Dancing on Ice stars gear up for final
'Dancing on Ice' finalist Chris Fountain has played down his tag as favourite ahead of Sunday night's live final.
The 20-year-old 'Hollyoaks' star also insisted that his ice-hockey background does not give him an unfair advantage over the other contestants.
Fountain said: "I suppose it gave me a general awareness of the ice, but I still don't think I would have been scared to fall over because that's just the type of person I am - I throw myself into anything."
"I think I've tried some really difficult stuff and I don't feel like I've pushed myself less than anybody else. I don't feel like I've sat back on my experience and gone, 'I can do an easy routine and just sail my way through'."
Fellow finalist Suzanne Shaw said: "I think everyone's aware of how far they can push themselves."
"I know when to stop and I'm not stupid that I'll take it too far; that I will break something."
Former 'Coronation Street' star Zaraah Abrahams, who has also made the final of the show, said that she was skating for Michael Underwood, who was forced out of the show after he broke his ankle.
"They (Underwood and dance partner Melanie Lambert) often come down to our training and they get us going. They're so proud and we're so proud because we've done so well for them - we've got them into the final."

Sex and City not this child's destiny
FORMER Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland says she cried when told she had missed out on a part in the new Sex and the City movie.
The US singer said she auditioned for the role of Carrie Bradshaw's assistant in the new film.
The part was won by American Idol star Jennifer Hudson, who starred with Rowland's band mate Beyonce in Dreamgirls.
"The movie's awesome," Rowland, 27, said.
"When they called me and said I didn't get the part I did cry, I can't lie.
"I'm happy for Jennifer Hudson - she did a good job but I could have done just as good a job!
"But everything happens for a reason."
Rowland is in Australia to promote her hit single Work and second solo album Ms Kelly.
While she was tight-lipped on details of Beyonce's April marriage to Jay-Z, she did not rule out a reunion.
"Destiny's Child is part of me," Rowland said.
"Whenever the timing is right and comes together it'll happen. I'd want it to be a surprise."
And while Rowland is not the first celebrity to have breast enhancement surgery, she is one of the few to admit to it.
She said she went from an A-cup to a B-cup last October after a decade of deliberating over it.
"The last straw for me was putting on my favourite top and I looked like I was in kindgarten," Rowland said.
"I've had a lot of good feedback from being honest about it, especially from the young fans.
"I carry the fact I am a role model like a torch. I carry it with integrity.
"I wouldn't do anything to jeopardise that."
