Ex-Corrie star hangs up ice skates

Former 'Coronation Street' actor Steven Arnold bowed out of this year’s 'Dancing on Ice' competition tonight admitting he was “not a natural skater”.

Arnold took to the ice for a second time in the skate-off against cricketer Dominic Cork.

Both ended up in the bottom two after the viewer votes and judges’ scores were combined.

Judges Jason Gardiner, Robin Cousins and former Spice Girl Emma Bunton all opted to save Cork after a cleaner performance.

Thanking his partner Nina Ulanova, Arnold said: “I’m not a natural skater, but I put my heart and soul into this. Nina for the last three months has been like a big sister to me and I want to say thank you so much.”

Earlier in the evening, Bunton, who is pregnant with her second child, announced her engagement to former Damage band member Jade Jones live on the ITV show, saying: “I’m a very happy lady.”
