Dancing on Ice bosses have warned Ray Quinn and Chris Fountain to tone down their on-ice rivalry amid safety fears.

Executives are concerned that their competitiveness may lead to them taking dangerous and unnecessary risks during the live tour.

Chris Fountain told The Star that he had vowed to defeat the reigning champion.

The 21-year-old actor admitted that he was determined to beat Ray and said that he has spent many hours on the ice to get back to top form.

He said: "Ray's very good, but the battle is on.

"Hopefully I'll be the overall winner at the end."

Ray, who will resume his championship winning partnership with Maria Filippov, played down the threat from the former Hollyoaks star.

Ray said: "He does his thing and I have my own tricks.

"We will just go out there and do our best and try not to be too dangerous."
