DANCING ON ICE: PHOTOS

The girls and boys united on the ice for the first time this series, in a glittering array of skating talent and terrific topples.

Let's relive the magic as 11 became 10...

And here it is - the moment that has had everyone talking since he stepped foot on the ice on Sunday.

Todd Carty's hilarious choreographed ice exit became a hysterical lunge into the set and several sound men as he stumbled towards the tunnel at a rate of knots.

Genius.

And here's another man who caused a stir on the rink.

Ray Quinn dazzled once again, and was branded one of "the best ever" skaters we've had on the show. God job Ray!

Whilst she was dancing to her wedding song during the show, we're not sure that Jessica Taylor and hubby Kevin Pietersen completed this move on their big day itself!

Who better to show her bottle by bopping to Christina Aguilera than bubbly Roxanne?

After a tense afternoon of tumbles, Michael did himself proud and lived up to his Alphabeat track on the ice.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO! It's Melinda Messenger atop partner Fred's burly shoulders!

The star stunned in her aquatic sparkly garb.

Despite a stumble right in front of the judges, Zoe recovered like a pro.

We were all as surprised as Frankie is in this snap when Ellery found himself in the skate-off.

Describing his skating experience as being scarier than any of his brushes with gangsters, Donal sailed through to next week.

... after several ballet lessons!

She finally loves it people! Yes, this week's beautiful routine was a turning point for Loose Woman Coleen, who no longer cares about her age of fears on the ice.

Bring on next week, we say!

He told us that he felt like he'd nailed it after his first performance, but Jeremy nevertheless lost out to unanimous votes in the skate-off v Ellery.

At least he can get onto that tableplan for his wedding in May!
