Last summer he explained that he “seriously thought [he] was going to die” as a result of the virus, saying he “couldn’t breathe”.The Dancing On Ice judging panel scored Bez and Egan 12.5 points out of a possible 40, though the pair’s performance was a hit with viewers.Bez wore full protective gear, including a helmet designed to look like a melon – a nod to the iconic ‘Step On’ line “You’re twistin’ my melon, man”.A pair of giant maracas were displayed at the back of the ice rink, while dancers dressed as slices of watermelon joined the pair later in the performance.
Bez’ Mondays bandmate Shaun Ryder, meanwhile, appeared in the audience. Ahead of the Dancing On Ice premiere, host Philip Schofield revealed that Bez had suffered a “dangerous” accident during a practice session.
