It looks like another John Sergeant type situation is developing on ITV's dancing on ice. We initially thought Todd Carty was the new 'John Sergeant' but we were wrong bubbling away under the radar was Coleen Nolan and she has turned out to be Dancing On Ice's 'John Sergeant '.
Admittedly she was never as dire as John was on Strictly Come Dancing, but she has been clearly outperformed skating-wise by a least three of the celebs that have been eliminated namely; Zoe Salmon (former Blue Peter presenter), Roxanne Pallet(Emmerdale actress) and Melinda Messenger (Model and TV presenter).
No surprise them that Internet fora and newspapers are questioning whether Coleen deserves to have got this far, claiming her quality of skating is far below that of most of the peers and her continual stay demeans the programme.
Please! Why do people forget that this is ultimately an entertainment show and if Coleen entertains folk then all power to her and long may she reign on the ice. At 15Bytes we would love to see Coleen win rather than the ever-smug and annoyingly capable Ray Quinn .

Ellery takes one 'ell of a tumble....
...and is out of Dancing on ice.
Once Todd Carty went, Ellery Hanley was vulnerable and was certainly top in our books to go next.
As many have pointed out it is far more difficult for the celeb men than it is for the women and none more so than the huge ex-Rugby international more used to crunching tackles than swanning around in a leotard.
And so it proved to be, Ellery and Melinda Messenger ended up in the skate-off having finished bottom once the Judges votes and the public phone in vote had been added up.
Ellery's tumble in the skate-off did not help matters and the Judges voted 4-1 to send him home.
Interestingly Coleen Nolan squeezes through on a very average performance and I am beginning to think we were wrong all along maybe Coleen Nolan is the new 'John Sergeant'!
And lastly Ray Quinn, young, good-looking, very competent Ray Quinn. We aren't loving him. if we wanted proper Ice-Skating with no drama, no slip-ups, we would watch re-runs of the Winter Olympics.

The "indestructible" Todd Carty survives again!
Another week on ITV's celebrity-reality-talent show Dancing on Ice and another survival by Todd Carty. Despite putting in a performance that could best be described as 'flapping on ice' Todd Carty sailed through into the next round ahead of Micheal Underwood and Melinda Messenger.
Todd survival must be particularly galling for Micheal Underwood who was quoted in the papers as saying that Todd Carty was a good skater and only faking his goofiness. Given you're in the bottom two Michael I think you should be concentrating on your own skating abilities and worrying less about others.
Update: The skate-off has taken place and Underwood was voted off.
