Dancing on Ice star Carley Stenson has admitted she’s struggling with “mum guilt” while being away from baby daughter Skye.
The 40-year-old actress, who played Steph Cunningham in Hollyoaks, didn’t think she’d be able to appear on the ITV show because it meant spending time away from her little girl.
However, Carley has been able to “figure it out” with her former Strictly Come Dancing star husband Danny Mac.

Detailing how she deals with being away from Skye, Carley said: “I feel awful when I’m not with her. Mum guilt is real – it’s part of my DNA now.

“‘I remember my first day back to work, when Skye had a rash. I got off the Tube and I could have gone left to work or right to go home, and I had to ring my mum and say: ‘Please tell me what to do’. It was horrible.
“But I knew Skye was with my mother-in-law, who is a nurse, so she could not have been in better hands.”

Carley gushed over the support she gets from her partner Danny as she juggles rehearsals and their baby daughter, while adding that he liked to remind her of how well he did in Strictly.
She explained: ‘He’s massively supportive. He’s like ‘Come on Carls, this is your time now don’t worry about me and Skye, I’ve got it covered, focus on you’ He is great like that.
“But then he also does add in: ‘I was runner-up though babe!’ So I have to beat him in that sense.

“So if I just said that if I make the final we’ll be equal and it’ll be fine.”
It comes after Carley and professional partner Mark Hanretty went live on Instagram during an advert break during a recent live episode of Dancing on Ice.
In the short clip, Mark said:: “We were paired together because we’re both equally hopeless at social media. I think that’s why we’re together.”

Carley can be heard saying: “I don’t even know if we’re allowed to be doing this.
Mark continued: “We’re naughty as well” before adding: “Well done you.”
Carley replied: ‘Thank you, I messed it up but we had good fun.”
“I’ll try desperately not to mess up the next time because it was so beautifully choreographed so i’m gutted.”
Carley then panned the camera around the studio showing a rare behind-the-scenes look at the famous ice rink as well as her co-stars.
