It had to happen sooner or later – after a month of being told he’s a great big graceless clot, Steve Backley was voted off Dancing On Ice last night.

Perhaps the fact that Steve Backley wasn’t completely hopeless during his routine to My Girl last night did him in. After all, everyone loves the underdog, especially the underdog with no real sense of timing or balance – but as soon as Steve started to show an ounce of skill, the fun went out of it. Take the fun away and what are you left with? A boring routine performed by a giant dressed in a £2.99 Clare’s Accessories purse, that’s what.

So who’ll win Dancing On Ice? Here are the Dancing On Ice betting odds for Greg Rusedski, with help from Paddy Power…

Greg Rusedski – Greg Rusedski is on an upwards curve, that’s for sure – he’s gone from being impossibly useless all the way to the giddy heights of horribly sucky. The big question ahead of Sunday’s Dancing On Ice was whether or not he could improve on last week’s effort. It wasn’t a particularly hard task, since last week’s routine looked like a toddler having an icebound epileptic fit. Sadly, though, on Sunday’s Dancing On Ice Greg made a mess of just about everything. His routine to Hey Jude was slow and lifeless, he was dressed up as a gay nutcracker and everything was carried out with a hopelessly gormless expression plastered all over his chinny face. Plus he got the worst score of the night, but he’s probably used to that. We’ve seen him play tennis. SCORE – 16 - Current Dancing On Ice betting odds – 50/1
