Steve Backley's 'gutting' exit

5 months ago 18th Feb 13:00

Steve Backley was voted off 'Dancing On Ice' last night (17.02.08).

The former javelin star was "gutted" when he lost out in a skate-off with actress Zaraah Abrahams after the pair were left in the bottom two.

Steve - who took part in the reality ice-dancing contest despite having a prosthetic hip - said: "I am disappointed and there is no getting away from that - I am gutted.

"Having the prosthetic hip is a big deal, my stumbling block is getting over that, but I am delighted I got this far."

Following yesterday's show the judges Nicky Slater and Karen Barber reportedly had to be separated after a row over scoring turned ugly.

An ITV source revealed: "Four of them gave Suzanne really high marks, but Nicky only gave her four out of six.

"They were talking quite heatedly and when it cut to a commercial break, it all kicked off.
