Dancing on Ice 2012

It seems only a few weeks ago that series 7 of  Dancing on Ice started on ITV. Next Sunday ( Mothers Day ) will see the semi final which we now know will feature Jorgie , Matthew , Chico and Jennifer. The four wannabe skaters will be vying for a place in the coveted final the following week with the finalists having an opportunity to choreograph and skate their own version of the now legendary Bolero first performed by the inimitable Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean at the Winter Olympics in 1984.

The performance saw them become the highest scoring figure skaters ( for a single performance ) of all time. They scored TWELVE perfect sixes and six 5.9’s which included a 6.0 from each and every judge for the artistic impression.

Having toured with their own shows they retired until they started Dancing On Ice seven years ago.

We have a number of books in stock about both ice skating but more notably about this talented duo and co judge Robin Cousins and his close rival the late John Curry.
