Ashley Banjo and Jayne Torvill are the soul of this show. They give tough love. Sometimes they give confused frowns. It’s art.
Oti Mabuse brings the fire. She once yelled “You are a butterfly!” at a man who just fell on his face. Inspiring.
Will they all return? Probably. They seem to enjoy the chaos. Plus, they get to sit in heated chairs. That’s the dream.
The Training Nightmare
Contestants train for six weeks before the first live show. That’s not a lot. They learn to skate and lift a partner. While smiling.
Injuries are common. Pulled groins. Bruised tailbones. One contestant broke his wrist waving to the crowd. Not joking.
They also have to wear fake tan so they look less pale under the lights. By week three, everyone is orange and frostbitten. Glamorous.
