Fountain surprised by 'Ice' tour reaction

Chris Fountain has revealed that he is surprised by the extent of the support he is receiving on the current Dancing on Ice live tour.

The Hollyoaks actor lost out to Suzanne Shaw in the final of the ITV1 reality show last month, but he has been extremely popular with fans who have bought tickets to see the skaters perform live.

"It's weird, because I'm getting a massive reaction from the public on the Dancing on Ice tour we're doing and yet that televised final was a public vote," Chris told the Daily Star. "So I'm thinking: 'Why didn't they all vote for me?'"

Asked about the moment he discovered Suzanne had won the competition, Fountain replied: "I was thinking: 'Oh f***!' I'd said I wasn't that desperate to win it. But getting to the final, I really wanted to. It was like: 'S**t, I'm a bit gutted now.' But, like I say, I've been getting a huge reaction. More than Suzanne, sometimes."
