Pallett: 'I found it hard to be sexy'

Roxanne Pallett has claimed that she found it difficult to perform "sexy" routines on Dancing On Ice.

The Emmerdale actress, who was voted off the ITV skating contest last night, revealed that she was outside her comfort zone performing to Pussycat Dolls in a tiny red costume.

"I don't think any girl out there ever feels really sexy if she was properly honest," she told Digital Spy. "I'm really clumsy, a real clutz, so I'm more likely to fall off a chair than look sexy on it. To give me such a sexy song and sexy outfit to live up to, I felt out of my depth."

The soap star said that it was only thanks to the support of her family and close friends that she managed to get through her final performances on Sunday.

"On the night, I had loads of my girlfriends all saying 'be a Pussycat Doll for the night and lose yourself in the music'. So I did and I really came alive in that song."

Pallett also revealed that one of the most unusual experiences she had on the reality show was being taught her raunchy routine by skater Christopher Dean.

"On Monday morning where we get an hour's tuition, I had Christopher Dean teaching me lapdancing with a chair," she said.

"[He was] showing me all his sexy moves - that was worth signing up for in itself! It was brilliant. He was such a laugh, both Chris and Jayne [Torvill] are a real hoot to work with."
