Dancing On Ice star Heidi Range: OMG! I’m a size 8

Dancing On Ice’s Heidi on her super-toned new figure

Heidi Range joined Sugababes in 2001

She's one third of the Sugababes, one half of a skating duo - and a whole lot of nervous wreck.
Dancing On Ice star Heidi Range admits: ‘I'm getting better as the weeks go on but it's really nerve-wracking.'
On the plus side 5ft 2in Heidi, 28 - who revealed in December that she'd split from fiancé Dave Berry - says she's lost a stone from being flung around the ice by partner Andrei Lipanov.
‘I'm not complaining - I've never been able to shift it before,' she grins.

'I'm a size 6-8 now. I was a size 8 on top anyway but a 10 on the bottom.
'Now I'm 7½st and my waist's about 24in. My stomach and arms have got really toned too, from holding myself in position on the lifts.'
Heidi's clothes are too big for her - but she'll need them all if she goes back to her normal size after the show.
'My sister's been raiding my wardrobe,' she says, 'so if I put it back on I'll be like: "Erm can I have me old clothes back please?"'

Sugababe Heidi Range admits ice skating is taking her mind off a broken heart

Sugababe Heidi Range admits ice skating is taking her mind off a broken heart

The 28-year-old singer says the ITV show has proved a lifeline after she broke up with fiance, DJ Dave Berry, after eight years together

Considering she has spent the last few months being flung around the ice in a series of potentially bone-breaking moves, it’s a surprise to learn Heidi Range is terrified of skating.
And not just skating – a chat with the Sugababes star quickly reveals she is terrified of almost everything.
But in a more emotional moment, she also opens up about how her stint on Dancing On Ice is helping take her mind off her agonising split from the man she planned to marry.
The 28-year-old singer says the ITV show has proved a lifeline after she broke up with fiance, DJ Dave Berry, after eight years together.
Admitting the show followed an “incredibly difficult” time in her personal life, Heidi says: “I never thought for a second I’d do it.
“I’d never have considered it because I really am a scaredy cat by nature – I’m terrified of almost everything.
“I’m scared of walking in the dark, sleeping on my own, driving on motorways, heights – I’m a genuinely safety conscious person.
“The other day me and my skating partner Andrei Lipanov almost had our only row because he didn’t have his seatbelt on – it was bothering me.
“I’ve even got myself a helmet for practising, even though Andrei insists I don’t need one.”

Showgirl: Heidi says she's embracing the outfits needed for the programme

ITV
But she says the show was a welcome relief when her relationship with Capital FM breakfast show presenter Dave broke down ahead of their planned marriage later this year – Heidi had already decided on a Vera Wang dress.
She says: “Dancing on Ice was a great distraction from the break-up. It’s been good fun and different to throw myself into rather than sitting at home thinking about it.
“I’ll be lost when it finishes because it really does take over your whole life, and I have gone from a really difficult phase to throwing myself into this and absolutely loving it.
“I really don’t know what I’ll do with myself when it’s over.”
The break-up stunned fans who had considered the pair one of the strongest in showbusiness when Heidi made the announcement on her Twitter page in December. She wrote: “Very sadly, after eight years together, myself and Dave decided to separate. I wish him nothing but the best in life.”
Although the pair are determined to remain pals, they had a tiff when they met at last month’s National TV Awards. After Heidi referred to a gift she had bought Dave, he retorted: “Well, I still pay your Sky bill”.
Now, chatting at the show’s training rink, where she put me through my paces on the ice with a few of her newly learnt moves, Heidi added: “I’m really enjoying being single right now.”
The welcome distraction from her personal trauma may even have made her countless skating injuries worthwhile.
She says: “I hurt my knees yesterday, but the first bad fall was when my bone came right out of my wrist. I fell while practising a really simple step but it was an awkward fall. I heard it make a loud crack. They took me straight to hospital, where I was sobbing as they told me they thought it was broken.

