Caprice deletes Twitter after quitting Dancing On Ice to focus on mental health

The model has officially left the show

Author: Alex RossPublished 3rd Feb 2020

Although the 2020 series of Dancing On Ice has been bringing some amazing performances on the ice, there's also been some major drama OFF it.

American model Caprice quit the show ahead of Sunday night's live performance, just two weeks after failing to perform after she 'parted ways' with her original skating partner Hamish Gaman.

Caprice has remained silent on the matter, but a representative for the star released a statement ahead of the show, revealing the 48-year-old has had a tough couple of months. She said, "It's been a hard few months for Caprice and she's had to keep silent for contractual reasons.

"Mental wellbeing has been affected over the last two months and recent stories leaked to the press are not only salacious but extremely hurtful".

Dancing On Ice hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield then briefly mentioned Caprice wouldn't be returning, leaving viewers frustrated at the lack of information about the matter.

However, as fans took to Twitter to find some answers, Caprice DELETED her account, leaving fans of the show even more confused.

Caprice's exit from the show arrived just hours after her original partner Hamish broke his silence, admitting he's 'not okay'.

Hamish tweeted, 'Hi everyone. Thank you so much for your kind messages. I’ve been overwhelmed by your love and support – it’s brought me to tears at times. Honestly, I’m not okay, but I’d like to thank Amelia, my pro-family and ITV for doing all they can to support me.

‘I’m comforted knowing the truth always comes out in the end, and I hope we can focus on the skating again now.’
