PERRI DANGER MOVE

-

DANCER Perri Kiely has been keeping a killer move on ice for tonight’s final.

The bookies favourite has been working on something special under the guidance of fellow Diversity member and show judge Ashley Banjo.

And Perri’s pro partner Vanessa Bauer is certainly impressed by the move, which she reckons will stun viewers.

She said: “It is really dangerous and really spectacula­r, 100 per cent it will go down in TV history.”

Perri, 24, who is tipped to lift the Dancing on Ice trophy, admitted he needed some guidance from Ashley.

The pair have been part of a team since their dance troupe

Diversity won Britain’s Got

Talent in 2009.

Perri said: “I did need Ash there at the first two sessions. He knows whether I can do something or am just saying I can’t. He was like, ‘You can, just do it’. A lot of people put me in bubble wrap. I always need Ash to be like, ‘No, you’ve got this’, so I went up to him and gave him a high five. He is still 100 per cent my mentor. I need Ash.”

Perri warned that if the move goes wrong, he could break his back.

He said: “ITV wanted me to do it but they wanted to make sure I done it safely. “In the world I come from, I throw myself around and if I get hurt I get up and try again. When you’re on the ice it’s a different story.”

Perri told how he feels more pressure to do well on the show because of his dance background.

He said: “The stage everyone thinks I am at, I definitely have to push past that. I do not know how I am going to do anything better. “If I can pull it off, I feel like that will be mine – I’ve won.”
