MISCHIEVOUS Dancing On Ice star Maura Higgins and her partner Alexander Demetrious trashed Joe Swash's dressing room in a hilarious prank.

Maura giggled as pro skater Alexander did all the heavy lifting, with a sofa, table, lamp and plant all being upturned.
However, they didn't get away with it.
Stunned Joe stormed into their room and proceeded to get his own back by emptying the contents of Maura's bag on the floor.
The prank might have momentarily distracted Joe from his DOI turmoil after it was revealed last night that his partner Alex Schauman won't be dancing on Sunday's show.

American skater Alex Murphy, who was paired with Brian McFadden last year, will dance with Joe in her place.
The news comes after Caprice Bourret dramatically swapped her dance partner on the show, dumping Hamish Gaman and replacing him with Oscar Peter.
The shock switch came after sources said the partnership between the 48-year-old star and the 36-year-old pro had grown "toxic".
Last night, Alex posted a picture of her and Joe together smiling, saying she had missed training with him.
