Stephanie Waring has been booted from ‘Dancing On Ice’.
The 39-year-old actress and her professional partner Sylvain Longchambon faced the dreaded skate-off on Sunday (21.01.18) night’s live episode of the ITV ice-skating competition, where she battled it out against Lemar, but unfortunately found herself kicked from the show when the judges favoured the singer’s routine.
Speaking after the results, an emotional Stephanie said: "You know what? I’ve had the most amazing time, and I’m really proud of myself. Thank you to everyone, thank you Sylvain."
The ‘Hollyoaks’ actress was saved by judges Ashley Banjo and Jason Gardiner, but after Christopher Dean – one half of legendary ice-skating duo Torvill and Dean – chose to save Lemar, it was up to this week’s head judge Jane Torvill to cast the deciding vote.
She ultimately chose to save Lemar based on the skating content within his routine, meaning it was Stephanie who found herself being sent home.
Stephanie is the second contestant to be eliminated from the celebrity ice-skating competition after former ‘Great British Bake Off’ winner Candice Brown became the first to be voted off last week.
For the actress, her eviction comes after she was left with fluid in her knee at the end of last month, as a result of suffering injuries during training.
She said at the time: "I’ve hurt my hand but it’s not serious and it’s out of strap now. And my knee’s a bit swollen, I’ve got a bit of fluid in my knee. I’m falling over more as the weeks are going by and I’m not sure if that’s because I’m pushing myself harder and doing more technical things …
"I wanted to do it so bad. I’m not a skater or a dancer so I forget when we do the routines … I’m forgetting about my body and what my face is doing."