Elegant: With dancing partner Andrei

ITV
“I was distraught at the thought of having to quit the show, but luckily it wasn’t broken. The bone had just come out of the joint. The physio is like a magician and she managed to twist it in a funny way and shove it back in.
“It’s become so frequent I’ve got used to being in pain. I’m almost expecting to be carrying an ice pack, heat pack, stitches – I’ve stopped being shocked.
“I cut my leg open with the blade of my skate on film week – the blade went into my leg and I had to have it stitched up. It was only one stitch but I wasn’t even surprised anymore.
“I’m at the stage where as long as the bones aren’t broken I’m fine with it.”
Injuries almost ended Heidi’s chances in the contest even before it began, when her original professional skating partner Sylvain Longchambon was forced to pull out days before the first live show.
An injury in rehearsals left the Frenchman with a torn bicep, and appeared to leave Heidi’s dreams in tatters after finally gaining the confidence to be lifted on the ice. “I had six weeks learning with Sylvain before Christmas, and then on the last day before the break we had a show and tell session where everyone performed their routines for the other contestants.
“We’d just started skating and out of nowhere he ruptured his bicep, right at the beginning of the routine. That’s when I met Andrei. We only had about six days of training before the first show so I did worry we would struggle.”
Heidi admits: “I was upset. You get really close to your partner and spend and lot of time together building up trust.
“So to then be lifted up into the air by someone different is terrifying. We’ve been working together about five weeks now and that trust has come back, but I had to just do it straight away with Andrei and that was terrifying.

Oh, Hei: She lifts a leg in training

“I just had to do it because the show was coming up, he kept asking, ‘Don’t you trust me?’ and I was telling him I did, but I don’t trust myself. I’m jumpy and edgy, I wriggle and shake.
“It’s a very unnatural feeling being thrown around and lifted up in the air. Every time I try something new I scream my head off.” After six weeks on the show Heidi has finally come to love the competition, and is desperate to stay in the running despite criticism from some of the judges and a few lecherous remarks about her racy outfits.
“The judges have been very fair and constructive,” she says. “So I appreciate them and take on board what they say and try to work on what they tell me.
“I like Jason Gardiner, I know him and he’s a lovely guy, but I think the new panel are brilliant – Louie is fantastic and I just love listening to what he comes out with on everyone’s comments.
“You don’t see a lot of the judges off screen – occasionally in hair and make-up but to be honest I think they’re trying to keep it very professional. You don’t meet them in the bar after the show on a Sunday night or anything. I guess they don’t feel it’s right, and don’t want anyone suggesting that they’re getting too friendly with any of us.
“It’s nice to know that people like the outfits – I tried on the gold catsuit before Christmas and it really scared me.
“I genuinely upped my gym sessions and cut down on carbs over Christmas, but I think that was probably the scariest outfit.
“I think on this show you’ve just got to embrace the costumes – I don’t know that I’m going to win any votes from them, but I guess some blokes might be tuning in for that kind of thing.
“I can’t imagine why they would, but then I haven’t got a man’s mind…”
OK, I admit it. I’ve sat watching Dancing On Ice and scoffed at some
of the hapless performances. Not any more.

Dancing On Ice 2012: Heidi Range ‘sobbed’ when she thought she would be forced to leave

Dancing On Ice 2012: Heidi Range ‘sobbed’ when she thought she would be forced to leave

February 12th, 2012 by Lisa McGarry.

