ITV’s most watched reality show, which hosts many celebrities on its Dancing on Ice program has witnessed another participant being voted out. It is none other than Melinda Messenger, the TV presenter. Her skate off was against Jessica Taylor, the former singer for Liberty X. Messenger had earlier finished in the last two places and this is the fourth time that this has happened.
Even after the public telephone vote, the judges simply refused to give her a fresh leash of life in the show. She was thrown out of the show. In Judge Nicky Slater’s opinion, Melinda stole the show with her performance but she was simply not good enough when competing against Jessica. With Melinda officially out of the reality show, the number of competitors has narrowed down to just six.
The competition between Melinda Messenger and Jessica Taylor was one of high drama. While Melinda danced and skated to Let’s hear it For The Boy song lyrics from the film Footloose, Taylor performed for the song Unbreak My heart sung by Toni Braxton. Melinda was not hopeful of a win against Jessica even before the performance. The tie-breaking performance saw Taylor perform a lift that ensured her win.
The only participant to score a perfect score from last week is singer and actor Ray Quinn who with his brilliant performance on ice earned himself a score of 29.5. Ray skated on ice for a song by Bill Hayley & the Comets named Rock Around the Clock. With 9 million viewers for the last episode, and for those lucky enough to watch the performance on high definition Sony BRAVIA LCD television, it was definitely a show to remember. Despite Quinn’s dominance, his victory is not at all a foregone show and things seem to only get more interesting as it progresses.
