Dancing On Ice professional skater Alex Murphy says she’s devastated after being dropped from the ITV show.
Alex won the ITV show earlier this year alongside former EastEnders star Joe Swash.
She wrote in an Instagram statement today: “It is with a heavy heart that I release the following statement.
For the last three years, Dancing On ice has not only been my job, but also what I considered to be my family.
“I am broken hearted to announced that I have recently been informed that I will not be re-contracted for Dancing On Ice 2021 series.

“This decision has come as a huge shock to me. I absolutely love the show and had hoped to go back for 2021. I have been left feeling bewildered, lost, and devastated.
“I am so grateful for the three years that I had on this incredible show and I will wholeheartedly miss everyone and everything about it.

“Though I am heartbroken, I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and although this hurts right now, I will pick myself up and look forward towards the future.
“Thank you so much to all my colleagues at DOI and most importantly the viewers for the constant support and love that you have shown me the last 3 years.
“It was an incredibly part of my list and though it is ending sooner than I would have liked, I am so grateful for the memories.”
