Actress Carley Stenson has said Oti Mabuse will not “hold back on her comments” while judging her on Dancing On Ice, despite their friendship. The former Hollyoaks star, 40, is among the 11 celebrity contestants being put through their paces in the new series of ITV’s ice skating competition.
Stenson delivered her first performance on Sunday with her professional partner Mark Hanretty, and went on to top the leaderboard with a score of 32, with all four judges giving her eight points. Mabuse, who is one of the judges on the skating competition, was previously a professional dancer on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing and was partnered with Stenson’s husband Danny Mac in 2016.
Mabuse and Mac went on to reach the final and after spending so much time together with Stenson, they became good friends. However, Stenson told Hello! magazine that Mabuse had said to her: “I’m a friend, but I’m definitely going to be watching out.”
