Despite being a West End star, with professional dance training and prior experience competing in a live TV show following her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, Denise admitted on Thursday that she’s still ‘petrified’ of doing Dancing On Ice. 

She explained: ‘You would not believe it – I would fall over from standing talking but you do get used to it. I am less bruised now, which is good. I am less likely to fall than I was three months ago.

‘I have always been petrified of being on the ice and having an injury and falling. I have fallen over in most of my sessions.

‘I was so nervous when I was first on the ice that my whole body would tense and then I would keep falling over.

‘I am trying to stay relaxed and not think about injuries so much because you can never predict what you’re going to happen when you’re on ice.

‘I hope I can get through the competition and not be taken over by injury. It is scary.’
