Sam Attwater wins Dancing On Ice 2011

By JODY THOMPSON

Winner: Former EastEnders star Sam Attwater lifted the Dancing On Ice 2011 trophy after skating a 'passionate' Bolero with partner Brianne Delcourt


Former EastEnders star Sam Attwater was crowned the Dancing On Ice 2011 champion after one of the tightest grand finals the show has ever seen

The 24-year-actor won the public's hearts with his 'passionate' version of show star's Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean's Bolero - despite accidentally leaving his hand on her breast at the end as they sprawled on the ice.

Sam gushed about Brianne, 29, too as he lifted the winner's trophy, saying: 'I've had the time of my life. I've made a friend for life and I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for Brianne.'


High five: The pair were thrilled to be crowned champions - and Sam dedicated his win to Brianne, who he said would be a 'friend for life'


The pair won through with their consistently good skating since the show started in January and Sam had been the bookies' favourite since day one.

However, they had caused controversy earlier in the show's run over accusations they had tried to manipulate viewers with a 'faux-mance' between themselves.

In February, they had told show host Phillip Schofield they were 'an item' as they conducted a series of photoshoots in glossy magazines, even posing in bed with just their ice skates and giving quotes saying they ‘loved each other to bits’ and had met each other’s parents.

Hair raising! Jason Gardiner reveals new £12,000 hair transplant as Laura Hamilton scores perfect 10s on Dancing On Ice final

By Jody Thompson


Hair today: The previously bald Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner revealed the results of his £12,000 hair transplant live on the show's grand final tonight


It's a secret he'd literally been keeping under his hat - but tonight Dancing On Ice's acid-tongued judge Jason Gardiner unveiled his new hair transplant live during the grand final.

The 39-year-old Australian was so bowled over by children's TV presenter Laura Hamilton's performance on the rink that he doffed his trilby to her - and revealed the layer of dark brown growth on his previously shiny pate.

Jason flashed the fuzz after Laura and partner Colin Ratushniak landed straight 10s from all three judges for their routine to the Pointer Sisters' I'm So Excited.

Hats off: The judge decided to literally take his hat off in salute to Laura Hamilton's perfect 10s after her routine in the grand final to The Pointer Sisters I'm So Excited


As he shocked the crowd with his unveiling, he said: 'Laura I have to say I take my hat off to you - incredible! You have just proven why you are in this competition. You just took it to another level.'

Surprised co-host Holly Willoughby gasped afterwards: 'I'm almost sepeechless about what was under the hat!'

It's understood Jason spent £12,000 on the procedure where follicles are taken from the back of the head on embedded into the crown.

It had been rumoured before the final that the judge would be unveiling his thatch on the show, but that was denied by host Phillip Schofield at the start.

As he and Holly addressed the viewers, he said that instead Jason would be debuting his new do on tomorrow's This Morning - however, he was soon proved wrong to the delight of the studio audience.

Jason had been enthusing about his new thatch on his official Twitter page earlier in the day - and revealed he was already preparing to have a second operation.

He told his 60,000 followers: 'I will have a second one in order to get back all the hair I lost. The medical technology these days is just remarkable!

'It is quite miraculous what they can do these days. Dr Ziering is a genius! x Thank you I'm very happy with the results.'

Mail Online can reveal that the Dr Ziering in question has more than 19 years of experience as a hair transplant surgeon based in Southern California, at Beverly Hills and Newport Beach, and in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It's not known exactly when and which clinic Jason had the operation in however.

Chloe Madeley meanwhile denied that she had needed a rink-side psychothearapist to overcome her nerves ahead of the final.

The show's announcer revealed: 'She said that the only shrink she needs is bubble wrap around her bruises.'

Hair we go: Jason Gardiner was so impressed with Laura that he revealed his new hair transplant in her honour - but the public voted for Sam


Chloe's father Richard Madeley, who was sat in the audience with wife Judy Finnegan, also heckled the judges at one point after he felt they marked her too low for her routine to (I've Had) The Time Of My Life from Dirty Dancing.

Richard's heckling wasn't enough to save his daughter however, and after the first public vote, she was off the show, meaning she landed first place on the show.

