Little is first to be booted from Ice show

MARK Little has become the first celebrity to leave Dancing On Ice.

The former Neighbours star was booted from the rink after a skate-off against Ryan Sidebottom in Sunday night’s show.

“I did my best,” said the Australian actor.

“I never imagined that I would do any of that, so I’m really really happy.”

He said ice-skating would be his new hobby.

Little and his professional partner Brianne Delcourt received the fewest number of votes in last week’s show, so had to compete against the lowest placed competitors in this week’s programme – cricketer Ryan and his professional partner Brandee Malto.

After both pairs skated again the judges each had to choose who to save, and they all chose to keep Ryan.

There are now 11 contestants remaining in the ITV competition.
