Steve Backley out of Dancing on Ice

Olympic javelin thrower Steve Backley has become the latest celebrity to be voted off 'Dancing on Ice'.
Backley, who took part in the series despite having a prosthetic hip, lost out to former 'Coronation Street' star Zaraah Abrahams in last night's skate-off between the bottom two contestants.
Backley said afterwards: "I'm disappointed to go and there is no getting away from that. I am gutted."
"Having the prosthetic hip is a big deal, my stumbling block is getting over that but I am delighted to have got this far."
