Ray's Got The Ice Factor

Ray Quinn has won the fourth series of Dancing On Ice. The singer and West End star - who was the bookies' favourite for the title - beat Donal MacIntyre in the last part of the final show, after Jessica Taylor came third.

Ray, who had achieved perfect scores of 30 in his two rated dances in the final, exclaimed "yeah baby!" as he was given the winner's trophy. He won the show based on the final dance - The Bolero, famously danced by Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean on their way to Olympic glory - as the votes were reset once Jessica had made her exit. All the judges gushed their praise after each of Ray's three routines. Robin Cousins said: "You capture the love story. It blows me away."

The final saw the re-appearance of all the celebrity skaters on the ice, barring EastEnders' Gemma Bissix. They prepared for the show with months of gruelling training at up to 20 hours a week. Some, including former Blue Peter presenter Zoe Salmon and calamitous Todd Carty, will be taking part in the live tour. Despite showing little improvement skating-wise, former EastEnder Todd Carty got a huge cheer. But the night belonged to Ray Quinn; relive all the action as he skated to Dancing On Ice victory in our gallery.
