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

There are two distinct Dancing On Ice groups forming at the moment – the good skaters and the crap ones. And Tim Vincent represented the latter so convincingly that he was eliminated last night.

And there was us thinking that Blue Peter presenters were meant to be daredevils who can achieve anything by the power of positive thinking. Obviously that can’t be true, though – having seen what Tim Vincent was like on Dancing On Ice it seems that Blue Peter presenters are shit at everything and look scared all the time and then complain because they’re so shit. Having said that, the Dancing On Ice required element went flawlessly last night – or at least it would have done if the required element was the ‘One Semi-Spin, Massive Wobble And Defeatist Shrug’ because that’s what he did, and it was Olympian.

Steve Backley – We feel for Steve Backley, you know. The poor man used to be a world leader in throwing big pointy sticks, and then on last week’s Dancing On Ice he was voted as only slightly better than the dirty house woman off the telly. It’s his centre of gravity that’s Steve Backley’s problem, obviously – when you’re as big as him, you tend to fall over if a sparrow coughs in your direction from 20 feet away. And for this week’s Dancing On Ice performance to Uptown Girl, Steve was given a pep-talk by last year’s winner Kyran Bracken. Did it help? Not really, it was just as useless and out of time as usual. Steve was told that he a good ‘spiral leg’, though. We think we had a cousin who died from that once. SCORE – 17 – Current Dancing On Ice betting odds – 66/1

Last night, Aggie Mackenzie skated off Dancing On Ice – or at least she would have done if she was actually able to skate, which we've seen no proof of yet.

Possibly best known as the woman who tuts at dirt with her friend that looks like an eight-foot-tall transvestite Marge Simpson impersonator, Aggie Mackenzie was finally put out of her misery on last night's Dancing On Ice. Her routine to I Feel Pretty yesterday was further proof that she should probably stick to pointing at muck. It was uneven, it didn't actually involve any skating for the most part and – worst of all – Aggie stacked it. As they say, God loves a trier. It's just a shame that the creepy camp bald judge bloke doesn't.

Who's going to win Dancing On Ice? Here are the Dancing On Ice betting odds for Steve Backley, with help from Paddy Power…

Steve Backley – Although Steve Backley is already a sporting legend for being able to throw a stick quite far but not as far as that other guy, he's decided for some reason to try his luck at Dancing On Ice. Trouble is, you see, that Steve Backley is over 12 metres tall and his centre of gravity seems to be located in his hair. There's a chance that all Steve Backley's Dancing On Ice jolts and wobbles are deliberate, but somehow we get the feeling they're not. And nor were Steve's seasick lurches throughout Sunday's routine to Hello Dolly. His confidence seemed to be torn to shreds and he's giving the impression of someone not long for the competition. And no amount of dressing like a fox hunter can mask that. SCORE – 14.5 – Current Dancing On Ice betting odds – 33/1
