Pamela Anderson has become the first casualty of Dancing On Ice 2013 in a shock result which saw her lose the new-look skate-off to TV veteran Keith Chegwin. The former Baywatch actress had been tipped as a possible series winner - but she and skating partner, fellow American Matt Evers, crashed out of the competition after her first performance of the series landed her in the bottom two. And both she and Keith faced the new-style skate-off featuring the 'save-me skate' - a routine created and choreographed by the celebrities themselves, which the bottom two have to perform to impress the judges. Although Keith - who skated to the classical track O Fortuna - appeared to be the outsider in the skate-off after finishing bottom of the judges' scoreboard, Pamela stumbled midway through her routine to Sinead O'Connor's Elton John cover Sacrifice. And as a result the judges were in no doubt as to who they wanted to save. "I'd like to save you both and I'm really sorry but the best performance that time was Keith," Karen Barber told her, while Ashley Roberts added: Making this decision has been really really tough just because of the tumbles I'm saving Keith." Pamela admitted that she had suffered a wardrobe malfunction during the routine which led to her making mistakes, with Philip Schofield joking: "If that had happened earlier you wouldn't have been in the skate-off." Afterwards even she appeared stunned by the result, saying, "I feel sad. It was really fun and I now know how to skate a little bit. So sorry Matt, I stumbled." Pamela and Keith were among six celebrities who skated for the first time on Sunday night's show, with the other four - Samia Ghadie, Matt Lapinskas, Shayne Ward and Beth Tweddle - making it straight through on the combination of judges' scores and public vote. Next Sunday's show will see the remaining six - Anthea Turner, Gareth Thomas, Oona King, Lauren Goodger, Luke Campbell and Joe Pasquale - take to the ice for the first time.
