Boyzone Star Skates off Dancing on Ice

8 Mar 2010

Mikey Graham has become the latest star to be booted off Dancing on Ice.

A busy Boyzone schedule meant he had just two days to train for his routine to bandmate Ronan's song, when you say nothing at all. The lack of training seemed to show for the star who scored just 19 points with the judges coming bottom of the leader board and in the skate off with Daniella Westbrook.

However, despite being forced to skate off the show Graham said he would be leaving on a high. "There comes a time at the end of every party when there's a time to leave and I've really had the most amazing journey," he said "This has been such an adventure, and publicly and also personally this has given me a magnificent feeling
"I want to thank Stephen up there and all my bandmates."

However, Graham's departure hasn't pleased judge Jason Gardiner who voted to keep the Boyzone star in the show writing on Twitter after the show, Gardiner remarked: "I stand by my vote for Mikey. We have required elements for a reason and he gave a solid performance plus nailed the spins. Danniella didn't."

However, it was favourite Hayley Tammadon who shone on the night scoring full marks of 30 from the judges. Her Slumdog millionaire inspired routine earned her a standing ovation from the judges.
Head judge Robin Cousins told the Emmerdale actress "That is the first time we have spontaneously stood up for one of our contestants. You took it to another level. It was absolutely on the money."

Actor Danny Young also took the movie night them as an opportunity to become the first person on the show to perform topless when he skated to the song Gonna Fly Now from Rocky.

The bookies are still pricing Hayley Tammadon as the favourite to win the show. Betfair are offering odds of 13/50 she will skate off with the prize. Daniella Westbrook is now the favourite to be eliminated from the show with Betfair offering odds of 19/20 that she will not survive the next skate off.

All odds correct at time of writing and are subject to change.