Heidi Range has admitted that she was devastated, when it looked like she might have to leave Dancing On Ice last month.
Before the ITV series kicked off for it’s 2012 run, the Sugababes star injured her wrist and at one point worried that it was broken and she would be forced to pull out of the lineup. Keith Chegwin and Chesney Hawkes had both injured themselves so badly, that they were forced to leave the show before the televised rounds even began and when it looked like Range would follow suit, she confessed that she sobbed over the prospect.
“They took me straight to hospital, where I was sobbing as they told me they thought it was broken,” she explained to The Mirror. “I was distraught at the thought of having to quit the show, but luckily it wasn’t broken.”
However, Heidi has had to endure quite a lot of pain and describing how her injury was treated, she continued:
“The bone had just come out of the joint. The physio is like a magician and she managed to twist it in a funny way and shove it back in.
“It’s become so frequent I’ve got used to being in pain. I’m almost expecting to be carrying an ice pack, heat pack, stitches – I’ve stopped being shocked… I’m at the stage where as long as the bones aren’t broken I’m fine with it.”
Range’s bad luck continued all the same and six days before the series started on ITV1, her partner Sylvain Longchambon injured his rib and was forced to pull out. He was replaced by pro skater Andrei Lipanov and Heidi admitted that she was ‘upset’ at having to bond with a new partner, in such a short space of time.
The blonde beauty recently revealed that she is dreading Dancing On Ice coming to an end, as it has proved to be a huge distraction for her, following her breakup from former fiance Dave Berry.
Dancing On Ice returns tonight, for a Valentines Day themed episode and we’ve been told that the costumes planned for Heidi and fellow contestants Jennifer Ellison are hot, hot, hot!

'Dancing On Ice is a distraction:' Heidi Range reveals how she is getting over Dave Berry

'Dancing On Ice is a distraction:' Heidi Range reveals how she is getting over Dave Berry

By J J Anisiobi

Last updated at 10:31 AM on 11th February 2012

Being thrown around an ice rink and attempting dangerous moves that could result in serious injury is not what most people would enjoy.

Although Heidi Range is terrified of falling flat on Dancing On Ice she is happy that the show is helping distract her from her recent heartbreak.

The Sugababe split up with the man she wanted to marry and after eight years together the pain was too much to bare.

Happy days: Heidi Range says Dancing On Ice is helping her get over Dave Berry

The 28-year-old was engaged to radio presenter Dave Berry and after they broke up she admitted that times got tough and she found the whole situation 'incredibly difficult.'

She told the Daily Mirror: 'Dancing on Ice was a great distraction from the break-up. It’s been good fun and different to throw myself into rather than sitting at home thinking about it.'

The show has acted like a safety net for the Liverpool born singer and although she has just announced that she will be taking part in the DOI tour, she is scared about finishing the program.

Ice queen: The Sugababe has lost weight since taking part in the show

She told the newspaper: 'I really don’t know what I’ll do with myself when it’s over.'

Heidi said that the end of last year was the worst time of her life but she is slowly becoming herself again and there are no hard feelings between her and Berry.

'We’re still great friends and I saw him last week... but it’s hard. Dancing On Ice has got me through it. It’s given me a new lease of life,' she told the Sunday Mirror last month.

Slim fit: Miss Range is back in shape thanks to Dancing On Ice training

Heidi, had been engaged to Dave, 33, over New Year in 2009.

She added: 'My life’s been turned upside down and I don’t know what is going to happen.

'I’m thinking about a solo album, I’m thinking about TV presenting, I’m thinking the world is my oyster right now. For 10 years every part of my life has been planned. It’s been in the diary. It’s exciting to be making a fresh start.

'This show has been brilliant. It’s given me confidence and I’ve got my groove back.'

She revealed that even the couple's closest friends didn't know about the split until it was made public.

The star has lost more than a stone since preparation began for the show and fits into a size six jeans.

'The weight loss has been brilliant,' she said.

'I was just over eight-and-a-half stone before I started. I’m 5ft 2in and I’ve always had to work really hard on my figure.

'Now I’m more toned than ever. I see my personal trainer three times a week, on top of the skate training.'

