Sinitta loses out after a ripping show

SINGER Sinitta was the first celebrity to be voted off Dancing on Ice last night after a costly mistake in the skate-off.

The So Macho pop star, 41, ripped her ice skating partner Andrei Lipanov's trousers when a lift went wrong.

After being told she was leaving the ITV1 show, a shocked Sinitta said: "I had such high hopes for this. I was starting to love it. I can hardly speak."

The first live show in the new series saw the seven female celebrities try to impress the judges.

Next week, it will be the turn of the seven men taking part.

Sinitta took to the rink for the skate-off after being told she was in the bottom two . Joining her in the bid to avoid elimination was Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies.
