New Dancing On Ice judge Ruthie Henshall has vowed to do battle with fellow panel member Jason Gardiner when the show returns next week.

Ruthie, who is replacing Natalie Bestemianova on the panel, has already clashed with Jason backstage. She has promised that she will accept no nonsense from the judge, who is known for his outspoken comments on the ITV1 reality show.

"Let's just say there's no love lost between them," an insider told the Daily Star Sunday.

"It's no secret the other judges Robin Cousins and Nicky Slater get fed up with Jason's aggressive attitude to the contestants," the source added. "They are determined Jason won't rule the roost. Now they have Ruthie on board it will be a full-scale war."