The remaining two couples, Sam Attwater and Brianne Delcourt and Laura and Colin were then left to battle it out and skate the routine made famous by the show's chief coaches, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean - the legendary Bolero.

Judges votes no longer counted - and it was solely down to the public to decided who would be the Dancing On Ice 2011 champion - and they decided on Sam, despite Laura's perfect 10s.

Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner will return next year... but only for the right price

By Daily Mail Reporter


Pay me double - or I'll quit: Jason Gardiner is believed to have told Dancing On Ice bosses that if they want him back next year, they'll need to give him a big pay rise


He's made just as many headlines as the contestants with his outspoken and sometime scathing views.

And ITV bosses have cited Jason Gardiner as one of the reasons behind this season's high ratings, as viewers tune in hoping he will get into a row with a contestant, their friends and family, or one of his fellow judges.

But Gardiner, 39, is believed to have given the show's bosses and ultimatum and has demanded they pay him double his pay - or he'll walk.


The Australian choreographer, who is paid £100,000 to be a judge, wants double that to return to the panel next year, according to the People.

He said: 'I AM that show. Without me it is dull. I know they want me on the next series but they are going to have to pay what I’m worth.'

And yesterday a source on the show, which has pulled in an average of seven million viewers every week this series, said: 'ITV will pull out all the stops to keep Jason. He’s driven the show more than ever this series.

'His run-ins with Karen Barber and Tim Healy have been the most talked about episodes. Viewers may not ­always like what he says, but they also want to hear his opinions.

You're opinions don't matter: Gardiner reduced head coach Karen Barber ot tears after they got into a row after he gave low points to contestant Johnson Beharry VC


'The top brass realise they need to start talking about Jason’s future here. Money will be an issue. It now all depends on whether there is enough dough in the budget to complete the sort of deal we know Jason is after.'

But according to the Daily Star Sunday, Gardiner will be getting £135,000 next year, which will making him the highest paid judge.

he has hit the headlines this season after a run-in with head coach Karen Barber, who he left 'inconsolable' after telling her opinions 'did not matter'.

He hit out at Tim Healy, husband of departing skater Denise Welch, after he confronted him at the judges desk berating him for his critical comments about his wife.

Gardiner turned his head away and later took to his Twitter page and wrote that Healy stank of ‘stale p*** and alcohol’.


Listen, pal: Gardiner got a ticking off from Denise Welch's partner Tim Healy - but waved the actor away and said 'Oh my God, your breath!'

'Nervous wreck' Chloe Madeley fears she'll crack under pressure in Dancing On Ice final

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Finalists: Laura Hamilton, Sam Attwater and Cloe Madeley will battle it out in the Dancing On Ice final tomorrow night


Chloe Madeley might have made it to the grand finals but the Dancing On Ice star is worried she’ll crack under pressure.

The daughter of TV’s Richard and Judy is said to be a ‘nervous wreck’ over tomorrow’s final and fears she’ll mess up the lift which she hopes to bring her victory.

The 24-year-old is hoping to dazzle judges on the ITV1 show with a sexy Dirty Dancing routine.


Impressive moves: Chloe impressed earlier in the series with dance moves like these ones


Chloe and her dance partner Michael Zenezini will try to recreate the lift that Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey made famous in the 1987 hit film.

But if it goes wrong, her dream of winning the competition will be shattered and a show source says she’s ‘really scared’.


Injuries: Sam Attwater crashed into the ice during rehearsals earlier in the week, leaving his with sprained ribs and slashed knuckle


The former EastEnders star crashed into the ice during rehearsals earlier in the week, leaving his with sprained ribs and slashed knuckles.

‘I was doing a lift where I’m lifting two girls and then I just went and the way I landed I tried to save both the girls and went down and sprained my ribs and got a blade across my knuckles,’ he said.

But despite his fall, Sam is still the bookies’ favourite to win the dance-off against Chloe and Laura Hamilton.

Sam, 24, is set to dance to Footloose, while 28-year-old Laura is planning to shine while dancing to Madonna’s Express Yourself.

But children’s TV presenter Laura is also said to be scared that her fan base isn’t strong enough

She said: ‘Of course I was worried the fact not many people knew me could go against me.

