On Saturday Dancing On Ice said goodbye to the hapless Stephen Gately – a man so ill-suited to dancing on ice that he had to resort to rolling around on his belly like a possessed munchkin with epilepsy during his routines in place of anything appropriating a lift.

And on Saturday Stephen Gately's luck ran out – he was cast out of Dancing On Ice for bumbling around like an attention-seeking toddler in a rubbish 1980s youth club disco to a Wham song. But it's not all bad news – at least Stephen Gately's Dancing On Ice partner won't have to spend her week worrying about what minuscule outfit she'll have to wear to make up for Stephen's staggering lack of skating proficiency, plus Stephen can now get to try his hand at something he'll be better at – like Theoretical Astrophysics, for example.

But now that Stephen Gately has been put out of his Dancing On Ice misery, who'll win? Here's part one of this week's Dancing On Ice betting odds – for Kay Burley, Lee Sharpe, Emily Symons and Lisa Scott-Lee – with help from Paddy Power…

Kay Burley – Since Dancing On Ice is a Saturday evening ITV show, it goes without saying that the studio audience will clap and whoop along to all rhythmic banging noises so compulsively that Philip Scofield has to deliberately vary the cadence of his voice every three seconds to stop them gormlessly banging their hands together with him. So imagine our shock when Kay Burley completed her Dancing On Ice routine to That's Amore in deafening silence. In retrospect this may have been the reason why a Dancing On Ice judge childed Kay for her lack of warmth. Kay's performance wasn't bad for a one-eyed middle-aged newsreader with three knackered ribs, but it still wasn't good enough to shift her from her deeply-dug outsider spot. Current Dancing On Ice betting odds – 80/1

Lee Sharpe – It's hard to know what superpower Lee Sharpe would give himself if he had the choice, but one thing's for sure – he certainly has the skintight, sequined, lightning-strike costume for it. Chances are that Lee's powers would involve dislocating girls' wrists, since that's how he spent the week prior to Dancing On Ice. Even with his partner's dodgy wrist causing her to wince whenever he pulled her close – at least, we think her wrist was the cause – Lee Sharpe managed to pull of a competent if unspectacular Dancing On Ice routine to I Want To Break Free that had the Dancing On Ice judges worrying that he was plateauing. It seems like the uncomfortable-seeming waddle is the best we'll get from Lee Sharpe. Current Dancing On Ice betting odds – 16/1

Emily Symons – During last week's Dancing On Ice, Emily Symons was told that she needed to act more to sell her routines. Since she's only ever played a succession of ditsy barmaids in useless soap operas, this advice understandably had us worried. But we needn't have – despite falling on her arse in rehearsal so heavily that she needed to suck up gas and air like a weeping hoover, her Dancing On Ice routine was slow, graceful and convincing enough to earn her a score of 23. Or perhaps Emily Symons got a high score because her partner wasn't dressed like a pikey transvestite on a hen night for once. Who the hell knows? Current Dancing On Ice betting odds – 14/1

Lisa Scott-Lee – The Swoop Of Death last week ensured that Lisa Scott-Lee was finally being taken seriously as a contender to win Dancing On Ice, and how did she follow it up on Saturday's show? By not even managing to get through her introduction without stacking it like someone had fired a tranquiliser dart into her neck. After getting over this initial bump, Lisa Scott-Lee combined a gasp-inducing leg-spin and a freaky-looking high-up bum-hold lift that gained her a Dancing On Ice score of 23.5 – a score that would have no doubt been higher if a) Lisa Scott-Lee had looked more sure of herself during her routine and b) she'd danced to something less explosively shit than the Katie Melua song she chose. Current Dancing On Ice betting odds – 5/1
