S Club 7 singer Hannah Spearritt has been absent from several Dancing On Ice training sessions, leaving TV bosses concerned about her readiness for the first show in January.
Despite being partnered with professional skater Andy Buchanan, the 42-year-old singer has fallen behind on her training schedule, which has been in full swing for the past few months.
According to a TV source, “Hannah is on thin ice. She has missed a number of rehearsals with Andy and there are fears that she won’t be ready. All the performances are live, so any mistakes, mishaps or, in the worst case, falls are caught live on camera.”
While Andy will be doing most of the heavy lifting in the routines, it’s crucial for the celebrity to have a base level of ability. Although Hannah has dance experience from her pop star days, ice skating is a whole different ball game.
The first live show is just two weeks away, and ITV bosses are worried that Hannah won’t be able to meet the demands of the competition when it starts.
Hannah will be competing against tough competition, including actors Ryan Thomas and Claire Sweeney, ex-boxer Ricky Hatton, former Olympic ski-jumper Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards, and reality TV star Amber Davies.
In April of this year, Hannah withdrew from S Club 7’s planned reunion tour after the tragic death of bandmate Paul Cattermole. She also revealed that none of her former bandmates have reached out to her since she left the tour.
It’s clear that Hannah has been through a lot recently, but her absence from training has raised concerns about her ability to compete. Let’s hope she can catch up and give it her all on the ice!
