Dancing On Ice's Hannah Spearritt in tears over song choice's special meaning
Dancing On Ice star Hannah Spearritt tearfully revealed that dancing to Frozen's Let It Go holds a special meaning to her as that was her daughter's favourite movie while recovering in hospital.
The 42 year old skating star and former S Club 7 singer, revealed the news during a clip of her in rehearsals sat next to her skating professional partner. When she found out that she was playing Elsa in the family favourite film, she attempted to hold back tears as she admitted why that particular song resonated with her. She said: "Last Christmas my youngest daughter, she had an accident and while she was in hospital she watched Frozen, like over and over again. So for her to see me as Elsa, it would be super magical."

And sat outside on the steps of the theatre, she sat her youngest daughter on her lap and explained:"mummy is playing Elsa." Speaking to the camera, she said: "I just hope I can do my girls proud and do an amazing Elsa on ice."
In an exclusive chat with The Mirror, Hannah confessed that she felt like quitting the ITV show after feeling ill. The former pop star, who has suffered from an auto-immune condition since 2013, missed at least two rehearsal sessions just one week after a tooth infection triggered a relapse. She claimed that she felt so sick during some of her rehearsals, she ended up crying.
Hannah, who is paired with Andy Buchanan, said: "I was so excited about joining Dancing On Ice. It was the perfect opportunity after the S Club 7 reunion didn’t work out, and I wanted to get back to something physical. As a mum, I don’t get much chance to exercise and I felt it was what my body needed after everything I went through last year."

She continued: "But three weeks into training, I lost half a tooth and – though I didn’t know it at the time – it caused an infection. Suddenly I was crying, ill, getting headaches, and I got illness after illness. Norovirus, flu… All I wanted to do was train, but I was just too ill. I was completely stressed because the show team were ringing me, asking if I would be able to train tomorrow and I wanted to say yes, but didn’t know how I’d feel."
She added: "It was out of my control, and I felt so guilty about letting everyone down – especially my skating partner Andy, who is lovely. I was worried I would have to pull out of the show, I was missing so much. Even my partner thought I wouldn’t return after Christmas because I was so ill. I was determined to go back, but I was skating around white as a sheet and sweating. Anyone could see I wasn’t right. One day, I felt so sick it was overwhelming. I had to come off the ice and just burst into tears."
