Christine Bleakley’s banned from ice-skating

London, Feb 14: Christine Bleakley, who spends each Sunday watching celebrity skaters on her dance reality show, is not allowed anywhere near the ice.

The host of ‘Dancing On Ice’ herself can’t go on the ice, because if she has an accident the show will be thrown into chaos.

“She can wear skates but she’s not allowed to touch the ice during the shoot,” the Mirror quoted an organiser as saying.

“Health and safety won’t allow it. And this isn’t negotiable,” the organiser said.

However, for a photoshoot, an elaborate alleyway of white carpet was laid on top of the white stuff and head coach Karen Barber was on hand to help her move around.

But when Bleakley attempted to put one foot on the ice, a health and safety official reacted quickly.

“Christine, we’re not joking. You’re not skating,” the official said.

Bleakley expressed her disappointment at not being able to skate.

“This is just great. It’s like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey and it not being able to take a bite!” she added. (ANI)
