Dancing On Ice gang face adversity!

The Dancing On Ice contestants have had a tough week with early starts, MRI scans and complex routines to learn ahead of this Sunday.

TV presenter Laura Hamilton topped the leader board on the show last week, nabbing 25.5 points out of 30, but has tweeted about fitting in photo shoots and MRI scans for a swollen ankle into her practice time this week.

Meanwhile Loose Women's Denise Welch hit Twitter to complain about the early mornings.

She tweeted: "This is cruelty!! Off to ice rink at 7.30am!!!!!!!!! xx"

Meanwhile, confident skater Sam Attwater expressed his fear about this week's routine labelling it, "fun but hard."

The contestants have also been dropping hints about the songs they will skate to this week. Vanilla Ice has said that he will be doing his routine to a flamenco style song and Jeff Brazier has been asking friends on Twitter for tips with waltz steps.
