Siva Kaneswaran defies judges’ expectations as he returns to Dancing On Ice despite nursing chesty cough

Siva Kaneswaran blew away the cobwebs after missing a week of Dancing On Ice due to illness with a routine to the sound of Elvis Presley. 

The Wanted singer, 34, returned to the ice-skating show with his partner Klabera Komin just in time for movie week.

Lacing up his skates despite nursing the end of a chest infection, the star wowed judges as he spun Klabera around the rink.

The pair took on the performance they were supposed to showcase the week before – for icons week – and thrilled audiences as Elvis’s A Little Less Conversation (JXL Remix) rang out around the arena. 

Last time on the ice, Siva managed to rack up a score of 30 out of 40 – his highest of the series so far.

Finished his up-tempo performance, the star stood alongside his partner as they awaited the judges’ feedback.

When questioned about his current condition, Siva mentioned he was feeling much better but still warding off the ends of a chesty cough as he clutched his upper body. 

Each judge took their turn to express their opinions on the performance, with all acknowledging their worries over the star’s return this week.

Ashley Banjo told Siva: ‘You’ve come so far and I was worried you would come back after the week off and even if you were at the same level, the rest of the competition might have just stepped up a notch but absolutely not.

‘It was a jam-packed routine, you pulled it all off and all I would ask is that you now sell and perform every moment – don’t let it dip ever.’ 

‘It’s great to see you back!’, Jayne Torvill quipped on seeing the star take to the ice again. 

Oti Mabuse showered the singer with praise as she awarded him for his skate: ‘I said that you were the model student and you work hard and it is starting to pay off because you are doing the most intricate programme she is challenging you.

‘She’s not going easy on you and you are doing it full pout and I’m really proud of you, well done.’

Dancing on Ice continues Sundays at 6:30pm on ITV
