'Dancing on Ice' Matthew Wolfenden, Jorgie Porter to try headbanger?

'Dancing on Ice' Matthew Wolfenden, Jorgie Porter to try headbanger?

Dancing on Ice stars Matthew Wolfenden and Jorgie Porter are to attempt the dangerous headbanger move this weekend, a source says.

The Emmerdale actor, who is dancing with Nina Ulanova, had already set his sights on the show's ultimate skating move earlier this month.

Meanwhile, Hollyoaks star Porter will also perform the stunt, despite having already successfully completed it with partner Matt Evers earlier this year.

"It's semi-final time and the pressure's on," a show insider told The Sun. "Everyone knows if you pull off the headbanger there is a strong chance the judges will reward you - and the public.

"The difference tomorrow is that with two couples doing it, the second one will be judged against the first."

Regarding Porter's chances of winning, the source added: "She's been doing really well but the nerves have been getting to her and making her stomach turn cartwheels. If she can just pull off the headbanger she will be in clover."

Wolfenden and Porter are the bookmakers' favourites to win the ITV competition, which ends next week.

Jennifer Ellison and Chico are the other contestants battling this weekend for a place in the grand final on March 25.

The Dancing on Ice semi-final airs between 7pm and 8.30pm on ITV1, with The Skate Off at 9.30pm.

Britain's Got Talent will beat The Voice UK when the pair go head-to-head next Saturday

Britain's Got Talent will beat The Voice UK when the pair go head-to-head next Saturday

William Hill is giving odds-on rates of 4/7 on the long-running talent show - starring a returning Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon - gaining a greater audience than the BBC's big-budget import, featuring will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones, Jessie J and Danny O'Donoghue.

However, The Voice's odds aren't that low for coming out on top, at 5/4.

"The odds suggest that Britain's Got Talent will pip The Voice to the finish line, but should enough people be intrigued by the format, The Voice could get over 10 million," said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly.

Both shows will overlap for 20 minutes between 8pm and 8.20pm on March 24, with The Voice getting a potentially important head start at 7pm.

Despite being down on its 19.2m peak in 2009, Britain's Got Talent has continued to perform well in the ratings.
