Jason Gardiner thinks DOI final will be best ever

Jason Gardiner is more excited about tonight's (27.03.11) 'Dancing on Ice' final than any other.

The acid-tongued judge believes viewers should get ready to watch an 'absolute fight' because the three finalists Sam Attwater, Chloe Madeley and Laura Hamilton are in such close competition.

He said: "I am thrilled about this final more than any other because it will be an absolute fight to the finish."

The Australian choreographer has been open throughout the ITV1 series about what he thinks of the reality show's contestants, previously saying that all three of the finalists deserve to make it to the end of the competition.

However, despite being happy with the outcome so far, Jason is remaining tight-lipped about whether he plans to return for another series, admitting his experience on the show has been tainted by complaints about his harsh criticism.

He told the News of the World newspaper: "I just want to get through the final. The show itself I love, but what I haven't enjoyed so much is the way that what I do has been blown out of proportion.

"I've been called a bully and that really p*sses me off. I'm not bullying people on the show, I'm giving them very harsh critiques."

"None of these celebrities is going home damaged goods because of what I've said to them."
