James Jordan takes aim at Caprice after Dancing On Ice drama with Hamish
Caprice 'parted ways' with Hamish Gaman
Dancing On Ice was hit with some major drama earlier this month, when American contestant Caprice failed to perform in Week 3, after 'parting ways' with her professional skating partner Hamish Gaman.
And whilst Caprice was given a new partner in the form of Oscar Peter, the 48-year-old found herself in the bottom two on Sunday night's show, after being booed by the studio audience following the drama.
Despite the judges saving her and sending home Blue Peter presenter Radzi Chinyanganya, many have said it's 'unfair' that Caprice is still on the show, despite missing a week of the competition.
And now, as Caprice and Oscar prepare for Sunday night's show, 2019 winner James Jordan has seemingly taken a little dig at her, supporting Hamish in the process.
He wrote, 'As you all know I never put my opinions on twitter and always shy away from controversy 🙊 However, I’d just like to say I spent 5 months working around Hamish from DOI last year and he’s a wonderful hard working guy who is lovely.' sic
The former Strictly star then added, 'Take from that what you will x'. sic
Earlier this month, during the live show on Sunday 19th January, hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield made the announcement that Caprice wouldn't be performing, due to 'parting way' with her partner Hamish Gaman.
ITV later released a statement saying, "Hamish remains very much part of our professional team and we hope to have Caprice back on the ice next week."
