Actor and comedian Bobby Davro became the latest star to be voted off Dancing on Ice.

He is the second celebrity to leave the skating show and the first male to leave the competition.

The 50-year-old found himself in the skate-off, against The Bill actor Gary Lucy, after skating to George Harrison's 'I've Got My Mind Set On You'.

However, the judges unanimously chose to save Lucy based on technical ability.

On leaving the show the pantomime regular said: "Obviously, I'm disappointed. You've got to be the best skater to win this show - I tried my best."

Judge newcomer Emma Bunton said: "Bobby really made me laugh, but this is Dancing on Ice, not Comedy on Ice."

Former singer Sinitta was the first to be voted off the new series.
