THERE are still tickets left for the matinee performance of Torvill & Dean's Dancing On Ice: The Bolero 25th Anniversary Tour at the Trent FM Arena on Wednesday.

The extra show was booked last week after the first two sold out.

Former winners Kyran Bracken and Suzanne Shaw, plus current Lord Of The Rink Ray Quinn (interviewed in EG last week), are among those competing. They'll be joined by recent contestants from the TV show: Jessica Taylor from Liberty X, Blue Peter presenter Zoe Salmon, ex-Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallet, TV presenter and ex model Melinda Messenger and former EastEnders/The Bill star Todd Carty.

Judging each performance will be Karen Barber, Robin Cousins, Ruthie Henshall, Nicky Slater and EG's Simon Wilson, while the host is Andi Peters.

It will be third time round for the tour – which opened in Sheffield last night – but this time it marks the 25th anniversary of Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean's Olympic gold medal-winning Bolero routine at the Sarajevo Winter Olympics.

Some of their ice skating costumes have gone on permanent display at the National Ice Centre, including those worn for the Barnum and Paso Doble routines.

All of the celebrities have been trained and choreographed by the pair, who will perform several of their famous routines.

Audiences will have a chance to vote for their favourite skating celebrity during each show by text. The votes will then be added to the scores from the judges to decide the winner.

As with the previous tours, all profits from text voting will go to charity -- more than £45,000 has been raised so far.

Performances are on Tuesday (7.30pm) and Wednesday (2.30pm and 7.30pm).

To book call 08700 112626 or visit www.dancingonicetour.co.uk

Tickets are from £32.50 – £45.00.
