West End ice advice for Gareth Gates

Bonnie Langford revealed the secret behind Gareth Gates’ convincing Chicago inspired ice performance last night - visits to the West End’s current Billy Flynn - Duncan James.

Bonnie, who is performing in Chicago alongside Duncan, told GMTV’s Lorraine Kelly just how serious Gareth took his musical Dancing on Ice routine, saying: "Gareth came into the show the other day and worked with Duncan. He got a few tips and I think he took it onboard… he was definitely trying to be Billy Flynn."

Having stared in the first series of Dancing on Ice, Bonnie talked of her surprise at Linda Lusardi’s recent comments about being envious of her bum.

"I won’t tell you what I texted back to her," said Bonnie, "But she has other assets that I don’t."
