Dancing On Ice Betting Odds: Gareth Gates Goes Home

Next week is the Dancing On Ice final, but it’ll be a final without a young man dressed like a fat girl at a provincial nightclub - Gareth Gates is out.

For the first time since Dancing On Ice began, Gareth’s army of crazy fans weren’t able to keep him out of the dance-off last night, and the judges didn’t waste any time in eliminating him unanimously. But then that’s exactly what his routine to Livin’ On A Prayer demanded. Having misunderstood the required element 20-second solo-spot to be an opportunity to stand around doing air guitar like a bad-haired shithead, Gareth then went on to waste several precious seconds of his routine by clapping. And if that’s an ice-dance move, then that would make Busta Rhymes the new Dick Button.

But now that Gareth Gates is out of Dancing On Ice, who’ll win the final? Here are the Dancing On Ice betting odds for Zaraah Abrahams, with help from Paddy Power…

Zaraah Abrahams - Pitting Zaraah Abrahams against her fellow Dancing On Ice semi-finalists, it was always clear that she wouldn’t do well. Not just a case of Zaraah having been in the dance-off non-stop for about a month now, but she didn’t have the attention-seeking compulsion to show off of Chris Fountain, the ruthless determination to crush her foes of Suzanne Shaw or the freakish, logic-defying fanbase of Gareth Gates. To get through to the Dancing On Ice finals, Zaraah Abrahams needed to pull off something really special. And could she manage it? Oddly, yes. Her routine to One couldn’t have been more assured or elegant, despite having a week mainly spent falling on her bum. Zaraah threw everything she had into her routine, which included huge lifts, terrifying upside-down spins and a bit of sort of ballerina-dance thing, and she ratcheted up her highest score for it. Plus, Zaraah has promised to do a topless photoshoot if she wins, but anyone stupid enough to fall for that is probably too stupid to be able to use a telephone. SCORE - 27 - Current Dancing On Ice betting odds - 33/1
