DANCING on Ice star Ricky Norwood threatened to quit after a huge bust-up with his pro partner Annette Dytrt in training.
The ex-EastEnders actor, 40, stormed off the rink in a foul-mouthed rant after just 15 minutes of practice on Thursday.
A source said: “Ricky was trying to work on his posture but Annette was getting frustrated that he was not grasping it.
“He felt that Annette was treating him like a kid and was clearly frustrated at her lack of patience.
“Ricky stormed off the ice and threw his skates off in a rage while shouting ‘I’m done’ and ‘f*** this’.
“Annette is a perfectionist and wants to shine on the show, given that it is her first series.”
Ricky, who played Fatboy in the BBC soap, scored 21 out of 40 last week.
He was saved after S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt, 42, scored 20 and was eliminated.
He returned to training on Friday ahead of the live show tonight.
German skater Annette, 40, joined this year.
She had previously been a pro dancer in her own country’s version of the show Stars auf Eis.
In 2015 Ricky was axed from EastEnders after a leaked video showed him performing a sex act and allegedly smoking cannabis.
Speaking in the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2016, Ricky said ”I held my hands up” to the scandal, before adding that his axing had left him “depressed”.
