Anyone who has been watching ITV’s Dancing On Ice will know that Hollyoaks star, Chris Fountain, started the show head and shoulders above his competitors, many believe his extra skill was mostly due to his previous ice hockey skating experience.
However Chris has spoken out today claiming that he has had to work as hard as his competitors and that he had been pushed just as hard.
Speaking at ITV’s Television Centre in London, the 20-year-old said: “I suppose it gave me a general awareness of the ice, but I still don’t think I would have been scared to fall over because that’s just the type of person I am - I throw myself into anything.
“I think I’ve tried some really difficult stuff and I don’t feel like I’ve pushed myself less than anybody else.
“I don’t feel like I’ve sat back on my experience and gone, ‘I can do an easy routine and just sail my way through’.”
For once I actually agree with Judge Jason Gardiner who contradicted Chris saying:
“He does have an unfair advantage, because he is able to skate.
“He doesn’t have that fear that the girls have had to overcome.”
