It's our last Dancing On Ice betting odds of the year, but don't be sad - there'll be another hopeless reality TV show that we secretly resent covering along soon. Big Brother probably. After Sunday, the ice rink will be rolled up, the skates melted for ammunition and Holly Willoughby's tits will be unscrewed and dry-frozen until next year. But you still have a chance to place a bet on the Dancing On Ice final. It's easy to do, and it might be the most important move you ever make that's based on a Sunday teatime ice-skating programme. Who'll win Sunday's Dancing On Ice final? Here are the Dancing On Ice betting odds for Chris Fountain, with help from Paddy Power...
Welcome to the start of the last two days of our Dancing On Ice betting odds for 2008. That's right, the Dancing On Ice final takes place on Sunday - and if you haven't placed a bet on the outcome, time is running out for you to do so. It couldn't be easier; a couple of clicks and you're away. And you deserve to win some money from Dancing On Ice, you know. Consider it compensation for watching the entire blinking series. Who's going to win Sunday's Dancing On Ice final? Here are the Dancing On Ice betting odds for Zaraah Abrahams and Suzanne Shaw, with help from Paddy Power...
Perhaps the greatest Christmas present a woman can receive is the gift of a gaudy mirrorball that looks like it was bought from a car boot sale, and that's what Alesha Dixon got after winning Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday.
Alesha Dixon won Strictly Come Dancing after a tense dance-off with her dancing rival Matt Di Angelo off EastEnders. Well, OK, maybe not tense - what with Alesha and Matt doing five dances each, all the old Strictly Come Dancing contestants doing a dance each, the Spice Girls singing a song accompanied by a dance and Bruce Forsyth doing a comedy song and dance number, watching the Strictly Come Dancing final felt a little bit like wading through treacle. But, hey, who cares - Alesha Dixon has now won Strictly Come Dancing and is now almost guaranteed to get this year's Christmas number one.
No, wait, that's the other one. What exactly do Strictly Come Dancing winners do again?
Remember when this series of X Factor started and everyone said that the final this year would be an orgy of megastardom, topped off with the triumphant live return of Michael Jackson?
Things haven't quite worked out that way. Instead, the special celebrity guests set to appear on Saturday's X Factor final are Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan - a woman with an underperforming album and a man most recently seen on TV advertising prawn rings with Kerry Katona during I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. We're going to have to invest in some lead-lined sunglasses before Saturday's X Factor final, in case the incandescent star wattage of two people who recorded an ironic Christmas power ballad together 19 years ago burns our eyeballs into raisins.
How wrong were we? Niki Evans - the singer who we were convinced would come second in this year's X Factor - actually ended up coming fourth in this year's X Factor; the same as The MacDonald Brothers did last year, the lucky cow. In hindsight, though, it was no surprise that Niki Evans got voted off X Factor so early. No matter how proficient they are, older ladies never make it to the X Factor final - especially ones like Niki, who think that they can get away with opening shows by murmuring out dreary Eva Cassidy covers and then get all indignant because nobody seems to like it much. Still, at least now that Niki Evans has been eliminated from X Factor the show's prop department can put away those horrible black candlesticks that appear to have been stolen from the set of a 1970s low-budget European movie about sexy vampires. But without Niki Evans in it, who'll win the X Factor final on Saturday? Here's part one of this week's X Factor betting odds - for Same Difference and Leon Jackson - with help from Paddy Power...
