Dancing On Ice’s Phillip Schofield red-faced as shadow blunder makes it look like he has ‘wet himself’ in backstage snap
PHILLIP Schofield was left red-faced after a shadow blunder made it look like he'd "wet himself" in a behind-the-scenes Dancing On Ice snap. The 58-year-old star shared the hilarious image to his Instagram Story after tonight's live show - and thankfully was able to see the funny side.

This week, his Bolshoi colleagues have written an open letter to Vladimir Putin arguing that Dmitrichenko was pressured into the confession, and demanding an independent investigation. Why was Filin targeted so savagely? Some have pointed to the Bolshoi's long history of artistic conflicts – some dancers and choreographers eager to embrace modern influences, others loyal to the old Soviet-era Bolshoi. Filin was a reforming figure; before him, director Alexei Ratmansky and his potential successor Gennady Yanin were subject to campaigns of threat and vilification . In 2011, nearly 200 explicit … [Read more...] about Russia’s ballet wars: dancers in the dock
