Dancing On Ice bosses are said to be trying their best to keep Suzanne Shaw and Zaraah Abrahams apart behind the scenes of the show, due to an ever widening rift that is forming between the pair.

It has been said that former Hear’say singer Suzanne Shaw was sure that she had little competition among the female skaters this year, until Zaraah entered the contest late last week, and wowed the judges.

An insider told The Mirror: “It’s very icy between Suzanne and Zaraah. They are kept apart and we organised totally different practice times. They’re trying to outdo one another by doing bigger lifts.”
