Louie
Spence Joins Dancing On Ice
Louie Spence is to replace acid-tongued Jason Gardiner in a
shake-up of judges on ITV1's skating show Dancing On Ice.
In another major change for the judging panel, Olympic figure skating
champion Katarina Witt will take the place of Emma Bunton.
The pair will join head judge Robin Cousins, who returns to the panel once
more when the show returns in the New Year.
Spence said: "I'm looking forward to being part of such a
challenging and spectacular show, and can't wait to give my encouragement
and critique on the contestants' dance and performance on the ice."
New judge Katarina dominated figure skating for more than a decade, winning
Olympic golds in 1984 and 1988, and she also went on to win an Emmy for the
1990 film Carmen on Ice.
She said: "I can't wait to join the Dancing On Ice judging panel. As well as
offering support and constructive advice to this year's celebrity skaters
I'm also looking forward to working alongside my close friends Torvill and
Dean."
Layla Smith, ITV's controller of entertainment, said of the new arrivals:
"The pair have a wealth of experience which they will be bringing to the new
series. Their unique flare and passion for their professions will doubtless
make for some interesting debates."
She added: "We'd like to thank Emma Bunton and Jason Gardiner for their
valued contribution during previous series and wish them both all the best
with their future projects."
