Jeremy Sheffield leaves 'Dancing On Ice'

Jeremy Sheffield has become the third celebrity to be voted off Dancing On Ice.


Sunday night was the first time the male and female contestants had performed in the same show.

However, after the judges' scores and viewers' votes had been added together, the actor found himself in the bottom two alongside Sharron Davies, who was in the skate-off for the second time.

Both contestants then had to repeat their routines in an attempt to persuade the panel to keep them in the competition.

Davies and her partner Pavel Aubrecht were first to take to the ice rink, followed by Sheffield and his partner Susie Lipanova.

Judges Karen Barber, Nicky Slater, Jason Gardiner, Emma Bunton and Robin Cousins then had to vote on who to save.

Barber, Slater and Gardiner opted to keep Davies in the competition, meaning that she was saved to skate on next week. Bunton and Cousins also revealed that they were planning to save Davies, meaning that Sheffield had to leave the show.

"I'm disappointed, obviously," Sheffield said. "After all that work. But I'm ever so slightly relieved that I'm not going to be in so much pain! I felt I'd just started to get up to speed."

Meanwhile, Lipanova praised him and said that he had worked "really hard".

Dancing On Ice continues next Sunday at 6.15pm on ITV1.
