'Dancing' judge gives latest verdict

Jason Gardiner has given his latest verdict on the Dancing On Ice contestants.

The show's judge has admitted that he hopes this is the week when Kelly Holmes will be eliminated from the competition.

"I can't believe I stopped her being voted off last week," he told The Mirror. "I'm shocked. She took on board what I said and improved. But she's up against better dancers this week. She's reached the end of the line."

On Stefan Booth: "A mystery to me. He's like a cockroach - he can't be killed. I'm impressed with his ability to thrive under pressure. And now that John Barrowman's gone, we need him as the hot male totty."

Gardiner has also praised David Seaman for performing more gracefully, but admits that Gaynor Faye and Bonnie Langford are still his favourite contestants.
