Samia Ghadie may look like she has decided to take the weight off her feet but it is all part of the master plan.
The Coronation Street actress was seen practicing a routine with a chair as she hit the ice on Wednesday afternoon.
The 30-year-old was preparing for props week on Dancing On Ice and was taking inspiration from her onscreen soap persona.

Samia, who plays hairdresser Maria Connor in Corrie, is using her experience from the programme's salon to bring her dance to life.
The mother-of-one and her ice skating partner Sylvain Longchambon used a table complete with hairspray, hairdryer and some professional looking equipment.
With their scene setting props in the background the chair on wheels took centre stage as Samia was slung around the ice by hunky Sylvain.

Ghadie will be hoping the inclusion of a chair will help score more points after finding herself in the skate-off last weekend.
Keith Chegwin was kicked off the show after failing to impress the judges with his skate-off skills with just Jason Gardiner voting to save him.
Keith didn't seem bitter about his defeat and said: 'I've waited a whole year to be on this show and it has not let me down.'
