But after Dancing on Ice's first live launch show, the second batch of plucky celebrities are taking to the ice. Digital Spy are here to keep tabs on the highs, lows and wardrobe malfunctions that will undoubtedly befall this lot. Let the ice see the skates...

20:56Well, what an evening! Sadly only one mishap tonight (thanks, Pasquale!) tonight, but hopefully you enjoyed the japes. Thanks again for joining Digital Spy, and hope to see you here again soon. Tuh-rah!
20:54All four judges vote to save Anthea, knocking Lauren out in the second week. Ouch.
20:50Anthea and Andy - who looks a bit like a waxwork of Javier Bardem you'd see at the Great Yarmouth 'House of Wax' museum - are skating to 'Loving You', and so far it looks like it could be a winner...
20:47So Lauren's last hope stands with 'Rescue Me' - something she'll be hoping the judges will be doing in a minute. But if she leaves tonight, what's the betting she'll be pleading with TOWIE bigwigs to let her back? It's a relatively good gig to ditch for only one week on ice...
20:45So it's Lauren and Anthea who will have to face the 'Save me Skate' - or the 'Skate-off' as Pip is calling it. Like your retro style, Schofield.

20:42It's time for the result, and the tension is barely bothering me!
20:39Poor Jason, not being able to remember these contestants' names. Either he's turning into Louis Walsh or the follicles from his hair transplant are spreading into his brain.
20:32That link redefined the word clunky. Can't help but feel as though Holly is still quite missed on this show...
20:30Welcome back! Hope you all enjoyed Family Fortunes... Now it's time to see which numpty will be heading home tonight.
19:44So they've pranced about as best they can in a bid to avoid the 'Save Me Skate' - which, I think you'll agree, is suspiciously similar to previous series's 'Skate-offs'. Anyway, join Digital Spy back here at 8.30pm to see if there will be another earth-shattering, life-changing elimination a la Anderson...
19:38Unanimous placid comments from the judges are dished out to Anthea. The nation snoozes.
19:35Wearing more hair extensions than the whole cast of TOWIE, Anthea sucks all meaning out of a perfectly decent song by messily skating about to 'Skyfall'.

19:34Didn't take long for, cough, media-shy hubby Grant Bovey to get his mug about on this nonsense.
19:32So last and definitely least is Anthea Turner. For some odd reason, I suddenly have a hankering for a Flake...
19:26Aside from labelling Lauren Goodger as 'a walrus', there has been a severe lack of backbiting, bitchy comments from Jason tonight. Which is a shame, obviously. Come on Schofe, you did a good job of stirring the nonsense between Jase and Karen last week - step it up!
19:23And, as if any viewers still weren't sure what he's famous for, Luke is skating in a gold top to a song called 'Gold Forever' and with a backdrop of images showing him in his Games gear.
19:22I can't help but feel a bit sorry for Luke, who just goes to prove that getting a gold medal doesn't necessarily mean that the mega-bucks and Subway sponsorship deals will roll in.

19:21This is gold medallist Luke Campbell, who lists the incredible perks since he won at the Olympics as a free haircut and an upgrade on a train. He's almost as easily pleased as Cheggers!
19:17Apologies Eve Lina. Was just making a daft comment about the fact that Oona's partner Mark looks rather a lot like Strictly's Matthew. We know they're not the same people!
19:13
Jason criticising someone for lacking variety in their expression LOL. #doi

19:10Good to see Strictly Come Dancing's much-missed professional Matthew Cutler is back on TV as Oona's partner.
19:07You can't have a reality TV show without a very vaguely recognisable/controversial politician type. So with that in mind, here's Oona King.
19:03
One is amazed by the intelligence of people from Essex like Lauren Goodger, who correctly identified that "ice is slippery". #DOI

19:01Keith Chegwin just can't stop grinning, clearly overjoyed at having had another week where he's been able to go ice skating free of charge.
18:58Jason dishes out his lowest marks yet for Joe with a meagre 2.0. He definitely has the Todd Carty factor, which probably counts for something?
18:53Somehow, Joe manages to fall over twice during that performance - neither of which were actually on the ice. Must be a DOI first!
18:52These days, Joe's more likely to be seen propping up the ad breaks between Jeremy Kyle as 'The Underdog'. So on the plus side, if he breaks his leg during this job he should have the full support of National Accident Helpline.

18:50Joe Pasquale time! It's what we've all been waiting for... He dubs himself as 'a comedian'. Hmm. I have a lot of issues with that.
18:45Joe and partner Vicky look like Incredibles figurines that melted in a Toys R' Us shop fire.
18:43
Funniest moment so far on #DOI Lauren saying "it's slippery over there" #blessher

18:40Seeing as Loz left Essex for this show, I'd say she needn't have bothered after that performance...

18:39Lauren falls over twice during rehearsals while partner Michael has her in a lift. I'm definitely not going to make any weight remarks here, because that would be unnecessary...
18:37Sooo up next is a BAFTA winner. No, it's not Andrew Scott - it's ex-TOWIE no-no Lauren Goodger.
18:35
Bought some gorgeous jackets in Ralph Lauren today! Can't wait to wear!! Now watching DOI! Who's watching? #DOI

18:31Bit of a contradiction going on with Ashley Pussycat Doll's garb tonight. Necklace says 'red carpet event' - unkempt hair screams 'just off to Tesco'.
18:29Thankfully Gareth skates better than he speaks. Although partner Robin looks like a dressed-down version of The Pricey.
18:26Aside from being yet another reality TV veteran and a gold medal-standard mumbler, there's not much to say about Gaz. Shall we all get a cup of tea?

18:24So first onto the ice is bland as broccoli rugby-playing buff ball Gareth Thomas. He came third on CBB in 2012 and has more tattoos than Harry Styles.
18:23In a desperate attempt to create some faux drama, everyone's discussing the 'total shock' about Anderson's exit. She fell over more than I've had hot dinners and she clearly didn't want to be there. Was it really a shock?
18:20Gareth Thomas has obviously taken his costume inspiration from Fifty Shades of Grey. Shudder.
18:20And if you can tear yourself away from the excitement, don't forget to leave your thoughts and comments throughout the show below.
18:19Good evening all you fans of hapless celebs! Welcome to Digital Spy's blog on the second batch of plucky C-listers hitting the ice tonight...
