'Dancing on Ice' tour hits the skids

The 'Dancing on Ice' tour has been scrapped.

Bosses of the ITV skating show have axed the money-making tour – which has previously seen celebrity contestants, including 'Hollyoaks' beauty Jorgie Porter and Coronation Street's Chris Fountain, earn thousands from performing their routines on the road – because of the recession, which has come as a "real blow" to the stars.
