Caprice Bourret confirms she has quit Dancing On Ice after 'hard few months'

Model Caprice Bourret has confirmed she'll no longer be taking part in Dancing on Ice.

It comes after the 48-year-old decided to part ways with ex-skating partner Hamish Gaman.

But after being booed off the ice last week, Caprice has reportedly decided to quit the show.

In a statement, her rep told Mirror Online: "It’s true that Caprice is no longer participating in Dancing On Ice.

"It’s been a hard few months and she’s had to keep silent for contractual reasons.

Her spokeswoman went on: "Her mental wellbeing has been affected over the last two months and recent stories leaked to the press are not only salacious but extremely hurtful.

"Now she’s taking some time to recover and look after herself and her family."

The mum-of-two documented her horrific bruises after her gruelling rehearsals.

Posting four pictures of her purple and green knees, hips and sides on  Instagram, Caprice wrote: "War wounds from this weeks training   #letsdothis @_oscarpeter and I have been working hard hope to impress the judges this week  @dancingonice."

Caprice had been due to take to the ice on Sunday night for the fifth episode of Dancing On Ice, but will now leave her new partner Oscar Peter without a celebrity to dance with.

She missed a week off the show last month as hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield announced that she and Hamish had parted ways.

The following week Caprice returned to the ice with Oscar, however they received a frosty reception from the crowd and were booed, landing in the bottom two.

On Friday, Hamish broke his silence in a scathing social media message declaring the "truth always comes out".

The pro skater, 36, admitted he's "not okay" and thanked his girlfriend Amelia and his "pro family" for supporting him after he was dropped as the star's dance partner.

He also confessed he's been left in tears in the aftermath of the bust-up that cost him his place on the ice alongside his celebrity partner.

In a message posted on Twitter, he wrote: "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."

Caprice reportedly complained to show bosses about Hamish's relentless "gaslighting" behaviour and threatened to quit unless she got a new partner.
