The brand new series of Dancing On Ice has been hit by controversy before it even reaches our screens.
The other dancers feel that GMTV's Michael Underwood has an unfair advantage as this will be the third time he has trained to take part in the show, reports The Sun.
Michael trained as a reserve for the 2007 series and then last year trained again when he was confirmed to take part in the show. However, he was forced to pull out after breaking his ankle during training so is being given another chance this year.
A Dancing On Ice source told The Sun: "Other stars are furious that while they were learning basics like starting and stopping, Michael was probably practising the headbanger. It's unfair and they told him they think so."
Michael has responded to the claims and said: "Yes, I can see why people say that. In some ways it's an advantage - but breaking your leg isn't. It takes a long time to get over that."
Do you think Michael should be allowed a third chance on the show - or is it unfair to the other skaters? Let us know what you think...

Posted by: vickyjsavage on Tue Jan 06 02:03PM | Report abuseWell, to be honest, I think that those who have competed before should not be allowed to compete again, even if they were unfortunate enough to break a leg. Unless I am sadly mistaken, did not Melinda Messenger compete before as well? Did she not have her professional partner staying with her at home? Or am I only imagining this!!! New people please, nice though I am sure Michael Underwood no doubt is!
