Gaynor Faye, Chris Fountain, Mikey Graham and Ray Quinn, to headline fourth UK Tour.

After wowing more than 750,000 people across the country in previous years with stunning ice performances, skating legends Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean will embark on a fourth live UK tour of Dancing on Ice which starts on Thursday 8th April 2010 in Sheffield.

Torvill & Dean will be joined by former Dancing on Ice contestants Gaynor Faye, Chris Fountain, Mikey Graham and Ray Quinn. Ray was crowned the winner of the last series and following that won almost every night on the tour. Gaynor Faye was winner of the first series, whilst Chris Fountain was a runner up in the third series. Mikey Graham is dancing in the current series and receiving great comments from the judges; he is ranked in second place in the series scoring at present.

Gaynor Faye will be joining us here on Gay Radio UK, Wednesday 3rd March, from 8pm to talk about the forthcoming tour.

All of the celebrities will be trained and choreographed by Torvill & Dean, who will also perform on the tour. More celebrities will be announced soon.

The five-week UK tour will travel to Arenas in Sheffield, Newcastle, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Birmingham and Belfast.  At each performance the audience will have a chance to vote for their favourite skating celebrity.  Replicating the format of the hit ITV1 show, they will be able to use their mobile phone to text vote for their favourite dancing couple.  The audience votes will then be added to the scores from the Judges to decide the winner.  Once the votes have been counted, the winning celebrity will join their skating partner to perform a magical finale.   As with the previous tours, all profits from text voting will go to charity, more than £80,000 has been raised to date.

BBC television presenter Kristian Digby has been found dead at a flat in east London, police have said.

The 32-year-old presenter was best known for the BBC One property programme To Buy or Not To buy.

Mr Digby, who co-presented the show, was pronounced dead at the scene when ambulance services arrived at his flat in Richford Road, Newham, earlier.

Police sources described the circumstances surrounding his death on Monday morning as "unexplained".

His body was found at about 0745 GMT on Monday. His next of kin have been informed.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "Police were called to reports of a body of a man in his 30s found at an address in Richford Road, E15.

"Ambulance services attended and life was pronounced extinct."

The property expert, who was born into a family of property developers and worked in several property shows including Double Agents, Living In The Sun, House Swap and Buy It, Sell It, Bank It, was also a film director.

His short film Last Train to Demise won the Melbourne Film Festival Best Student Film in 1998 and Words of Deception won him a junior Bafta in 1997.
