FOX - ULRIKA SLIPS OFF DANCING ON ICE

Ulrika Johnson has become the third celebrity to leave Dancing On Ice.

The Swedish-born TV star's dance to Oh Pretty Woman was not enough to impress the judges, in spite of the fetching yellow number she was wearing.

Instead the dance-off resulted in her departure from the show, with only one judge wanting rival Kay Burley to exit instead of her.

"Based on the amount of work I put in, I really wanted to stay," she said.

"I'm going to be really sad to leave this group. They're wonderful. But every cloud has a silver lining, and I'll get to see a lot more of my kids."

Johnson had struggled throughout the training stage for this week's dance, with the one-footed spin proving especially difficult for her to master.

She joins DJ Neil Fox and newsman Phil Gayle as those who have left the show. Still in the running – or should that be skating – are Kyran Bracken, Clare Buckfield, Stephen Gately, Duncan James, Lisa Scott-Lee, Lee Sharpe and Emily Symons.
