Aggie’s ice exit

Despite Jason’s cutting comments: “I wish we could get rid of both of them”, there was only one loser in Sunday night's skate off, and that was "How clean is your house" celeb skater Aggie McKenzie After 5 unanimous saves from the judges in Steve’s favour, it was ‘Hello Dolly’ and goodbye Aggie. Sportsman Steve lives to skate another day, and TV domestic diva Aggie must hang up her skates and exit the ice rink for good. Aggie, who really did look ‘pretty and bright’ in her glitzy garb, admitted that she’d put on a poor performance, and after hearing the bad news even had a nice word to say about Jason: “I think he’s got a certain vulnerability”, she told Holly and Phil. Hmmmm. Steve also thought he’d skated badly, but managed to pull through in his second skate off in a row - despite feeling ‘under the weather for a few days’. Will he have what it takes to get through next week, as the competition gets tougher and the performances better and better? And how will poor Sergy get by without his perfect partner? We'll have to wait and see!

Prior to this there was glitz, glamour and more sequins than you can shake a stick at.on Satureay night. But which ice stars took centre stage during this week's Night On Broadway performances? Have a look...

Linda Lusardi and Dan Whiston skated to I Know Him So Well from Chess (Elaine Paige & Barbara Dickinson) scoring 17 points. Jason said “I was looking for great performances but that wasn’t one. When you let go of Dan, you were terrified. I didn’t feel the love, sorry.”

Chris Fountain and Frankie Poulteney skated to Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show (Richard O’Brien) scoring 25 points. Robin said “It was fantastic. I loved it, it was brilliant. It was just good quality skating”.

Greg Rusedski and Kristina Lenko skated to Any Dream Will Do from Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat (Lee Mead) scoring 13.5 points. Ruthie said “I think you’ve been quite lucky till now, but I think it’s time for you to go”.

Aggie Mackenzie and Sergey Malyshev skated to I Feel Pretty from Westside Story scoring 10 points. Jason said "In your defence, 'I feel pity’ for your song choice. I think the viewers who are keeping you in are sadistic”.

Tim Vincent and Victoria Borzenkova skated to You’re The One That I Want from Grease (Olivia Newton John and John Travolta) scoring 16 points. Ruthie said “You’re supposed to be playing King of Cool tonight, but it was a little lacklustre. Although this week, you do look much more in control of Victoria”.

Suzanne Shaw and Matt Evers skated to Fame from Fame (Irene Cara) scoring 22 points. Robin said “You are a great performer. You were a little tense and made a few mistakes with your toepicks, but you attacked the performance. You gave more than 100%.”

Steve Backley and Susie Lipanova skated to Hello Dolly from Hello Dolly (Louis Armstrong) scoring 14.5 points. Jason said “I was expecting you to come out here with energy and strength, but you went back to the Steve of a couple of weeks ago. You looked uncomfortable with your partner”.

Zaraah Abrahams and Fred Palascak skated to Don’t Cry For Me Argentina from Evita (Madonna) scoring 19 points. Robin said “You have what it takes, you are wonderful to watch”.

Gareth Gates and Maria Filippov skated to Razzle Dazzle from Chicago (Richard Gere) scoring 20.5 points. Nicky said “I was impressed from the first moment. The big change this week is that you lifting your head up. Now take it up a gear – more speed, power and commitment”.
