Bedraggled and with its sense of purpose lost, 'Dancing on Ice' returns after being paused for a week, due to the sheer amount of people pulling out due to Covid and injuries.
I'm very critical of this show, I think it's long past its best, not to mention a sheer waste of the talented presenters and judges, but this episode at least tried to improve on the lackluster form it has been in this year.
There was a sense of fun about proceedings, which has long since been lost recently, from the judges introductions, to Holly being snuck up on by a dinosaur (don't ask). I'm not saying these were laugh out loud moments, but it did break the staid format a little.
As for the 'celeb' performances themselves, to fill the mammoth running time they had been extended to the point of pointlessness, and the scores seemed inflated to silly levels.
While Faye's determination is verging on annoying week on week I actually had a lot of time for the booted out Rebekah Vardy, who hasn't moaned, hasn't entered into the circus of the show, and has taken it for what it is.
Better, especially due to Torvill and Dean skating, but please ITV, find something better for next year.
