This Sunday night (February 11) marked the return of musicals week on Dancing on Ice - and the ITV skating show wasn't short of drama. Amidst Amber Davies' headbanger and two joint top-scores of the series from Amber and Miles Nazaire, the show ended with a double elimination which saw two celebrities sent packing.
Emmerdale actress Roxy Shahid was eliminated from the contest immediately after receiving the fewest public votes. EastEnders actor Ricky Norwood then found himself in the skate-off alongside comedian Lou Sanders. After both celebrities performed with their pro partners, the judges chose to save Ricky, which meant Lou joined Roxy in leaving the competition.
A total of five celebs have now been knocked out of the skating contest, with boxing champ Ricky Hatton being the first to leave. He was followed by singer and actor Hannah Spearritt in week three, and soap actor Claire Sweeney, who was eliminated last week.