‘I always knew from week one when it was completely down to the public vote that we’d struggle to make it through.



Worried: TV presenter Laura is also said to be scared that her fan base isn't strong enough to win


‘You don’t know how the public have taken to you – that’s why we didn’t expect to get this far.’

Meanwhile, Chloe said of her routine: ‘I have lots of boys in my showcase and lots of lifts.

‘There’s pressure from all these men telling me to get it right. I don’t want to injure anyone and I find it quite overwhelming.’

The Dancing On Ice final kicks off tomorrow at 7:40pm on ITV1

Dancing On Ice 2011: Johnson Beharry is voted off as Chloe Madeley, Laura Hamilton and Sam Attwater go through to the grand final

Emotional exit: Johnson Beharry VC and partner Jodeyne Higgins were voted off Dancing On Ice on the semi-final


Johnson Beharry VC missed out on a place in the Dancing On Ice final tonight, after facing Chloe Madeley in the skate-off.

The Victoria Cross hero was voted off the programme in the semi-final after the three judges unanimously decided to save Chloe.

But ever-cheery Johnson managed to take the news well, telling viewers: 'There's no need to be sad, I had loads of fun - the time of my life.'


Unanimous: All the judges decided to save Chloe Madeley and Michael Zenezini after the skate-off


After revealing the public vote, hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby announced that Sam Attwater and Brianne Delcourt had made it through to next week's final, before announcing they would be joined by Laura Hamilton and Colin Ratushniak.

That left Chloe Madeley and Michael Zenezini and Johnson Beharry VC and partner Jodeyne Higgins to perform in the skate-off.

Chloe and Michael were first up, and while the routine was perhaps slightly more hesitant, the pair got through without repeating the tumble they had earlier managed during the routine.


Green with envy: Johnson and Jodeyne performed to Noah and the Whale's Life Goes On


A clearly emotional Jodeyne said after the performance: 'Every moment I have been out of the ice with this man has been truly inspirational.'

But it was a unanimous decision from the judges, who all voted for Chloe to get through to the final next week.

Earlier in the show, the skaters were shown being told by judge Robin Cousins that they would have to complete a solo routine after finishing their first dance.

The celebrities were also told both of the routines would be given marks by the judges, giving them the chance to earn a maximum of 60 points.


Chloe and Michael were first up on the semi-final week, with Chloe admitting she was stunned to have made it so far in the competition.


As well as attempting a knee slide, Chloe and Michael tried their most dangerous lift to date, the 'Roman Candle' lift which sees Chloe place her skates on Michael's chest and lean forward.

And after the dress rehearsal for the show, Chloe was left in tears after finding the lift to difficult to complete, insisting: 'This is the most ridiculous thing we have done to date'.

Seconds out! Denise Welch's husband Tim Healy confronts Jason Gardiner onstage as his wife is latest voted off Dancing On Ice

By JODY THOMPSON


Face off: Acid-tongued Jason waved the Benidorm star away saying 'Oh my god, your breath!'


Second time judge has been confronted following row with Karen Barber


Jason Gardiner was left quaking in his cravat again tonight after he was confronted live on Dancing On Ice tonight - this time, by Denise Welch's husband Tim Healy.

The 59-year-old former Auf Wiedersehen Pet star, who now features in ITV1's Benidorm, rushed to his wife's defence after another lashing by the acid-tongued judge.

However, Tim's staunch defence wasn't enough to save her and after finding herself in the bottom two skate-off with Johnson Beharry after the public vote, Denise was voted off the show.

After the Loose Women star and partner Matt Evers, 34, finished their routine to Eighties softrockers Heart and their power ballad Alone, Jason exclaimed: 'It shows that you are better at the slower stuff - but I would like to say it was a little bit like watching two people play Twister.

'It was like Matt did a position then he assisted you into another position, there was no flow.'

However, Tim wasn't going to take the criticism of his partner lightly, and jumped from his seat in the audience to invade the stage and march right up to the judging table.

As Denise pleaded with him to 'sit down!' Tim put himself right in 39-year-old Jason's face and ranted: 'She’s 52 and she’s got four jobs! How many jobs have you got, eh?'


