Dancing On Ice star Danniella Westbrook has been taking pole-dancing lessons in a bid to improve her chances in the competition, a report claims.

The former EastEnders actress has been dancing at Secrets in Covent Garden in recent weeks as she tries to shape up for her performances on the ice, according to The Mirror.

Speaking of the classes, a source told the newspaper: "There's no way she'd miss them. She's hooked."

Westbrook was once among the bookies' favourites to win the ITV1 skating show, but her odds have drifted since she found herself in the bottom two for two consecutive weeks.

In Sunday night's live round, the soap star was saved over Mikey Graham in the skate-off, but outspoken judge Jason Gardiner has since blamed 'favouritism' for the decision.
