Hollyoaks actor Kieron Richardson has admitted that he’s not much of an ice skater. Richardson revealed that during his Dancing On Ice rehearsals, he has kicked his partner Canadian Brianne in the crotch and dropped her “loads of times”.

Kieron told The Daily Star: “I am really skinny and I haven’t got muscles. I even asked if Brianne would pick me up in the routine. Can you imagine me trying to lift her? I have dropped her so many times.”

“On the second day I sliced her cha cha – her crotch – my boot went into her. I was doing a lift and I dropped her on my boot. If she breaks something I’ve ruined her career forever, so there’s a lot of pressure on me to get it right.”
