Sources on the show have revealed to The Sun Online that the cast and crew backstage are deeply concerned for him.
Insiders revealed: “Morale behind the scenes is really low at the moment - the show is like a family and the pro skaters are very close so everyone is worrying about Hamish after he was thrown into the spotlight.
“He is a professional skater and has no interest in being famous - he's never made headlines unless it’s for his skating skills.
“Backstage nobody has been told anything so everyone is just focusing on making sure Hamish is OK.”

Pro skater Alexander Demetriou shared a shot of himself with his fellow dancers and wrote: “I love each and every one of you guys. We are not a cast we are family forever. @dancingonice @itv.”
Alex Murphy echoed his sentiments writing: “Your family is the best team you could ever have. Very grateful and humbled to be part of this family. Three years on and it’s as if we’ve spent our whole lives together. “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” HK”

On Sunday evening viewers were left baffled when it was announced that Caprice, 48, would not be skating after “parting ways” with Hamish.
No further explanation was offered at the time but The Sun Online has since revealed that the couple endured weeks of rising tensions behind the scenes which led to them being unable to work together any longer.
Caprice, who is an American model and businesswoman, had initially expressed an interest in skating with Hamish but unfortunately things turned sour very quickly.

The pair grew to hate each other and Caprice was branded a “diva and lazy”.
An insider revealed exclusively to The Sun Online: “Caprice was mean to Hamish during rehearsals - it was often in front of other cast and crew - and he was left very upset by it because he's such a professional and a gentle giant.
“Hamish was walking on egg shells a lot of the time - he felt Caprice seemed to struggle with the demands of the show and described her as a bit of a diva because she would tell him off a lot and just generally thought she was above it all."
