Former Hollyoaks star, Chris Fountain has been teasing his former co-star Ricky Whittle about his Strictly Come Dancing outfits.
Fountain told Whats On TV: “I have to watch [Strictly] because Ricky’s on there and Ali’s on there. They’re both like joint favourites now, I think.
“But I have been giving Ricky some abuse about his costumes, only because he did it to me when I did Dancing On Ice, so you’ve kind of got to do it. I said, ‘You’re doing really well mate but those shirts are horrendous, you’ve gotta sort it out’.”

Dancing On Ice runner up, Chris Fountain, has been complaining about Suzanne Shaws shock win and puts her success down to the publicity given to her injuries.
Chris told Star magazine: “I had a few injuries, but nothing that got publicised too much. There was a lot of stuff about Suzanne’s ribs and Suzanne’s ankle, but I didn’t want to be seen moaning about getting injured. It’s ice skating – you’re bound to get injured.
“I had bruises everywhere, but I just got on with it.” Read more & comment »

Dancing On Ice runner up, Chris Fountain, may become the latest celebrity to get paid a fortune to not write his own autobiography.
Chris revealed that he has been offered an obscene amount of money to tell some writer the story of his (quite short) life, while they then go away and do all the hard work.
He told the Daily Star: “I have done a lot despite being only 20. The money they are offering is pretty mad so who knows?
“It could all come off and be out in time for Christmas.”
Is anyone else wondering how Chris is going to stretch out tales of his Ice Hockey team, and life on Hollyoaks for a whole book? I’m not sure how riveting the story will be.

TV’s real Mr Nasty, Jason Gardiner has hit out at the two celebrities most likely to win tonight’s Dancing On Ice final.
Jason is backing Coronation Street actress Zaraah Abrahams to win, but hasn’t many nice things to say about Suzanne Shaw or Chris Fountain.
His sharp tongue lashed out at Suzanne first when he told The News Of The World:
“She’s still using the sympathy vote which is unnecessary at this stage of the competition. Skating’s dangerous – Torvill and Dean are constantly getting hurt. In the end I feel most people yawn, ‘Oh God, she’s whingeing again.”
“It’s a negative strategy and she’s good enough to be able to stand on her work alone. The bottom line is everyone’s been hurt. It’s just the way it goes.”
Jason added he believes Hollyoaks actor Chris is selfish.
“He’s not a generous partner. It’s all about Chris. He’s a young lad and he’s in a self-consumed bubble,” he says. Read more & comment »

Dancing On Ice finalist, Chris Fountain has hit out at claims that due to his ice hocky experience, he had a massive advantage over the other competitors on this years show.
Chris told The Sun:
“Obviously, I had balance on the ice so I had a bit of an advantage. But at the same time that’s countered by me having to change my whole style and posture.
“I’m used to being bent over double for ice hockey, rather than keeping my back nice and straight.
“Also, I’ve pushed myself really hard and attempted more difficult moves — like the axel spin last week.
“Granted I’ve had a bit of experience, but at the same time I’ve tried to put in as much effort as any of the contestants.
“Suzanne and Zaraah are much more graceful than me. I’m getting there but it doesn’t come naturally to me.”
Suzanne agrees: “People might think Chris has an advantage. Others might say Zaraah and I have both danced before, so the competition is unfair on Chris. We’re all trying hard and he’s a great skater.” Read more & comment »
