Taylor's 'Ice' future 'touch and go'

Jessica Taylor is considering pulling out of Dancing on Ice to support her husband Kevin Pietersen, a report claims.

The former Liberty X singer is said to be reeling after Pietersen decided to quit as the England cricket captain this week.

An insider told the Daily Star Sunday: "Jessica is finding the whole thing with Kevin really difficult. She had got used to the fact that he'd be on tour while she was on the show and wouldn't be around to give her much support - but she didn't think she would be supporting him.

"It's a really tough time for Kev and he needs his wife more than ever - but she's facing a schedule of 9-5 training every day, while the world's press is camped on her doorstep. It's touch and go if she will last the week."

Taylor and her dance partner Pavel Aubrecht's first performance is scheduled for next weekend's live show. Tonight's launch episode will see the male celebrities competing on the ice for the first time.
