GEMMA Collins is deciding on her future options after finally being voted off Dancing on Ice.

The lassie needs to earn money soon. After that fall the other week, the ice rink’s planning to sue her for injuries sustained.

The GC isn’t the only one skating on thin ice.

Old footage of Ant & Dec in blackface on Saturday Night Takeaway has resurfaced.

Dec offered no excuse. Though Ant’s claiming his black face is just down to hunners of Guinness stains.

On even thinner ice is Brexit. Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn look set to hold further talks over leaving the EU because their respective Brexit policies appear to have something in common.

Mainly that not a single person in their parties agrees with them.

Elsewhere in Europe, five pictures said to have been painted by Adolf Hitler have failed to sell at auction in Germany.

Which has come as a surprise to many. When the bidding started, you would have thought his fans would have been only too keen to put their hands in the air.
