Dancing On Ice’s Caprice Bourret appeared to be sporting a swollen left eye as she left a training session alone on Thursday.
The model, 48, cut a casual figure in an all-black tracksuit as she finished up an early morning rehearsal but her face looked puffy under her left eye.
On Sunday’s show it was revealed Caprice had ‘parted ways’ with her pro partner Hamish Gaman and she later confirmed she would now be skating with Oscar Peters.

It comes after Caprice changed skating partners after reportedly claiming she was ‘bullied’ by Hamish Gaman during training amid their alleged fallout.
The pair were announced to have split at the start of Sunday’s show after allegedly refusing to work together, with Caprice branded a ‘lazy diva’.
A source told The Sun: ‘Caprice felt she was being pushed far too hard by Hamish in training and said she felt bullied.

‘She struggled to understand Hamish’s complicated instructions and said she felt he was berating her when she couldn’t pick up the moves as easily as some of the other celebs.’
They added: ‘To hear she’s being mocked as a diva because she refused to work with him any longer has been really upsetting for Caprice and she’s not happy.’
However, an ITV spokesperson denied the claims and told MailOnline: ‘We have seen no evidence of the alleged bullying on Dancing on Ice and strongly refute any suggestion to the contrary.
