A source said: “Ricky was trying to work on his posture but Annette was getting frustrated that he was not grasping it.
“He felt that Annette was treating him like a kid and was clearly frustrated at her lack of patience.
“Ricky stormed off the ice and threw his skates off in a rage while shouting ‘I’m done’ and ‘f*** this’.
“Annette is a perfectionist and wants to shine on the show, given that it is her first series.”
