Why is Heather Mills still in Dancing On Ice?

SO the woman possessed by a tree lives to skate again, while the woman who wore little more than a few leaves on X Factor was booted off Dancing On Ice.

Personally, I couldn't really care less whether Sharron Davies or Sinitta got through. I'm just sorry that Heather Mills wasn't in the skate-off.

She has clearly gone on the show in a bid to improve her public image. She wants us to forget about her unseemly money-grabbing behaviour during her divorce from Paul McCartney and be reminded about what she loves being famous for - the fact she's only got one leg but bravely carries on and devotes all her time to her charity work.

Sorry, but I still can't warm to her. Her whole demeanour is "Oh, just forget about my disability, it's nothing - except I'll go on about it all the time".

The new series is entertaining enough, but there's lots about it that annoys me. The way it's so drawn out, all the inane waving that goes on, and Jason Gardiner.

Unlike Craig Revel-Horwood on Strictly Come Dancing, who's actually a sweet bloke, Jason doesn't laugh when people make jokes about him. He really does have no sense of humour and his insults are gratuitously mean, saying Sharron is possessed by a tree because her 'angry arms' are like branches.

The show is also packed with cliches. You can play Dancing On Ice bingo and tick off when they come out with the inevitable phrases like "I just want to make my kids proud of me", "this is the best thing I've ever done", "I don't want to let my partner down" and "I'm out of my comfort zone".

The line-up is also predictable. Is it DOI law that they have to have an Emmerdale star in each series - Gaynor Faye, Emily Symons, Linda Lusardi, Roxanne Pallett and now Hayley Tamaddon - and team them with Daniel Whiston?