Cringemaking: Denise held her head in her hands as her husband took on Jason, but her partner Matt Evers seemed to find it hilarious


Not enough: Despite a good effort from Denise dancing to Heart's Alone - and Tim's rant - it wasn't enough to keep her on the show and she was voted off


As Denise looked on, clutching her head in her hands, Gardiner grimaced and waved away Tim with his hands, dismissing him with: 'Oh my God, your breath!'

Denise recovered herself somewhat however afterwards to joke with shocked show hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: 'It’s only the transvestite off of Benidorm!'

Tim said afterwards with a smile on his face: 'It just got me going a bit that was all, I'm her husband and I love her.'

Jason was previously incurred the wrath of Dancing On Ice head coach Karen Barber at the beginning of last month after he had slated her expertise.


Battling on: Johnson Beharry and partner Jodeyne Higgins beat Denise and Matt in the skate-off and live to skate another day


Karen, 49, was seen with tears streaming down her face after Johnson Beharry VC failed to get the points she felt he deserved during his routine on the Las Vegas themed show.

Karen said she felt the judges had marked him too low, to which Jason snapped back: 'If your opinion still mattered you'd be on the panel.'

However, weeks later, and Johnson still found himself on the bottom of the leader board tonight and then in the skate-off with Denise in the bottom two after the public vote.

Nevertheless, it was Johnson who all three judges chose to save in the skate-off, leaving him to battle on for another day.


Bottom two: Denise and Johnson found themselves at the bottom of the leader board before the scores of the winning team challenged were doubled - but the public vote restored the order


Show first: After the first ever team challenge, the skaters on the winning side had their points doubled


Denise said after being told the result: 'It was bound to happen at some point wasn't it? But I've had the most fantastic time, the experience of a lifetime.'

When Holly joked that she'd always had a lot of family support on the show, particularly from her husband, she exclaimed: 'Particularly tonight! I nearly died!
'But seriously, thanks for the best bunch of pals, and the public who voted for me.

I never in a million years thought I'd get to this stage. I'm knackered but I'm
going on the (Dancing On Ice) tour, so you haven't seen the last of me yet!'

Johnson, 31, had skated to Joe Cocker's You Are So Beautiful with partner Jodeyne Higgins and managed his first ever lift.


Flying high: Team Laura skated to Rockin' All Over The World by Status Quo and came out on top


On the ice: Team Sam did their routine to I Don't Feel Like Dancing by Scissor Sisters, which Jason said was 'like a step class at the gym'


He also revealed afterwards that the feeling had come back to his leg for the first time since he was injured in Iraq.

He said: 'For the first time, I can feel my left this this week for the first time in seven years. I feel really good.'

He landed his equal best mark yet of 17.5 - leaving Denise at the bottom of the leader board with 15.

But there was a twist for the first time in the contest, where the celebrities were split into two for a 'team challenge' and pitted against each other for the judges' votes.

Whichever team won had their scores after their initial dances doubled.

In the second half of the show, Team Sam danced a group routine to I Don't Feel Like Dancing by the Scissor Sisters whereas Team Laura skated to Status Quo's Rockin' All Over The World.

Jeff Brazier, 31 meanwhile, skated to Ray Charles's Hit The Road Jack watched by his friend Olly Murs in the audience - but only managed to equal his score of 22.5 from last week and was in fourth place.

Now in the final five, he said: 'I'm starting to believe that I can make the final. I'm the underdog - I'm the person who's come out of nowhere to potentially go for the title.'


Underdog: Jeff Brazier reckons he could still win the competition with his continued improvements on the ice with partner Isabelle Gauthier


Further up the leaderboard - and again Watched by her parents Judy Finnegan and Richard Madeley - Chloe Madeley made another fine fist of her routine to Alicia Key's Empire State Of Mind with partner Michael Zenezini, and landed her highest mark yet of 26.5.

She gushed afterwards: 'I'm speechless! That's unbelievable. I had a bit of a panic attack in the dressing room as the steps are so hard.'

