The couple split two years after their daughter's birth but always remained really close.

Last year, Charlie revealed that Tony even lived in a flat above her house and that they had spent Christmas Day together as a happy family - along with Charlie's then-boyfriend Ben Hollington.

Charlie and Ben split in 2018, and before Christmas she went public with her new man.

Other celebs gracing the ice rink this week included Coronation Street's Sam Aston, who is a frontrunner to win this series, footballer Anton Ferdinand, TV presenter Michaela Strachan and Olympian Sir Steve Redgrave.

Retired rower Steve, 62, was the latest celebrity to be voted off Dancing on Ice after receiving the lowest scores from the judges and the least votes from the public.

But during last night's live show Holly Willoughby, 43, told the line-up that they could have to battle it out to stay in the competition from next weekend.

She said: "Listen, this is very important - I have an announcement to make.

"Next week things are going to change somewhat because the skate-off is back. That does change everything."

After the skate-off was initially axed viewers insisted the end of the show felt "rushed".

STAR QUITS

It was a dramatic weekend for Dancing On Ice, with professional skater Vanessa Bauer being forced to quit the show due to injury.

Vanessa, 28 - who was partnered with Love Island's Chris Taylor - told fans: "I'm here today with rather upsetting news. I am unfortunately not going to be able to continue on Dancing on Ice with Chris.
