Boxer Ricky Hatton has broken his silence after leaving Stephen Mulhern ‘bruised’ following that Dancing On Ice punch.
Comeback queen Holly Willoughby had encouraged contestant Ricky to “just hit him please” when she felt that Stephen was messing about live on air.
So he did just that, and viewers watched as Stephen dramatically toppled to the ground on Sunday (January 14) night’s show. Ricky later apologised on Instagram.
Ricky Hatton: ‘Sorry for the sore arm!’
Ricky addressed the incident on Instagram. He said: “What an experience going on Dancing On Ice tonight. In the dance off next week but big thanks to the best dancing partner @merobinorjane. Had my two gorgeous girls @xmilliexhattonx and @fearne_hattonxoxo there to support me and sorry to @stephenmulhern for the sore arm.”
The Dancing On Ice contestant even added a crying with laughter emoji for good measure!
His followers were quick to comment on the skit. Some even shared their glee at seeing Stephen get knocked down. One simply said: “Wacking Stephen Mulhern” alongside the laughing emoji.
Another mused: “Legend has it that Stephen is still in the recovery position.”
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Ricky shared a message about his family. He said: “&”