Judge Robin Cousins said she shouldn't have been worried, saying: 'Every week you come out here and amaze me. That is one of the most difficult routines that any female celebrity has had in the last six years of the show. It was brilliant.

But finding herself on the top of the leaderboard this week was children's TV presenter Laura Hamilton - despite the fact she was in the skate-off last week.


Hot stuff: Laura Hamilton and Colin Ratushniak landed on top of the leader board after getting the judges excited by their routine to The Pointer Sisters' I'm So Excited



Dancing with partner Colin Ratushniak to The Pointer Sisters' I'm So Exicted wearing hot pink, she proved she was hot stuff when she landed 28.5 - the highest score of the series so far.

Jason said: 'You two are unbelievable to watch, the speed the attack...but you never compromise your performance or technique. You are absolutely brilliant.'

But it was a relatively bad week for Sam Attwater and Brianne Delcourt who had a disappointing routine dancing to Van Morrison's Crazy Love.


Not feeling it: Sam Attwater said he had trouble with his rotating lifts with partner Brianne Delcourt


Despite lots of lifts, he was down from 27 last week to 25.5 this week which Sam said he was actually quite pleased with.

He confessed: 'That was one of the worst ones we've done, so I was very pleased with that. I've really struggled on the rotating lifts.'

Judge Emma Bunton summed up the thoughts on the panel when she said: 'I didn't believe your performance tonight. That extra sparkle wasn't there for me.'

Nevertheless, Sam won through to skate on into next week's show - and battle it out with the rest of the last five as the final draws ever closer.

Jason Gardiner slams Dancing on Ice viewers for sympathy votes after Vanilla Ice is booted off the show

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Shock exit: Vanilla Ice and his skating partner Katie Stainsby were voted off Dancing On Ice this weekend which judge Jason Gardiner blamed the viewers for


Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner has slammed viewers of the show for putting contestants through on sympathy votes.

The outspoken choreographer hit out at the voting public after Vanilla Ice was voted off ahead of fellow celebrity contestants Johnson Beharry and Denise Welch.

Gardiner said the rapper - real name Robert Matthew Van Winkle - was 'much better' than the other two and blamed the viewers for putting him and Laura Hamilton, who topped the leaderboard last week, in the skate-off.


And he said the viewers' voting was 'frustrating' for the judges who were left to make 'soul destroying' decisions about contestants they want to keep in.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: 'It does a real disservice to the competition.

'It really angers me that people like Denise and Johnson are getting through on sympathy votes or popularity when we're losing someone who really should not have left.



Gracious in defeat: Vanilla Ice was resigned to his fate after he was voted out unanimously by the judges


Seductive: Vanilla Ice and partner Katie Stainsby performed a sexy Flamenco to Justin Timberlake's Like I Love You


'It's a crying shame he did. he's so much better than those two.'

And he hit out at the viewers again for wanting a 'mediocre' outcome to the ice skating talent show.

The 38-year-old added: 'If viewers want a lacklustre, mediocre, less-than-average final, they should keep voting for Johnson and Denise.'

Denise, who scored just 14.5 and was told that her routine was as painful as 'an MRI scan' by Gardiner, and Johnson, who received the same score, are safe to skate again next week.

But the judges were left aghast when Vanilla Ice, who scored 21.5, and Laura, who got 24.5, were given the lowest votes.

Gardiner said: This is where it gets heartbreaking for us. It's frustrating when we don't want either of them to go.'



Soul-destroying: Gardiner blamed the public for leaving the judges to vote between two of the strongest performers


High score: But her mark of 24.5 wasn't enough for the public to put Laura Hamilton in the skate-off


And he said he thinks that TV presenter Laura was voted into the skate-off because she's not as well known as the other celebrities, despite her outstanding routines and high marks week in week out.

He added: 'If we lost her, we'd end up with a clear frontrunner, Sam Attwater.
'I don't want that - I want them neck-and neck all the way to the final. It will be thrilling.'


Safe: Johnson Beharry VC and partner Jodeyne Higgins were kept in by the public despite being told they had no chemistry


MRI scan: Denise Welch performed a Carnival-style Brazilian Samba with Matt Evers which kept her in despite being told the routine was 'painful'
