However, This Morning presenter Alison Hammond was also there to support fellow ITV star Ria Hebden last weekend - and the atmosphere was reportedly as icy as the frozen rink their friends were dancing on.Some might say that hapless yet heartfelt Bez needed his friend's support, as he faced the embarrassment of becoming the first Dancing on Ice contestant ever to require a crash helmet for his debut performance.Host Phillip Schofield had been gently ribbing the Happy Mondays star, who had even taken to the rink with protective braces all over his body, but he received the comments gamely.This is more than might be said for the brutal exchange between Shaun and Alison.According to the Daily Star, she approached him only to goad him with the words: "I never liked you! From the first minute I met you and spoke to you I never liked you."Shaun hit back to simply say: "I know!"It was far from the first time that the pair had met, after an awkward encounter on I'm A Celeb more than a decade earlier - and perhaps Shaun's words back then provided a clue that explained Alison's frosty attitude to him, after he compared her to "horse s***".Talking on the show, he appeared enraged to learn that a new contestant would be joining them, declaring that 13 was "too many"."Oh, more f**king people in the camp.

Last summer he explained that he “seriously thought [he] was going to die” as a result of the virus, saying he “couldn’t breathe”.The Dancing On Ice judging panel scored Bez and Egan 12.5 points out of a possible 40, though the pair’s performance was a hit with viewers.Bez wore full protective gear, including a helmet designed to look like a melon – a nod to the iconic ‘Step On’ line “You’re twistin’ my melon, man”.A pair of giant maracas were displayed at the back of the ice rink, while dancers dressed as slices of watermelon joined the pair later in the performance.

Lorraine star Ria Hebden, 38, was the first star to be selected for the dreaded skate-off despite a strong score of 24.5, which placed her third on the judges' leaderboard. However, the audience also plays a part in determining who gets through each week, and sadly Ria was not able to gain enough votes from Dancing On Ice viewers. Tonight, the show kicked off with Strictly pro Brendan Cole, who got the highest score of the night with 30.5 marks out of 40. Other contestants' scores included Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt with 30, Olympic BMX rider Kye Whyte with 24, Coronation Street’s Sally Dynevor with 23 and Bez from the Happy Mondays with 12.5. The other six contestants will compete at the same time next week to determine who will face off against Ria in the bottom two. Plenty of Dancing on Ice fans went on Twitter to share their thoughts on the outcome, with many lamenting that Ria’s fate was undeserved. Plenty of Ria’s pals were also quick to send in their support to the star on Twitter. Lorraine Kelly wrote: “My beautiful @riahebden did SO well tonight.
