'Ice' judge Gardiner 'regrets' quit threat

Dancing on Ice star Suzanne Shaw has claimed that Jason Gardiner regrets threatening to quit the programme.

The acid-tongued judge vowed not to attend the show's final if tennis ace Greg Rusedski is voted through to the end.

"Jason probably regrets saying that now. He really put his foot - or skate - in his mouth," Suzanne told the Daily Star. "He's actually made Greg more popular with viewers."

Gardiner has named Suzanne as his choice to win the show, claiming that she deserves it more than bookies' favourite Chris Fountain.
