Kem Cetinay shows off his moves as gets in some last minute practice ahead of Dancing On Ice launch
The Love Island star, 21, has come on leaps and bounds since signing up for the show in September
KEM Cetinay is making good progress on the ice ahead of tonight's Dancing On Ice launch.
The Love Island star, 21, was put through his paces by partner Alex Murphy as they practised their routine at a Hertfordshire rink.
The reality favourite looked steady on his feet as he moved his arms while gliding across the ice.
Kem was all smiles as he posed with Alex wearing an all-black ensemble from Boohoo.
He appears to have come a long way since the wobbles he had when he first signed up to the show last autumn.
Despite his smiley facade, yesterday Kem admitted he is struggling to get over his split from Amber Davies after she was linked to Olly Murs and Towie’s Pete Wicks.
The ex-hairdresser admits seeing his ex moving on with another celebrity has left him “gutted”, making the recovery process so much worse.
Speaking in his first newspaper chat since the split, which The Sun revealed last month, Kem said: “I’m not going to lie when I say that it does really hurt. I am gutted. It does make me sad. It is hard to see.
“I am not going to sit here and say it is fine — I still have feelings for her — but at the end of the day, if she wants to date a celeb then I have to accept it. There’s nothing I can say.” Just before Christmas it was revealed Amber had shared flirty messages with singer Olly, and on Thursday night she appeared to be getting close to Towie hunk Pete in a video posted on social media.
The romance between Kem and Amber ended four months after they hooked up in the Love Island villa before eventually going on to win the ITV2 show. Kem chose to split the £50,000 prize money with Amber rather than take it all for himself in the final episode of the series before they shacked up in Essex.
But after several rows, the couple called off their romance before agreeing to each keep their £25k winnings.
He said: “Like in any relationship, there were triggers and things happened and I started to notice things. Of course we rowed and bickered.But it was a mutual decision and we sat down together and in the end we split to see how we feel.”

Kem is now concentrating on winning another reality show, Dancing On Ice, which kicks off on ITV at 6pm tonight.
But if he has his way, Kem might just return to more familiar surroundings now he’s single again.
He said: “I would go back on Love Island. I should apply under a different name — that would be good, wouldn’t it?”
