Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield address Caprice's shock Dancing on Ice exit
February 03, 2020 - 09:14 GMT Gemma Strong Dancing on Ice star Caprice made headlines by sensationally quitting the show ahead of this weekend's live programme. Her representative confirmed her decision in a brief statement to HELLO! Online, stating that the model had experienced"a hard few months" and that"her mental wellbeing" has been affected. And on Sunday's show it was down to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield to confirm the news.
This series has been dominated by the drama surrounding Caprice. It began when she inexplicably parted ways with her skating partner Hamish Gaman. Neither Hamish nor Caprice have yet addressed the reasons for their split, and ITV has likewise remained silent on the issue. When Holly announced that they would no longer skate together, she simply said:"Unfortunately, Caprice and Hamish have parted ways and will not be skating this week.
Caprice later returned to the show with new partner Oscar Peter – but just one week after their first performance, the star pulled out of the show. Caprice's spokesperson told HELLO! Online:"It’s true that Caprice is no longer participating in Dancing on Ice. It’s been a hard few months and she’s had to keep silent for contractual reasons. Her mental wellbeing has been affected over the last two months and recent stories leaked to the press are not only salacious but extremely hurtful.
On Saturday, Hamish shared a message on Twitter in which he expressed his feelings about the events of the last couple of weeks. The skater posted:"Hi everyone. Thank you so much for your kind messages. I've been overwhelmed by your love and support - it's brought me to tears at times. Honestly, I'm not okay, but I'd like to thank Amelia, my pro family and ITV for doing all they can to support me.
