DANCING On Ice star Sally Dynevor was all smiles with Coronation Street co-star Antony Cotton after The Celeb Report exclusively revealed her pal is pulling on his skates for her routine.
We were first to report how the Sean Tully actor, 46, has secretly been rehearsing as the surprise guest in a show-stopping routine.
Sally, 58, and her pro partner Matt Evers have lined up the big surprise for fans – set to be performed tonight.
As the minutes count down to show time, The Celeb Report Online can reveal a new snap showing the Sally Webster actress in her sparkling trousers as she takes a break from her skate prep.
She gives the camera a nervous smile as she cuddles up in a black coat, after making sure her gold skates perfectly matched her outfit.
Anthony, a former Dancing on Ice contestant, can be seen sitting alongside his pal, wearing a puffer jacket, jeans and black skate boots.
Ice pro Matt, looking proud of his two protegees, flashes a cheeky grin as he stands behind the mates.
SKATE CAMEO
Revealing the surprise cameo, a source told The Celeb Report: “Anthony and Sally have had a blast rehearsing this routine with Matt.
“They are great friends and Anthony has been supporting Sally on her Dancing on Ice journey from the get-go.
“They have been having a lot of fun, and giggling non-stop.
“Now they are knuckling down to give fans a big surprise.”
SOLO SKATE
Meanwhile Sally WILL prove she can skate on her own after trolls slammed her for holding onto Matt Evers.
The Corrie legend gave fans an exclusive teaser of her fancy footwork as she glided across the ice unaided ahead of Sunday’s live show.
Sally left the ITV crew stunned as she skated confidently across the ice, as she rehearsed another enchanting sequence.
The trim star, wearing a black Less Hate More Skate hoodie from skate pro Matt’s new range and leggings, looked graceful as she took a turn about the ice, leaving one crew member so astounded he collapsed on the ground.
Matt captured the video and said in amazement: “Who is that?”
Just days ago, Matt leaped to Sally’s defence after the skate-off with Bez when cruel trolls said Sally kept holding onto his hand.
He said Sally’s skate-off was ‘her best skate yet.’
Matt, who has partnered up with all the show’s biggest stars including Gemma Collins, said they ‘only had 3 hours of training compared to everyone else who had 5-12 hours,’ adding he was ‘so proud of what she was able to accomplish.’
BOOKIE BLOW
The Coronation Street star is now just 4/7 with the bookies for the boot – putting her streets ahead of the competition, with Kye Whyte currently being second-favourite at 9/4 and Stef Reid out at 5/1.
Elsewhere, at the other end of the scale, Ladbrokes state that Regan Gascoigne continues to run away with things in the betting for the title at 5/6.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Sally’s given it a good go this series but the odds suggest it’s the end of the road and back to The Street for the Corrie star this weekend.”
