Billingham Forum's very own Andrei Lipanov is taking part in this years Dancing on Ice and we need you to get behind him and vote to keep him in the show.

Andrei is an ice professional at Billingham Forum TFM Radio Ice Arena, splitting his time between general ice rink duties and his popular figure skating coaching.

Roy Broadbent, Facility Manager at Billingham Forum said:

"Andrei is a great member of staff; He is a very popular coach and loves working here at the Forum. Our staff and customers are tremendously excited about Andrei being on the show. It’s important that we all back and support him - let’s vote to keep him in!"

This year Andrei has been paired with Sugarbabe Heidi Range and is hoping for a repeat of the success he had in series two of dancing on ice with Clare Buckfield when they finished in second place.

Russian International Andrei began skating solo at the tender age of five. When he was 15 he became a competitive pairs skater and went on to win the Russian Junior Games in 1993.

Having competed as a member of the Russian National Team, Andrei turned professional and became a principal in the Russian Ice Stars in 1996, before joining Britain's Dancing on Ice show in 1997.
