Dancing on Ice hosts Christine Bleakley and Phil Schofield feature in a Ghost-inspired photoshoot for this week’s heat magazine.

Christine, who joined the ITV show this year, said: “Everyone’s been lovely. I couldn’t ask for a nicer bunch. The whole crew, the skaters as well. And the celebs, funnily enough, they’re really supportive of each other.”

Speaking about the couple’s on screen chemistry, Phil said: “We just knew it was going to work – we’d met a couple of times anyway, we went out for lunch, and we’d done Text Santa together. So we knew from the word go. It was one of those things that didn’t need a lot of discussion, because they simply said they were thinking about Christine and I agreed.”

Phillip who confessed to only eating either lunch or dinner but never both in the same day, revealed: “You get used to it in the end. I have three slices of toast in the morning when I get to work and I might have a taste of whatever the chef is cooking on the day. I have some of the most beautifully made suits in television, so if I was to put on any weight I’d bankrupt ITV. One day it’s all going to go, though. When it goes, I’ll look like Deputy Dawg.”

Commenting on her tanned appearance, Christine revealed: “I’ve had many, many fake tans in my time. Though I haven’t had one for ages, because I am naturally very dark.”

Asked if her fiancé, Frank Lampard, joins in, Christine laughed: “One hundred per cent not!”

This week’s heat magazine is on sale now (Tuesday).
