Dancing On Ice lovebirds Sam Attwater and Chloe Madeley

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Snuggled up: Chloe Madeley hangs on to new boyfriend Sam Attwater as they go for lunch in Birmingham


They're remained coy about their relationship since it was 'outed' earlier this month.

But it appears Dancing On Ice couple Sam Attwater and Chloe Madeley are crazy about each other and don't care who knows it.

After weeks of keeping things low-key, the pair kissed and cuddled as they enjoyed an alfresco lunch in Birmingham yesterday.


Happy together: Madeley and Attwater share a laugh over their lunch


Looking dressed down as they relaxed ahead of the Dancing On Ice live tour, the couple strolled through the city centre holding hands.

Then as they sat in a branch of Cafe Rouge for lunch, Attwater, 25, and Madeley, 22, appeared more interested in each other than what was in the menu.

They cuddled in their seats, and then snuck in a cheeky snog when they went inside to pay the bill.


Tender: Attwater plants a kiss on Madeley's forehead as they wait for their lunch to arrive


A month ago, she and Crickmar did a joint interview for Hello! magazine.

Chloe said: 'We have a conversation every day about how serious we are.

'He makes me laugh and is a gentleman.'


Smooch: The couple then enjoyed a kiss as they tried to sneak away from the cameras


However, after breaking up from Crickmar, she is now taking things slowly with ex-EastEnder Attwater.

She said: 'The friendship with Sam just developed.

'We're practically the same age, we laugh at the same things and, of course, we have the skating in common.

'We've been thrown together now for months, and we will still be seeing each other every day on tour, so who knows where it's all leading?'

First pictures of Dancing On Ice lovebirds Chloe Madeley and Sam Attwater as pair officially confirm relationship

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Loved-up: The first pictures of Dancing On Ice lovebirds Sam Attwater and Chloe Madeley have emerged


There were more than a few doubts when it was revealed Dancing On Ice contestants Chloe Madeley and Sam Attwater had started dating.

But the pair looked every inch love's young dream as they stepped out in Birmingham today.

While the new couple did their best to avoid being photographed hand-in-hand, they couldn't hide their genuine affection for each other as they strolled along ahead of their Dancing On Ice tour performance in the evening.


Going well: The pair were seen out shopping together in Birmingham


It seems things are going well for the lovebirds, as Dancing On Ice winner Sam recently revealed he had already met Chloe's famous parents Richard and Judy, labelling them 'great'.

A source told the Daily Mirror: 'Richard and Judy were keen to meet Sam. They take an avid interest in Chloe's life and they wanted to get to know the new man in her life.

'They invited him to their home for coffee. Sam was nervous but they made him feel at ease, chatting on their sofas.'


Cosy: Crew on the Dancing On Ice tour have dubbed the pair, pictured with Laura Hamilton, 'Chlam'


It was revealed earlier this month that Sam, 24, and Chloe, 23, had started dating, just days after Chloe declared her love for now ex-boyfriend Glenn Crickmar in an interview for Hello! magazine.

As she and Glenn posed together for the magazine, Chloe said: 'We have a conversation every day about how serious we are.

'He makes me laugh and is a gentleman.'

Doubts about the validity of Chloe and Sam's relationship stemmed from the fact that Sam was pictured in a steamy clinch with married fellow iceskater Alexandra Shauman in February, despite a series of photoshoots making out that partner Brianne Delcourt was his girlfriend.



'Serious' relationship: Chloe, pictured with Glenn in January, told Hello! magazine how Glenn, 24, is 'a gentleman'


He was accused of trying to increase his popularity after witnessing other couples such as Kara Tointon and Artem Chigvintsev win Stictly Come Dancing and is said to have had to apologise to show bosses.

But Sam claimed that it was no 'faux-mance' at the time.

He told Heat magazine: ''When we did the interview, Brianne and I were together, but we’re not now. Everything we said was true.'

He claimed: 'We broke up after the Heat shoot, actually. We knew it would be great and we loved doing it, but we thought the skating might get ignored among all the press about our romance, so we decided to slow down.'

Sam Attwater wins Dancing On Ice 2011

By JODY THOMPSON

Winner: Former EastEnders star Sam Attwater lifted the Dancing On Ice 2011 trophy after skating a 'passionate' Bolero with partner Brianne Delcourt


Former EastEnders star Sam Attwater was crowned the Dancing On Ice 2011 champion after one of the tightest grand finals the show has ever seen

The 24-year-actor won the public's hearts with his 'passionate' version of show star's Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean's Bolero - despite accidentally leaving his hand on her breast at the end as they sprawled on the ice.

Sam gushed about Brianne, 29, too as he lifted the winner's trophy, saying: 'I've had the time of my life. I've made a friend for life and I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for Brianne.'


High five: The pair were thrilled to be crowned champions - and Sam dedicated his win to Brianne, who he said would be a 'friend for life'


The pair won through with their consistently good skating since the show started in January and Sam had been the bookies' favourite since day one.

