Jason Gardiner criticises 'Ice' line-up

Jason Gardiner has claimed that Dancing on Ice producers should work harder to attract high-profile celebrities.

The show's outspoken judge named Matt Lucas, Cherie Blair and David Beckham as part of his dream line-up - and criticised the decision to approach lesser-known stars like Natalie Pinkham.

"I'd love to see Matt on the ice. That body in lycra would be a scream," Jason told the News of the World. "Cherie would be good too. She'd have a lot to say. And David would be the hot totty - quite distracting."

"I don't know why we had some of the people like Natalie Pinkham," he continued. "Nobody knew who she was."

Gardiner also complained that Holly Willoughby's skill as a presenter has been overshadowed due to the recent fuss over her revealing dresses.

"I love the fact she's curvaceous and not a size zero," he revealed. "She's shapely but she looks healthy and we need more of these kind of role models for young women.

"But when I read about Holly it's always about her t**s. People have become so fascinated with her breasts in her dresses that it's overshadowed just how good she is on the show."
