LAURA Hamilton narrowly missed being sent home from Dancing on Ice this week after landing in the skate-off with Vanilla Ice.

The Nickelodeon presenter, 28, danced a Charleston-themed routine with partner Colin Ratushniak, which saw her land a respectable score of 24.9.

But Laura, from Meopham, struggled through the skate-off for the second time after viewers’ votes failed to keep her safe.

Judges on the Ice Panel - Robin Cousins, Emma Bunton and Jason Gardiner - unanimously voted to save Laura over the rapper, praising her technical skills.

But Emma added that the decision to send Vanilla - real name Rob Van Winkle - home was “definitely the toughest so far”.
