It comes as The Sun revealed how Caprice is poised to sue ITV over bullying claims.

The American model, 48, complained to TV bosses about pro skater Hamish Gaman’s “gaslighting” behaviour or psychological manipulation and threatened to quit unless she was given a new partner.

According to backstage sources, a supervisor was brought in to monitor their training for Dancing on Ice as tensions between the duo turned “toxic”.

A crew member said: “Hamish is an incredibly hard taskmaster and was pushing Caprice beyond her capabilities. She was giving it her all but felt like it was never enough. He was relentless, and basically gaslighted her.

“His bullying wore Caprice down. She complained to execs, yet not much was done besides bringing in a supervisor. Instead she was portrayed as a diva, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

“Caprice won’t stand for bullying in the workplace, and has been advised she has grounds to go legal. For now, she wants to give her all to the show.”

While Hamish, 36, will not skate with Caprice again, ITV confirmed he will still take part in the show’s group numbers.

An ITV spokeswoman said: “We take allegations of bullying very seriously but found no evidence on Dancing On Ice and strongly refute any suggestion to the contrary.”