However, they had caused controversy earlier in the show's run over accusations they had tried to manipulate viewers with a 'faux-mance' between themselves.

In February, they had told show host Phillip Schofield they were 'an item' as they conducted a series of photoshoots in glossy magazines, even posing in bed with just their ice skates and giving quotes saying they ‘loved each other to bits’ and had met each other’s parents.

Hair raising! Jason Gardiner reveals new £12,000 hair transplant as Laura Hamilton scores perfect 10s on Dancing On Ice final

By JODY THOMPSON

Hair today: The previously bald Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner revealed the results of his £12,000 hair transplant live on the show's grand final tonight


It's a secret he'd literally been keeping under his hat - but tonight Dancing On Ice's acid-tongued judge Jason Gardiner unveiled his new hair transplant live during the grand final.

The 39-year-old Australian was so bowled over by children's TV presenter Laura Hamilton's performance on the rink that he doffed his trilby to her - and revealed the layer of dark brown growth on his previously shiny pate.

Jason flashed the fuzz after Laura and partner Colin Ratushniak landed straight 10s from all three judges for their routine to the Pointer Sisters' I'm So Excited.


Hats off: The judge decided to literally take his hat off in salute to Laura Hamilton's perfect 10s after her routine in the grand final to The Pointer Sisters I'm So Excited

As he shocked the crowd with his unveiling, he said: 'Laura I have to say I take my hat off to you - incredible! You have just proven why you are in this competition. You just took it to another level.'


Before: Jason, pictured here in January, had an almost entirely bald head before undergoing his hair transplant


Surprised co-host Holly Willoughby gasped afterwards: 'I'm almost sepeechless about what was under the hat!'

It's understood Jason spent £12,000 on the procedure where follicles are taken from the back of the head on embedded into the crown.

It had been rumoured before the final that the judge would be unveiling his thatch on the show, but that was denied by host Phillip Schofield at the start.


Hair we go: Jason Gardiner was so impressed with Laura that he revealed his new hair transplant in her honour - but the public voted for Sam


The remaining two couples, Sam Attwater and Brianne Delcourt and Laura and Colin were then left to battle it out and skate the routine made famous by the show's chief coaches, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean - the legendary Bolero.

Judges votes no longer counted - and it was solely down to the public to decided who would be the Dancing On Ice 2011 champion - and they decided on Sam, despite Laura's perfect 10s.

As he and Holly addressed the viewers, he said that instead Jason would be debuting his new do on tomorrow's This Morning - however, he was soon proved wrong to the delight of the studio audience.

Jason had been enthusing about his new thatch on his official Twitter page earlier in the day - and revealed he was already preparing to have a second operation.

He told his 60,000 followers: 'I will have a second one in order to get back all the hair I lost. The medical technology these days is just remarkable!

'It is quite miraculous what they can do these days. Dr Ziering is a genius! x Thank you I'm very happy with the results.'

Mail Online can reveal that the Dr Ziering in question has more than 19 years of experience as a hair transplant surgeon based in Southern California, at Beverly Hills and Newport Beach, and in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It's not known exactly when and which clinic Jason had the operation in however.

Chloe Madeley meanwhile denied that she had needed a rink-side psychothearapist to overcome her nerves ahead of the final.

The show's announcer revealed: 'She said that the only shrink she needs is bubble wrap around her bruises.'

Hair we go: Jason Gardiner was so impressed with Laura that he revealed his new hair transplant in her honour - but the public voted for Sam


Chloe's father Richard Madeley, who was sat in the audience with wife Judy Finnegan, also heckled the judges at one point after he felt they marked her too low for her routine to (I've Had) The Time Of My Life from Dirty Dancing.

Richard's heckling wasn't enough to save his daughter however, and after the first public vote, she was off the show, meaning she landed first place on the show.

The remaining two couples, Sam Attwater and Brianne Delcourt and Laura and Colin were then left to battle it out and skate the routine made famous by the show's chief coaches, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean - the legendary Bolero.

Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner will return next year... but only for the right price

By Daily Mail Reporter


Pay me double - or I'll quit: Jason Gardiner is believed to have told Dancing On Ice bosses that if they want him back next year, they'll need to give him a big pay rise


He's made just as many headlines as the contestants with his outspoken and sometime scathing views.

And ITV bosses have cited Jason Gardiner as one of the reasons behind this season's high ratings, as viewers tune in hoping he will get into a row with a contestant, their friends and family, or one of his fellow judges.

But Gardiner, 39, is believed to have given the show's bosses and ultimatum and has demanded they pay him double his pay - or he'll walk.


The Australian choreographer, who is paid £100,000 to be a judge, wants double that to return to the panel next year, according to the People.

He said: 'I AM that show. Without me it is dull. I know they want me on the next series but they are going to have to pay what I’m worth.'

