Who is Caprice Bourret? Has she quit Dancing on Ice 2020?
She's dabbled in a number of different careers, but can she add figure skater to the list?
Who will be crowned Dancing On Ice champion? One star strapping her skates on this year is Caprice Bourret, a jack of all trades if ever there was one, having tried her hand at acting, singing, presenting and modelling as well as starting her own business.
And Caprice isn't looking to mess around in the competition, taking a strong stance from the off.
“I am definitely in it to win it," she said. "It’s going to be a laugh but I think anyone doing a show like this is competitive.
"I’ll probably tell the judges to go to hell and then carry on. I might answer back. If I don’t agree I won’t hold back, that’s for sure.
“If it’s constructive, I’ll embrace it and I take it on board. If they’re just doing it for the sake of it I will go for them.

Who is Caprice Bourret?
Caprice Bourret was born in California in 1971 and began a highly successful modelling career in the mid-1990s when she moved to the United Kingdom.
