The anticipation was high as Dancing On Ice revealed the first couple to be eliminated from the show tonight. As the evening progressed, the tension mounted until finally, the unfortunate announcement was made.
Hollyoaks actress Chelsee Healey, 36, was the first celebrity to be eliminated from the ITV reality show. As Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern announced her departure, Chelsee became emotional and struggled to hold back her tears. Turning to her partner Andy Buchanan, she expressed her gratitude for the amazing experience, but also acknowledged that she had been dealing with personal struggles that affected her performance.
Fans of the soap star took to Twitter to express their disappointment with her departure, with many feeling that she did not deserve to be eliminated first. Chelsee and Andy had landed at the bottom of the leaderboard last week, with a score of 22, after their performance. And unfortunately, despite the support of her fans, they were unable to secure enough votes to keep them in the competition.
The judges and audience votes were combined to determine the fate of each couple, and Chelsee's score ultimately landed her in the bottom two against comedian Josh, who had received a 20.5 earlier in the night. In the end, it was Chelsee who had to say goodbye to the show.
But it wasn't all sadness and disappointment on tonight's episode. EastEnders star Charlie Brooks kicked off the show with an energetic performance alongside her partner Eric. And the judges were impressed with The Traitors star Mollie Pearce, who wowed them with her routine and scored an impressive 29.5 out of 40.
However, the evening wasn't without its challenges. Olympic legend Sir Steve Redgrave, 62, had to overcome an injury that had caused him to miss four weeks of training. But he persevered and delivered a solid performance in a sailor's outfit.
Meanwhile, Towie star Dan Edgar, 34, took on the challenge of skating to Ed Sheeran's hit song "Bad Habits," and stand-up comedian Josh Jones, 32, also hit the rink with determination.
Last week, viewers were treated to performances from celebrities such as Springwatch presenter Michaela Strachan, reality TV star Ferne McCann, Coronation Street actor Sam Aston, Love Island star Chris Taylor, and Chelsee.
But even though Chelsee may have been the first to leave, she still had a positive attitude and praised her partner Andy for being "amazing." And with more performances to come, there's no telling who will take home the coveted Dancing On Ice trophy. So make sure to tune in next week to see who will continue to impress the judges and audiences alike.
