Dancing on Ice: Oscar Peter announced as Caprice's new partner

Dancing On Ice is in full swing as last weekend saw ITV news presenter Lucrezia Millarini eliminated as she was in skate off for a second time. One contestant who was absent last week was Caprice Bourret as she made her return this evening with new partner Oscar Peter. However, viewers were left confused as her former partner Hamish Gaman was not given a new celebrity to skate with. 

Last weekend saw host Holly Willoughby announce Hamish and Caprice had "parted ways".

Fans are still none the wiser as to why the pair decided to split as they were hoping for answers this evening.

Caprice returned to skate after her absence last week, alongside new partner, Oscar Peter.

However, fans were left confused as they questioned why Hamish was not also given a new partner in the show.

Taking to Twitter, viewers of the show begged for answers as to what happened between the pair.

One viewer asked: "#DancingOnIce So Caprice is back with a NEW partner. Any explanation? What happened to her original partner?"

"Can someone tell me what happened between caprice and Hamish on #DancingOnIce," echoed another.

"Feel sorry for Hamish. He should have a new partner..remember this is his career #DancingOnIce," wrote a third. 

A fourth shared: "Caprice should have been kicked off the show and Hamish given a new partner! Hopefully she will be voted off tonight #DancingOnIce."

"#DancingOnIce Poor Hamish gone yet Caprice gets to stay...," commented another.

It remains unclear what happened between the pair as ITV continue to deny allegations of bullying between them. 

Speaking to The Mirror, an ITV spokesperson said: "We take allegations of bullying very seriously but found no evidence on Dancing On Ice and we strongly refute any suggestion to the contrary.

"We’re very proud of the team, both on and off screen.

It comes as some fans claim they heard Caprice booed as she returned to skate with her new partner.

As hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield announced the couples this evening, viewers took to Twitter as they believed the contestant was booed upon her entrance.  

One viewer wrote: "I think there were a few boo's in there for Caprice #DancingOnIce."

"Did Caprice just get booed? #DancingOnIce," asked another.

A third said: "#DancingOnIce quite a few boos there, no clapping for caprice at all (sic)."

Speaking in her video-tape before her skate, she said” “My first live performance was so overwhelming, I have no words I was beyond goosebumps

"I missed last week’s show because I'm no longer skating with Hamish,” she added. 

Another two contestants will end up in the skate off this evening, but who will be saying goodbye to the rink?

ITV declined to comment.
