Dancing on Ice may have spent the entire series trying to keep up with the rapid pace of reality TV but really we all know that it's wonderfully behind the times. Which is presumably why they decided to do a Circus themed night, years after Britney and Take That briefly brought those arenas of freakery and animal cruelty back to everyone's attention.
The excuse for being so woefully out-of-touch? It was props week, and obviously they couldn't just give people a few props to skate with without trying to tie the whole thing together with an overarching theme. Even though that's exactly what they've done every other year.
They needn?t have bothered though, because Louie Spence was determined to make the show all about him and his potentially incorrect opinions and supposedly shockingly low marks. Unfortunately for Louie, though, the rest of the celebs were determined to be equally shocking and appalling.
Oh yeah, everyone's gone crazy bananas ever since Simon Cowell allowed the public to cast Lucie Jones back to her dreary Welsh village, where she can forever plat people?s hair, and regale them with tales about the time she wore razor-cut denim, and sung a song that no one had ever heard of.
