Backley departs 'Dancing On Ice'

Steve Backley has become the latest celebrity to be voted off Dancing On Ice.

The Olympic javelin thrower lost out to ex-Coronation Street star Zaraah Abrahams in the skate-off.

Backley, who had been voted in the bottom two for the last three weeks, was selected unanimously by the judges to exit the show.

Samantha Mumba, Aggie Mackenzie and Tim Vincent have all been beaten by Backley in previous skate-offs.

Speaking about his exit, Backley said: "I'm disappointed to go and there is no getting away from that. I am gutted.

"I'm delighted to have got as far as I have, to have met all these wonderful people - and even the judges have been good occasionally."