Sugababes' Heidi Range: I never thought I'd do Dancing On Ice

Sugababes' Heidi Range has admitted she has no idea how she initially got through Dancing On Ice - because she is such a "scaredy cat".
The star took to the TV talent show with a sense of trepidation, it seems - but she soon grew to love the show.
And she even admitted that she's scared of the dark and sleeping on her own. She told the Mirror:
"I never thought for a second I’d do it. I’d never have considered it because I really am a scaredy cat by nature - I'm terrified of almost everything. I'm scared of walking in the dark, sleeping on my own, driving on motorways, heights - I'm a genuinely safety conscious person. The other day me and my skating partner Andrei Lipanov almost had our only row because he didn't have his seatbelt on - it was bothering me. I've even got myself a helmet for practising, even though Andrei insists I don't need one."
Range had also previously said that she feels her stint on the show has helped her get through her break-up with long-term boyfriend Dave Berry.

Stars create self-portraits for charity

Posted: 01/30/2012

JESSIE J, JASON DERULO and the SUGABABES have donated unique personal artwork to an auction in aid of a Scottish children's hospice charity.
Singers Will Young and Pixie Lott as well as British boy bands One Direction, JLS and The Wanted also contributed doodles to be sold off to raise cash for the Children's Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS).
Jessie J crafted a self-portrait and kissed the paper to leave a lipstick mark on the face, while Derulo depicted himself as a microphone with a giant afro. Young sketched a cartoon chicken, and Lott painted the Scottish countryside alongside her autograph.
The signed images will be auctioned off at a Real Radio charity event on 14 April (12).

We know Heidi Range can move graciously in difficult footwear - but now the Sugababe is just showing off.

The blonde bombshell has been skating her to victory each week on Dancing On Ice, and now the 28-year-old is trying her luck at skyscrapers.

Today, Heidi showcased her svelte new frame in a pair of spray-on metallic trousers, teaming the skintight creation with multi-coloured mega-heels.

Her trademark tresses tumbled loosely over her shoulders, having been teased into soft curls and decorated with a plait.

Those shows weren't made for walking: Heidi totters along in skyscrapers

She added a further splash of colour with a blue Chanel handbag and large silver hoop earrings that peeped out beneath her locks.

This afternoon Heidi will learn what song and choreography she will be performing to on Sunday with skating partner Andrei Lipanov.

She tweeted: 'On my way to get routine 4 for this wks DOI, excited!'

During her interview with Holly Willoughby and Eamonn Holmes on This Morning, Heidi explained how she felt during last week's duel.

Celebrity skaters were paired together, dancing to the same song, before the judges picked which one was safe and which one would have to face the public vote.

She said: 'It was terrifying because I've been in the skate-off and that feeling of standing under those spotlights waiting for your name to be called is horrible.

'I really genuinely thought when we walked down to the judges that they were going to put Charlene (Tilton) through and I'm going to have to start tweeting everyone to keep me in.'

Ready for a rave: Heidi looked as though she was about to go clubbing

Heidi added: 'I've grown up singing, and I've done it since I was three and its like second nature to me - this is definitely not second nature!

'You're on two blades being thrown in the air and its a scary thought, but the last two weeks I've enjoyed it rather than being consumed with nerves.'

The Push The Button singer also revealed: 'I've lost a stone since the start... and I'm not going to complain because I've always had to watch what I eat, and go to the gym and eat healthy, so this is great.'

Rival Chico also guest-starred on the sofa with her, revealing he bonded with Stand By Me child actor Corey Feldman - who was evicted on Sunday.

Chico said: 'I was the person that went beyond the shell and found that there's a sensitive person who was a really nice guy, and he just didn't want to be mocked or be the butt of the jokes basically.

'Corey is Corey, I enjoyed watching him, I thought he was very entertaining and he was just a bit misunderstood and deep down he's a lovely guy.'

