Jessica Taylor fears 'Ice' axe

Jessica Taylor has revealed that she has been plagued by doubt as she prepares for her first Dancing On Ice performance.

The former Liberty X star has expressed fears that she will be speedily eliminated from the ITV1 skating competition in tonight's all-female round.

"I am worried about being sent home the first week," Taylor told The People. "You're in a bit of a bubble when practising with your partner - you can go over things again. But on the night, you've only got one chance to get it right. The judges are strict so it's daunting."

She added: "I remember being absolutely gobsmacked when I first watched Dancing On Ice. As the weeks go on, the standard really improves. I'd love to be in long enough to do the really hard stuff."

Graeme Le Saux became the first male celebrity to be eliminated last weekend.
