With the final only a few days away, Dancing On Ice fever has officially hit the heatworld office. Yesterday we asked you who YOU thought deserved to skate away with the top prize, and a huge majority of you voted for bookies' favourite Ray Quinn. But it's not only the betting experts and the fabulous users of heatworld who think Ray's got it in the bag – skating legend and DOI mentor Christopher Dean is also convinced the former X Factor star is leagues ahead of his fellow competitors. "He has been the strongest skater from the start," says Christopher. "Ray is a natural talent. Chris Fountain [from last year's series] was a very strong skater, but with Ray you can be very creative and he can pick up the routines quickly." Despite all this praise, Ray himself is said to be "very nervous" about this weekend's final after failing to grasp the high-wire training he's been doing. "I am scared of heights!" Ray explains. "Fingers crossed it will be OK. It is just an honour to be in the final." Do you agree with Christopher that Ray Quinn is better than Chris Fountain? Have a little look at the two clips below and tell us what you think.
