Dancing on Ice's Sally gets tearful as she admits she 'doesn't know if she can do' show

Sally Dynevor confessed she wasn't sure if she could do the show as she made her Dancing On Ice debut.

The Coronation Street actress made her skating debut this week, but in a heartbreaking training VT, the soap star admitted she was thinking of quitting the show as she worried she wouldn't be able to go through with it.

In the VT, she cried as she said: "I don't think I can do this," but Matt quickly stopped her and tried to encourage her as he added: "Yes you can, you totally can. If I didn't think you could, I'd say, 'Girl, go home.'"

However, after the chat, Sally seemed to be more positive.

"I'm never going to be Torvill or Dean. I'm just going to be Sally, and she's going to do her very very best," she said.

Sally previously confessed she wanted people to see her for who she is on the show - rather than her soap star alter ego.

Speaking to The Mirror and other press, she explained: "I really do want people to get to know me because they've only known my character for so long. But again, it's putting myself out there that's quite out there, because I've never really done this before.

"I've hidden behind my character. So to come out after all these years, it's quite daunting. But I'm hoping I'll be ok and it'll go well and that I'll really enjoy the experience and then go back to being Sally Metcalfe in a few weeks."

Sally's enjoyed being able to dress up - as her character's outfits are worlds away.

"I'm really enjoying it. I never get the chance to dress up on Corrie, it's always very downbeat so this is really good fun. I'm enjoying it," she said as she chatted about the outfits.

She had admitted recently that confidence was her main issue.

"My real problem is the confidence thing," she said earlier this week, "I am struggling with my confidence. I'm just hoping that as this journey goes along, if I get the opportunity, I'll find a little bit more confidence every week. I just need to get through Sunday night."
