Dancing On Ice star Ria Hebden addresses avoiding family before show airs

Dancing on Ice star Ria Hebden has revealed that she refused to see her family before taking to the ice while on the programme.Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, the Lorraine presenter, 39, explained why she decided to avoid seeing her husband, Mark and her two children, as she needed to "protect her energy" ahead of her performance.Ria was partnered with professional skater Lukasz Rozycki during her stint on the popular ITV show.Speaking about her family's reaction to the news that she'd be starring on the programme, Ria shared how "proud" they were of her.Addressing her husband's reaction, she said: "He is my number one fan, he's like 'just do your thing, enjoy it.'"I know the kids are really proud of me already," she added.However, Ria explained that she had made the decision not to see her children before performing so that she can focus on her routine.The presenter said: "It's wonderful, I just know just having them there in the audience will be so lovely for the children as they're only little."But I'm not going to see any of them before I perform because for me I really need to focus and be calm and quiet and then after we can celebrate."I think when you do something like this you need to protect your energy, you know," she said.Ria shares two children, Noah and Lula, with her husband of 10 years, Mark.The Lorraine star was eliminated from the show during movie week following a skate-off with S-Club star Rachel Stevens and her partner Brendyn Hatfield.The same week, Kimberly Wyatt was awarded a high score of 34 following her routine to The Greatest Show.Taking to social media to address her exit, the star told how she was "proud" of what she had achieved, having previously revealed that she'd had no skating

Masked Singer UK's Robobunny identity 'uncovered' by ITV star as they point out clue

Ria Hebden has claimed The Masked Singer's Robobunny is Westlife's Mark Feehily.Ria, 39, said several clues Robobunny was Mark were the police badge, cowboy boots and a builders' hat he wears - because Westlife's World of Our Own music video was police themed and the group once tried to make it as country singers.Ria, who is known for appearing on TV programmes including Lorraine and This Morning, said: "This week I've put my detective hat on and we're trying to work out who Robobunny might be."There's a huge buzz online around Mark Feehily from Westlife and so I've been looking at some of the clues."From the VT we've got three major clues: a police badge, cowboy boots and a builders' hat."Could the police badge be a nod to Westlife's World of Our Own pop video? Because you'll remember that was police themed."Looking at the cowboy boots, Westlife did a documentary back in 2003 called 'Can Westlife Cut It?' where they went to Nashville to try and make it as country singers."With the builders' hat, could this link to when Westlife were battling it out against Bob the Builder in the charts and they missed out?"Lorraine was then left stunned after she pointed out at the back of Robobunny's suite there's a QR code which takes you to a website where it says 'my royal barcode is 200019992003' - the years when Westlife performed at the Royal Variety Performance."A gobsmacked replied: "Stop it! Wow."She added: "I think that is astonishing detective work, I take my hat off to you - that is incredible!"Viewers also rushed to Twitter to tell how they thought they were “convinced” they had worked out the celebrity behind the mask after spotting the barcode clue.Viewers swarmed to Twitter to share their thoughts on the possible clue
