CAPRICE Bourret has reportedly quit Dancing On Ice after struggling to move on from her fallout with ex-skating partner Hamish Gaman.
The Sun Online today revealed the 48-year-old failed to turn up to rehearsals after he broke his silence on their split.
A source told Daily Star Sunday: “Shes a strong woman, but when her kids are coming home from school upset because other kids are repeating lies about their mum, its hard not to let it affect you.”
Model Caprice didn’t answer calls from bosses as she went missing a day after Hamish said he “wasn’t OK”.
Show insiders branded her a “diva and lazy” and claimed she and Hamish “grew to hate each other” after clashes backstage.
Despite almost crying with happiness when she was matched with him, their relationship spectacularly crumbled and Caprice became the first celebrity in the show’s history to dump her professional skating partner.
Caprice and Hamish made their debut on the second episode of the series, landing second place on the leader-board with 25.5 points out of 40 after dancing a routine to Lewis Capaldi’s Some You Loved.
But just seven days later they pulled out of the live show after “parting ways”.
The real reason behind the shock split has never been revealed.
Caprice was later paired up with Oscar Peter and returned to perform just days later, while Hamish remained on the show to perform in group routines.
Hamish yesterday spoke out for the first time about the ordeal, but refused to mention Caprice’s name.
The36-year-old skater said he was “overwhelmed” by support from viewers, but added: “Honestly, I’m not okay, but I’d like to thank [girlfriend] Amelia, my pro family and ITV for doing all they can to support me.”
Hamish added: “I’m comforted knowing the truth always comes out in the end, and I hope we can focus on the skating now.”
Caprice revealed a series of nasty looking bruises on her body yesterday, telling fans they were “war wounds”.
She added: “Oscar and I have been working hard. Hope to impress the judges this week.”
Last week the model was spotted with a mystery black eye, which insiders claimed were not caused during rehearsals for the show.
