OUT OF LOVE

Melody Thornton isn’t looking for love on Dancing on Ice despite pal Ashley Roberts’ Strictly romance

Melody and dance partner Alexander will become the first couple to attempt the headbanger move on tonight's episode

MELODY Thornton has ruled out a romance with her married Dancing on Ice partner Alexander Demetriou.

It comes after her Pussycat Dolls colleague Ashley Roberts has found love with Giovanni Pernice after they both starred on Strictly Come Dancing.

She : "I've dated someone I worked with before... I made that mistake later in my career and said to myself this is why you don't do it."

34-year-old Melody claims that mixing romance with your career doesn't allow mutual respect.

The singer explained: "Not only would I not want to be working with someone that I'm dating, when I'm at work I need that respect.

"I think sometimes the line gets crossed. That would be a no-no for me."

Her candid interview comes just hours before Dancing on Ice viewers see Melody tackle the daring headbanger move - making her and Alexander the first couple of the series to attempt it.

The move involves the male dancer spinning the female dancer from their ankles, moving her body in a circular motion with the female's head dangerously close to the ice.

Melody : "I'm upside down more than once in this routine.

"I struggled last week but I feel so much better this time."

The 34-year-old went on to claim she treats the harsh criticisms from the judging panel as "water on a duck's back."
