Dancing on Ice star Matthew Wolfenden has said that he has the "utmost respect" for rival skater Jorgie Porter.
The soap stars have jostled for position atop the leaderboard over the last seven weeks of the ITV show, but Wolfenden insisted that there are no ill feelings outside of the rink.
"I've got the utmost respect for Jorgie," he told The Sun's Buzz magazine.
"People think it's harder for the boys because you've got to do lifts, but I'd much rather be doing lifts than be up in the air like Jorgie when she's spun around above [professional partner] Matt Evers's head."
Wolfenden went on to rule out a Dancing on Ice appearance for his Emmerdale co-star and fiancée Charley Webb (Debbie Dingle).
"Me and Charley have always watched Dancing on Ice, and last year I suddenly thought, 'Why not!'" he said.
"Charley's great - she comes down every Sunday to support me, then drives back on three hours' sleep. But she's definitely not up for doing the show herself, even though I've tried to persuade her."
Dancing on Ice continues Sunday (February 26) at 6.50pm on ITV1.
