason why Ray can't do it on DOI

I really like Ray I thought he was great on the X factor. His skating tonight was brilliant, he looks as though he has no fear and is so self assured. I hope he wins

I didn't like Ray on X-Factor, it wasn't the show for him and he was just a little boy then, but he's obviously a very good stage performer. X-Factor was good for him, it gave him the exposure he needed. He's clearly very talented, and he should win, he's streets ahead of the others.

On ITV live, and possibly also on a recording of the programme?

Bit of a tit.

He roller blades so I'm not surprised he can skate well on ice.

Anyway, I thought he was brilliant tonight, and I am NOT A FAN of his.

Dunno why, but he creeps me out..

I could watch Ray skate all night. He really is an all round entertainer. I hope the winner of DOI wins on merit and not for the sympathy vote.

Rays in a class of his own, he has natural ability, and also a huge following of fans who voted for him to win the x-factor....hes got it in the bag im pretty sure.

Is Ray's routine from yesterday on YT? I can't find it but would like to watch it again.

I really hope Ray is judged on ability and that his true happy go lucky personality comes through.

I do seem to remember Alesha's nan making constant appearances not to mention how she came from a poor background and couldn't afford stage school.

She was the well deserved winner, no one else came close - but she did have a journey. Some will never forgive Ray his rollerblading and ballroom experience.

I hope he has enough supporters to vote on ability - he is a truly exciting talent.

I have known Ray since he was a toddler and yes he did rollerblading for fun but not alot of it alot of his spare time was taken up competing in dancing when he was young, and then the acting and then ballroom dancing - it was just a hobbie not something he did all the time.

Nothing is to say Ray won't have a journey either, Alesha was good from week one and for me I sure fire finalist right through - keeping it up and improving is a journey too and I will watch with interest to see how Ray does, knowing his work eithic he will put his all in it and I hope he reaps the benefits of that work

I can't take to Ray at all, but I will admit he can skate better than he can sing. I just find him more than a wee bit smarmy.
