Dancing on Ice - Suzanne Shaw skates to victory!

It’s been nine weeks in the making but on Sunday night celebrity skater Suzanne Shaw was crowned as this year’s Dancing On Ice champion. Big congratulations to the star who truly deserved the title after achieving two rounds of perfect sixes for her incredible performances to Time to Say Goodbye, Music, and for pulling off a beautiful Bolero. Although my favourite Chris was brilliant too - Suzanne scored TWO perfect 6.0 dances!

Although both stars gave everything they had in their emotional and intense renditions of the Torvill and Dean classic, on the night it was Suzanne’s performance that got the viewers approval. The star was moved to tears as the announcement was made and was completely shellshocked when presented with the trophy. But before Phil’s winning announcement she did manage to say “I have loved every minute of this show. I would like to thank everyone on and off the ice and Torvill and Dean". Despite looking gutted that he didn’t win, runner-up Chris gave his ice rival a big old hug and told Holly “I don't mind, I want to thank my mum and everyone over there for their support".


So that’s it for another year! But before my final Ice Dance blog finishes – here are the scores:
Zaraah Abrahams and Fred Palascak skated to One Day I’ll Fly Away (Randy Crawford) as her aerial skate and Diamonds and Pearls (Prince) scoring 52.5 (out of 60). Robin said “It was beautiful and controlled. No matter where you were in the air you eyes were connecting with Fred. And your arms have been positioned beautifully since the beginning of this competition”.
Chris Fountain and Frankie Poulteney skated to Cry Me A River (Justin Timberlake) and Fly Me To The Moon (Westlife) as his aerial skate scoring 54.5 (out of 60). Nicky said “It was amazing. You are the best thing that’s ever happened to Dancing On Ice.”
Suzanne Shaw and Matt Evers skated to Time To Say Goodbye (Sarah Brightman) as her aerial skate and Music (Madonna) scoring 60 (out of 60). Jason said “You are the whole package. You gave a champion performance. It was even better than your Week 7 performance. You are unbelievable”.

We also got to see Torvill and Dean’s Bolero - another magical performance – which has been updated and still managed to send shivers down my spine as the original one did! I may have to get tickets to see the live show to feed my skating addiction now the show has finished!