And yesterday a source on the show, which has pulled in an average of seven million viewers every week this series, said: 'ITV will pull out all the stops to keep Jason. He’s driven the show more than ever this series.

'His run-ins with Karen Barber and Tim Healy have been the most talked about episodes. Viewers may not ­always like what he says, but they also want to hear his opinions.

You're opinions don't matter: Gardiner reduced head coach Karen Barber ot tears after they got into a row after he gave low points to contestant Johnson Beharry VC


'The top brass realise they need to start talking about Jason’s future here. Money will be an issue. It now all depends on whether there is enough dough in the budget to complete the sort of deal we know Jason is after.'

But according to the Daily Star Sunday, Gardiner will be getting £135,000 next year, which will making him the highest paid judge.

he has hit the headlines this season after a run-in with head coach Karen Barber, who he left 'inconsolable' after telling her opinions 'did not matter'.

He hit out at Tim Healy, husband of departing skater Denise Welch, after he confronted him at the judges desk berating him for his critical comments about his wife.

Gardiner turned his head away and later took to his Twitter page and wrote that Healy stank of ‘stale p*** and alcohol’.


Listen, pal: Gardiner got a ticking off from Denise Welch's partner Tim Healy - but waved the actor away and said 'Oh my God, your breath!'

'Nervous wreck' Chloe Madeley fears she'll crack under pressure in Dancing On Ice final

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Finalists: Laura Hamilton, Sam Attwater and Cloe Madeley will battle it out in the Dancing On Ice final tomorrow night


Chloe Madeley might have made it to the grand finals but the Dancing On Ice star is worried she’ll crack under pressure.

The daughter of TV’s Richard and Judy is said to be a ‘nervous wreck’ over tomorrow’s final and fears she’ll mess up the lift which she hopes to bring her victory.

The 24-year-old is hoping to dazzle judges on the ITV1 show with a sexy Dirty Dancing routine.


Impressive moves: Chloe impressed earlier in the series with dance moves like these ones


Chloe and her dance partner Michael Zenezini will try to recreate the lift that Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey made famous in the 1987 hit film.

But if it goes wrong, her dream of winning the competition will be shattered and a show source says she’s ‘really scared’.


Injuries: Sam Attwater crashed into the ice during rehearsals earlier in the week, leaving his with sprained ribs and slashed knuckle


The former EastEnders star crashed into the ice during rehearsals earlier in the week, leaving his with sprained ribs and slashed knuckles.

‘I was doing a lift where I’m lifting two girls and then I just went and the way I landed I tried to save both the girls and went down and sprained my ribs and got a blade across my knuckles,’ he said.

But despite his fall, Sam is still the bookies’ favourite to win the dance-off against Chloe and Laura Hamilton.

Sam, 24, is set to dance to Footloose, while 28-year-old Laura is planning to shine while dancing to Madonna’s Express Yourself.

But children’s TV presenter Laura is also said to be scared that her fan base isn’t strong enough

She said: ‘Of course I was worried the fact not many people knew me could go against me.

‘I always knew from week one when it was completely down to the public vote that we’d struggle to make it through.



Worried: TV presenter Laura is also said to be scared that her fan base isn't strong enough to win


‘You don’t know how the public have taken to you – that’s why we didn’t expect to get this far.’

Meanwhile, Chloe said of her routine: ‘I have lots of boys in my showcase and lots of lifts.

‘There’s pressure from all these men telling me to get it right. I don’t want to injure anyone and I find it quite overwhelming.’

The Dancing On Ice final kicks off tomorrow at 7:40pm on ITV1

Injuries: Sam Attwater crashed into the ice during rehearsals earlier in the week, leaving his with sprained ribs and slashed knuckle


The former EastEnders star crashed into the ice during rehearsals earlier in the week, leaving his with sprained ribs and slashed knuckles.

‘I was doing a lift where I’m lifting two girls and then I just went and the way I landed I tried to save both the girls and went down and sprained my ribs and got a blade across my knuckles,’ he said.

But despite his fall, Sam is still the bookies’ favourite to win the dance-off against Chloe and Laura Hamilton.

Sam, 24, is set to dance to Footloose, while 28-year-old Laura is planning to shine while dancing to Madonna’s Express Yourself.

But children’s TV presenter Laura is also said to be scared that her fan base isn’t strong enough

She said: ‘Of course I was worried the fact not many people knew me could go against me.

‘I always knew from week one when it was completely down to the public vote that we’d struggle to make it through.

‘You don’t know how the public have taken to you – that’s why we didn’t expect to get this far.’

Meanwhile, Chloe said of her routine: ‘I have lots of boys in my showcase and lots of lifts.

‘There’s pressure from all these men telling me to get it right. I don’t want to injure anyone and I find it quite overwhelming.’

The Dancing On Ice final kicks off tomorrow at 7:40pm on ITV1
