Second celebrity voted off Dancing on Ice

Ria Hebden has been eliminated from Dancing on Ice in "movie week" after appearing in the second skate-off.

The presenter failed to impress the judges after receiving the fewest votes from the public alongside singer Rachel Stevens and returned for her second skate-off of the ITV series.

Judges Oti Mabuse, Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean and Ashley Banjo unanimously chose to save former S Club 7 star Stevens, who will next perform in "dance week".

During the skate-off, Hebden, 39, performed an upbeat dance to Me! by Taylor Swift while Stevens delivered a "smooth" routine after returning from an injury.

After her performance with partner Lukasz Rózycki, Hebden said: "I hope it has brightened up your Sunday evening because we have had the time of our lives.

"I am lost for words, it is such a magical show."

Sunday's show saw all 10 contestants skate, apart from Olympian Kye Whyte who sustained an injury during rehearsals and was unable to perform.

The episode also saw Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, 39, secure the highest score of the series so far with a routine to a track from the musical The Greatest Showman.

The judges awarded the American singer, who opened the show dangling from an acrobatic ring, 34 points out of a possible 40.

Rugby player Ben Foden was the first celebrity contestant to be eliminated from the skating show last week.
