Fourth time unlucky: Keith Chegwin loses out to Samia Ghadie in the skate-off as TV presenter is booted off Dancing on Ice
|
It was his fourth time in the skate-off but Keith Chegwin couldn't compete against Samia Ghadie and found himself voted out of Dancing on Ice on Sunday night.
The TV presenter was kicked off the show after failing to impress the judges with her skate-off skills with just Jason Gardiner voting to save him.
Keith didn't seem bitter about his defeat and said: 'I've waited a whole year to be on this show and it has not let me down.'

He praised his partner Olga Sharutenko and said: 'Olga has been such a treat.'
Keith's fate was sealed by head judge Robin Cousins after Ashley Roberts and Karen Barber both voted to keep Samia in the competition.
With just one vote for Keith from Jason, Robin gave his verdict and said: 'This is a skating competition, Samia you have proved you can skate.'

Robin Cousins told him: 'I just love how you commit to every single ounce of being that you have with every single performance that you give. The performance itself was terrific.'

The former EastEnders actor scooped a double win picking up the highest score of the series in the individual skate.
