Dancing on Ice 2011 line-up confirmed

Unlike previous series, Phillip Schofield has picked out some rather random celebrities for 2011's contest. Although it is rumoured to be becoming 12 before the series has even started, here's the full contestant line-up competing on Phillip & Holly's famous rink:

Former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona
Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe
Daughter of Richard & Judy Chloe Madeley
Rapper Vanilla Ice
Loose Women star Denise Welch
WAG Elen Rivas
muscleman Craig McLachlan
Radio fella Dave Vitty
Victoria Cross Hero Johnson Beharry
TV presenter Jeff Brazier
EastEnders star Sam Attwater
Corrie actor Steven Arnold
Cricketer Dominic Cork
Kid's TV presenter Laura Hamilton
EastEnders actress Nadia Sawalha
TV actress Angela Rippon

Now who do you think will have to compete again and who may win? More importantly, are we heading for another Ann Widdecombe out of these lot?

Roy's girlfriend's name: finally found out!

After we read in an article about Roy refusing to give away his girlfriend's name, resulting in us guessing it, nothing could've prepared me for the worst. Tweets from tweeterers who know Roy quite well came flooding in about his family, saying he'd dedicated one of his tweets on the @Scouting4Girls feed to his girlfriend. Whether he did or not it's not yet known, then I had another one saying he'd done an interview saying both his girlfriend and baby's name! So it looks like the article's content has eventually proved false, as when we mistaked him for going out with Louise Glover and said his ex was Sarah Fishwick, her name's turned out to be: Lucy! So we've just guessed! Again!

Gabriella 4 Matt

Bowling alley barman Matt Leacock should've known that employing singer Gabriella Cilmi to help him in his bowling alley was the wrong thing to do, and he might well regret it as the singer has completely fallen for the bowling barman! And yes, that mutual feeling (including unable to keep her hands off his chest) is involved. There has even been a couple of times when she's said to Matt she loves him! Just what will the bowling barman say to his wife?

Kara wins Strictly

Our dreams and hopes have come true. When we said in the last post Kara Tointon was in danger of falling through the dancefloor (typically, she was) well tonight, it's been confirmed that Kara has won Strictly Come Dancing 2010! And didn't she just cry with shock when she heard her name be called out! That's the trouble with girls, though....

Shane provides the laughs (and forgets he's on TV)

Anyone who watches EastEnders will know, actor Shane Richie, best notable for playing Alfie Moon, is the fella that provides the most laughs. And when he's on Don't Forget The Lyrics (DFTL, as it's best known, stands for), it's no exception. Sky viewers may be told he's going to be host that's going to make you laugh from the outset! From a male contestant bringing on a pregnant fiance to him forgetting he's on the TV!

Mistaken for Phil..... Turns out to be Bill!

Remember when we published in the Fancy bloke update that we didn't know whether the fella off BBC Breakfast's name was Bill or Phil. Well we looked him up online via Google search, and it kept showing this suggestion Bill Turnbull. Although I declined it at first, thinking it's Phil, and actually not Bill, I was in for a shock when I started searching 'Bill Turnbull' and a lot more photos of the BBC Breakfast fella actually came up than when I searched for 'Phil Turnbull', and it was also confirmed on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, that his name is actually Bill, and not Phil! So I'd been going about all this time mistaking him for being Phil, and he's Bill! And here's something else, when I suspected he was actually 42, his real date of birth is 25th January 1956 and he's actually 54! Way too old... And plus, he's been discovered on twitter as @billtu!

Come back, Michael!

It may be just 3 days until the festivities, but actor Michael French (Nick Jordan) is still showing no signs of returning to Casualty! And it's becoming a right pain when Casualty is being watched for his benefit - in yet it's so sad when we find he's actually not in the drama! We're keeping our eyes peeled though, as an apparant christmas advert has shown on BBC1 that Michael might be back in the drama in time for the seasonal cheer! Oh, lets hope so. Casualty is being watched for your benefit, so come back Michael!

