Dancing On Ice: It's Curtains For Keith!

Keith Chegwin has become the 7th celebrity skater to be eliminated from Dancing On Ice.

Despite being awarded 25 points, his highest score so far, for this week's main skating challenge, it wasn't enough to save TV presenter/actor, Keith from getting the boot! The five remaining celebrities in the hit ITV show are Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle, ex-rugby player Gareth Thomas, Corrie star Samia Ghadie, ex-EastEnders star Matt Lapinskas and Olympic boxer Luke Campbell.

This week's show saw the celebs go head-to-head, as Team Matt (with Matt, Gareth and Luke) took on Team Beth (with Beth, Samia and Keith) in a choreographed challenge to double their points on the scoreboard.

While the boys bust their moves to MC Hammer's You Can't Touch This, the girls and Keith went Gangnam Style! Both teams gave it their all, but the judges decided that Team Matt's techniques gave them the edge.

This week's individual performances included Samia and hunky dance partner, Sylvain Longchambon dancing to the Aqua hit, Barbie Girl and Beth skating in a 1920s inspired routine with her professional partner, Daniel Whiston.

Simon has long been a fan of soap operas, and especially loves OVER-THE-TOP plots involving evil twins, hair-pulling catfights and natural disasters.

Anyone remember the Sunset Beach earthquake/tidal wave?

Or when Krystle Carrington got locked in the attic and replaced by look-a-like Rita in Dynasty?!

Simon has written for a variety of TV and childrens’ magazines/websites including Inside Soap, Nickelodeon, What’s On TV, Radio Times, Metro, Girl Talk, Disney Girl, Toxic! and Digital Spy.

He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!" Stewart) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Aussie soap.