Heidi Range, Matthew Wolfenden and Jorgie Porter reveal all

It appears as though all the long hours of practice and countless bruises have paid off for Dancing On Ice star Heidi Range after she revealed that she's enjoying her new slimmer figure.
Speaking to us on the red carpet at the National Television Awards on Wednesday night, the popstar revealed that she was "enjoying the benefits of the exercise" she has been getting from the show.
The star, who found herself in the skate-off in the first week, also gushed about how much she's enjoying the show, telling us: "I love it. I've just loved every minute of it. It's terrifying but it's exciting and I just wish I was doing it for the ret of the year."
Remaining coy on who she thought was her competition, Heidi said: "Everyone's your competition on the show, it's a really strong year". However her fellow DOI star wasn't as coy and told us that Hollyoaks' Jorgie Porter was his competition.
He said: "Jorgie is incredible on the ice, she looks amazing."
Asked if he had any tricks up his sleeve for this weekend's show, the Emmerdale actor hinted: "I've got a couple of tricks up my sleeve tonight."

'I didn't have any roast potatoes at Christmas!' Heidi Range reveals her terror over donning THAT catsuit for Dancing On Ice

By Sarah Bull

Last updated at 3:16 PM on 27th January 2012

She wowed fans when she skated on to the rink on last weekend's Dancing On Ice wearing an entirely unforgiving skintight gold catsuit.

But Heidi Range revealed today she was so terrified about getting into the all-in-one that she dieted over Christmas to ensure there were no unsightly lumps and bumps.

The 28-year-old Sugababes star told Kate Garraway and Dan Lobb on Daybreak this morning that the thought of wearing the catsuit on the ITV talent show was enough to put her off her roast dinner over the festive season.

Slender: Heidi Range showed off her slender figure in a pair of skintight black leggings as she arrived at the ITV studios this morning

She said: 'I tried that catsuit on before Christmas so there was no roast potatoes Christmas day.

Terror: The skintight gold catsuit was entirely unforgiving

'I had a fear about that catsuit for a long time.'

Heidi has lost a stone since she started training for Dancing On Ice, and showed off her newly svelte figure on Daybreak this morning in a pair of super-tight black leggings and sky-high heels.

Talking about her changing shape, Heidi said: 'I've lost a stone since I started and I'm not complaining, I'm loving it.'

Heidi, who was joined on the sofa by skating partner Andrei Lipanov, also spoke about the Dancing On Ice twist this weekend which will see the celebrity contestants 'duel' against each other.

She explained: 'It's two couples per song and you are competing against someone else so we are competing against Charlene and Matt.

'But I'm really enjoying it. I don't want to go out of it - I love it.

'Are they or aren't they?' speculation has been circulating the industry for weeks.

And now it appears as though the cat is out of the bag; the original Sugababes are indeed reforming - if Emeli Sandé is to be believed.

The singer/songwriter let slip earlier this week that she has been writing material for the original line-up, Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy.

Despite Mutya previously denying the rumours, Emeli wasn't so coy when quizzed on the speculation that she has been working with the girl group.

The Heaven singer told MTV: 'Yes, that is true. I’ve written for the original line-up of the Sugababes, which I’m very happy about because I just loved them when they first came out.

'I loved their sound, it was so cool. It was very different, so I’m happy to kind of be involved in what started the whole Sugababes journey. It sounds amazing.'

Whispers started after both Keisha and Mutya tweeted about working in the studio with Professor Green on the same day in early January.

Keisha wrote on January 5: 'Hanging out in the studio with @professorgreen and two lovely ladies with bags of talent :-p lol.'

Mutya tweeted: '@ studio wit professor green in tha building and 2 beautiful ladies' (sic).

The Daily Mirror quoted a source this week as claiming: 'The girls are very much back to their soulful roots but this time around it's far more innovative.

New faces: The current Sugababes Jade Ewen, Amelle Berrabah and Heidi Range

'They've recorded more tracks too - and they're working hard to get a body of new work.

'Siobhan has left her job in the City and they are concentrating on getting material together for an album. They are very dedicated and it's working well.'

If the rumours are true, the girls will have to reform under a different moniker.

As the current line-up of Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen are still operating as the Sugababes, the original three will have to come up with a new name.