Roy's new haircut

Scouting For Girls frontman Roy Stride, in the previous SFG TV podcast episodes, didn't look so attractive. Well now, we suspect he's been to the male hairdresses for episode 9, as he has a boyish style, gorgeous attractive haircut. Which tells us we might prefer episode 9 than previous episodes Roy's involved in, as that lovely boyish haircut looks much better than how Roy looked before, and Roy must've thought after fans' complaints that his hair was growing last month, must've been a wake-up call for him to go to the male hairdressing salon and get his hair cut in a boyish style especially for episode 9. He hates his hair growing after all. Suits you, sir!

Phil's caught with wine-stained teeth!

Anyone who tries bordeux wines will tell you, especially the red colour, the next day you have red-stained teeth like they've been bleeding. Or at least that's what happened to Phillip Schofield, after he'd tried several red wines whilst on This Morning! He hadn't known what'd hit him when he'd asked someone to take a picture of himself and saw he had red-wine stained teeth as if they'd been bleeding, really he'd been trying lots of bordeux wines. Not a good look at all, Phil!

Fern Britton in Strictly?

Now having Pete Ellard of Scouting For Girls about to become a talked-about Ann Widdecombe very soon, Fern Britton is said to head that route too, as Phillip Schofield's ex-This Morning screen wife is apparently taking to the dance floor in the Strictly Come Dancing christmas special, which will also see the likes of John Barrowman and people take to the dance floor. Like Pete, we can't see Fern getting any trophy, either (Unless she gets ex-This Morning co-host Phil Schofield's vote)! Who'll stand out from the crowd out of Pete in next year's T&D DOI and Fern in the Strictly christmas special?

Kara Tointon to win Strictly?

With last year's T&D DOI finalist soaring on Strictly Come Dancing at the moment, Kara Tointon is probably in danger of falling through the dance floor! With the semi-final just next week, all of us have a feeling Kara might still be in it and may be lucky enough to get through to the final, after the eviction of the most talked-about contestant Ann Widdecombe. Not sure what's on the dance cards next week though, but we've had a glimpse of her in the TV guide and she's dancing in red clothes, whatever it is! But whatever, will it be enough for Kara to end up lifting the glitterball trophy aloft?

Fancy bloke update

The fancy blokes in my life are spiralling out of control, and with some of them already out of my mind for now, I've been left with the top 6. You'll be surprised that Brandon Flowers, Roy Stride and Phillip Schofield are still among them, but now some new have come into the limelight. It could only be in the shape of Casualty actor Michael French and BBC Breakfast presenter Phil Turnbull (who I'm not sure whether is Phil or Bill). The ones I've fancied for an awfully long time include Shane Richie & Derek Thompson. And it's been found out that Michael French is actually the same age as Phillip Schofield, which is a somewhat surprise!

Torvill & Dean's 2011 FULL line-up confirmed!

We are pleased to announce that the stars taking part in next year's Torvill & Dean's Dancing on Ice 2011 (not the live tour, the contest we've made up) has been fully announced FINALLY! There are two bookies' favourites been tipped to win, but before we tell you who they are here's the full line-up of the 2011 rink recruits....

Gino D'Acampo - This Morning, napoli-born chef
Pete Ellard - Scouting For Girls drummer
Shane Richie - EastEnders actor and TV presenter

We can confirm the bookies' favourites to win are either going to be Paul Cattermole or Abbey Clancy. But it will all depend on how they'll fair on the rink... Who'll get the trophy and who'll hit the skids?! Can't wait to find out! All details will be published....

Holly Willoughby: 2nd Child?!

We need an answer to this. We got an email of ITV.com, found after waiting for weeks of checking, and something cropped up saying that Holly Willoughby was announcing she's pregnant again! (But again, Phil's not the father, get it?!). She's expecting yet a second child who is going to be a brother or sister for her son Harry, now one and a half (also not Phillip's child). Her and Dan are said to be absaloutely thrilled, but is she expecting now or does it mean the second baby will be due sometime next year?
