Jessica Taylor: I was gutted

Jessica Taylor has admitted she was "absolutely gutted" to come third in Dancing On Ice.

The former Liberty X star had been one of the favourites to win the celebrity ice skating show and was as shocked as all her fans when she didn't even make it into the final two.

Jessica said: "Of course I was gutted, absolutely gutted. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. It was Mother's Day and my mum was there to watch me and I really wanted to dance the Bolero in the final. I love the dance and the costume. But I'm looking forward to doing it on tour."

Her best friend and former Liberty X bandmate Kelli Young said: "It was such a waste of a costume - her Bolero outfit was amazing and she had a fabulous washboard stomach to go with it."

Kelli and Jessica - who attended the second birthday party of London club Maddox where sponsors Sony VAIO presented them each with a new P-Series notebook computer - have formed their own girl group Danger Minx.

Kelli revealed: "We both love the word minx and we knew we wanted to call ourselves something to with that, and danger just sounded right. After Liberty X split up I had some time off but then I started recording in the studio and Jessica came to join me and we just worked really well together."

Jessica is going on the Dancing On Ice live tour but the girls are hoping to release their new music as soon as possible.

Jessica said: "The tour shouldn't get in the way and our music is really current. It should be great."
