Steven Arnold 'too hungover for DOI rehearsal'

Steven Arnold missed a vital 'Dancing On Ice' rehearsal because he was too hungover to skate.

The former 'Coronation Street' actor had enjoyed an alcohol-fuelled night out with some fellow contestants and slept in the following day, which led to his professional skating partner Nina Ula giving him a huge telling off.

A show source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Nina was in the right when she shouted at him. She was really angry with Steven fir ruining their chances of doing well. Nina refused to speak to him at first when they met up, but Steven was very apologetic and is now trying to make up for lost time."

Nina later tweeted: "Back to work with Steven. Hard routine for him this week. A looooooooooooooooot to work on. (sic)"

However, Steven is not the only contestant on the ITV1 show to have had his work schedule interrupted by booze-fuelled night out.

Denise Welch failed to appear on 'Loose Women' on Monday (10.01.11) after a 10-hour bender with the 'Dancing On Ice' crew.

The former 'Coronation Street' star - who is appearing alongside Matt Evers in the celebrity skating series - was reportedly given a strict talking to by ITV1 bosses after calling in sick to the chatshow with a hangover.
