Dancing on Ice has finally been launched, as of January 5th, 2009 and the name of the participants who will be a part of the show has also been announced. This year’s show includes, among others, the charismatic Coleen Nolan, the Mirror columnist and Loose Women star.
Other famous celebrities that are finalized to grace the competition include, former model Melinda Messenger, ex Liberty X and Mrs Shane Warne Jessica Taylor, and ex East Enders stars Todd Carty and Gemma Bissix. Presenter Michael Underwood is there as well and he would really cherish the chance to compete at this year’s event after he had to suffer the agony of sitting out last year because of a damaging ankle he suffered at the start of the show.
The remaining star cast who are ready to display their skills on ice consist of retired Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallet, football expert Graeme Le Saux, rugby great Ellery Hanley, TV presenters Jeremy Edwards and Zoe Salmon, investigative reporter Donal MacIntyre, as well as X-Factor loser Ray Quinn.
Each of the contestants has done their homework well to emulate the feat of last year’s winner Suzanne Shaw. The dexterity and physical acumen required to succeed can be easily gauzed when someone like Mirror’s Mum To Mum writer Coleen, 43, reveals that practicing out on the ring helped her shed five stones! The lady who was frankly oversized at 20, managed to bring it drastically down to size 10 after spending some good time on the ice. Of course, for those of use who are not quite as graceful on ice, they is always the more sturdy option of losing weight on a treadmill like the Horizon Evolve. Losing weight is particularly important and helpful, especially for the ladies, if they have a petite figure as it will than be easier for her male counterpart to lift her to produce some really sensuous and sexy moves.
