Sam Attwater's DOI sequin envy

Sam Attwater gets "sequin envy" of his fellow 'Dancing On Ice' contestants.

The former 'EastEnders' star - who is partnered alongside Canadian beauty Brianne Delcourt in the ITV1 show - admitted while he was initially reluctant to don flamboyant outfits, he now embraces the garish costumes.

He explained: "It's funny - when I first started I was like, 'I do not want to wear these outfits!' But now you find yourself getting sequin envy. Someone will have more sequins than you and you're like, 'I want more sequins! I want brighter colours!'

"It's weird what 'Dancing On Ice' does to you."

Despite having come to terms with the glitzy outfits he is forced to wear on the celebrity skating show, Sam thinks appearing on 'Dancing On Ice' has "wrecked" his body.

He added to new! magazine: "My legs are killing me. The show is so physically demanding, my body is wrecked. I don't know what's going on with my calf, but I keep getting ridiculous cramps in it. I'm in agony. My whole body is fading, as well as my mind!

"I'm just looking forward to the tour because Andi Peters says he's going to whip me into shape!"
