One of the stars of Dancing On Ice 2024 reportedly threatened to quit the show following a heated argument with their professional partner. Former EastEnders actor Ricky Norwood is set to return to the rink tonight alongside champion skater Annette Dytrt for the fourth week of the competition. Ricky Hatton, the boxer, and Hannah Spearritt, the S Club 7 singer, were eliminated in previous rounds.
Ricky Norwood has consistently scored lower on the leaderboard over the past two weeks. Despite narrowly avoiding elimination each time, tensions between him and his partner Annette reached a breaking point during a skating practice session on Thursday. According to a source, Ricky became frustrated with Annette’s approach, specifically regarding his posture. After just 15 minutes, he stormed off the ice, expressing his frustration by throwing his skates and uttering expletives like I’m done and f**k this.
The insider also explained that Ricky felt like Annette was treating him like a child and lacked the patience he required to improve. As a perfectionist looking to make an impact in her first series, Annette’s expectations may have contributed to the conflict. Annette, a new pro skater on Dancing On Ice, revealed her excitement about participating in the show, referring to it as a dream come true.
Ricky Norwood, known for his role as Arthur ‘Fatboy’ Chubb on EastEnders from 2010 to 2015, made a surprise cameo appearance last year after leaving the popular BBC soap. The actor, who finished as the runner-up on Celebrity Big Brother, has indicated his willingness to return to Albert Square, expressing enthusiasm for the show’s recent storylines.
