Sugababes singer Heidi Range and her ex-fiancee Dave Berry are still "very good friends" despite their split. The couple were due to marry in early 2012 but called time on their eight-year relationship last autumn after growing apart, but the radio-and-TV presenter insists he and Heidi are still close.

When asked if they just drifted apart, he said: "Yeah, it's just one of those things. But we're very good friends. I'm still supporting 100 per cent (in everything she does). I like to know she's alright."

Heidi Range reckons that she needs to keep her weight down after being booted off Dancing On Ice – despite having a waist the size of our thumb (not even the big one –the left hander).

The Sugababe was axed from the ITV1 show last night, after facing free runner Sebastien Foucan and skier Chemmy Alcott in the skate-off.

Dancing on Ice star Heidi Range was eliminated after coming bottom of the leader board. The Sugababe singer has admitted that she was unhappy when Katarina Witt told her she relied too much on her partner Andrei Lipanov for the lifts.

Range hit back by saying Katarina is a solo skater and never did lifts in her own routines.After her performance Witt told Heidi: "Your step sequence was very slow and you are preying on the strength of Andrei and that he's able to do all those great lifts with you."

Axed Dancing on Ice star Heidi Range has revealed that she feels proud of herself for taking part in the show and is leaving with her head held high.

The Sugababe had been struggling to learn some challenging new moves for this week’s ultimate skills test, and when she found herself in the bottom three against Sebastien Foucan and Chemmy Alcott, she struggled to keep her cool.

Heidi Range and Sebastien Foucan wept as they were booted off Dancing On Ice in last night's double-exit show. They lost out following a tough solo "skills" skate-off along with skier Chemmy Alcott after the three came bottom of the public vote.

The trio had to perform a set sequence of 23 steps without their partners to keep their place in the series. Chemmy was saved by the judges after Sebastien forgot the routine and Heidi was "hesitant". The Sugababes singer said: "I've had the time of my life." Freerunner Sebastien added: "It was a fantastic adventure for me."

Heidi Range and Sebastien Foucan have been booted off Dancing On Ice in this week's double elimination, following a skate-off which saw the bottom three have to perform a solo routine.

The Sugababes singer - who had been one of the bookies' favourites to leave - and the French athlete lost out to Olympic skiier Chemmy Allcott, who was also in the skate-off but was saved by head judge Robin Cousins.

Heidi Range is more nervous than usual about this week's Dancing On Ice after Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean gave her a move that makes her sick. The Sugababe will be spun horizontally above partner Andrei Lipanov's head — and she finds it terrifying.

The first time they tried the skyscraper lift, Heidi had to rush off the ice to vomit. She said: "It is terrifying. We practised it once before and I threw up. Touch wood I won't be sick on his head! I just have to close my eyes."

Dancing on Ice star Heidi Range is thrilled with her new toned figure from all her training. The Sugababes singer admitted that she is still a nervous wreck on ice.

She said: "I'm getting better as the weeks go on but it's really nerve-wracking." Heidi revealed that training with her professional partner Andrei Lipanov has helped her to shed a stone in weight.

Heidi Range has admitted that she was devastated by the possibility of having to quit Dancing on Ice over an early injury. Prior to the launch of the show the Sugababes singer was told she may have a broken wrist after an awkward fall.

She told the Daily Mirror: "They took me straight to hospital, where I was sobbing as they told me they thought it was broken. "I was distraught at the thought of having to quit the show, but luckily it wasn't broken.

Dancing on Ice star Heidi Range has revealed that she is frightened of skating. However, she says that training is taking her mind off her split from her boyfriend DJ Dave Berry.

The couple had been planning to tie the knot after eight years together. The 28-year-old admitted that the show followed and "incredibly difficult" time in her personal life.

Chico and Heidi Range have been confirmed for the Dancing on Ice 2012 tour. Sam Attwater, who won the 2011 championship, will also be performing in the tour.

The sixth live Dancing on Ice UK tour begins on April 13, at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle. Olympic champions Christopher Dean and Jayne Torvill choreograph the show and train the celebrities.

In an effort to perfect her triple axel, Heidi Range loves nothing more* than coming home of a Sunday evening and replaying her Dancing On Ice performances on TV. But not for much longer if ex-fiance Dave Berry has his way.

The couple, who announced their split last month, engaged in an extraordinary spat at the NTA awards, with the DJ claiming he still paid her Sky satellite bills. All thirty quid a month of it.

Dancing On Ice celebrity Heidi Range has revealed that working on the show has helped her cope with her split from fiance Dave Berry.

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror the Sugababes singer said it had given her "a new lease of life". "The end of last year was awful," she admitted. "Splitting with Dave was horrible and I'm not over it. We're still great friends and I saw him last week, but it's hard. But Dancing On Ice has got me through it."

Heidi Range has admitted her Dancing On Ice performances are not exactly music to the ears because she cannot stop grunting.

The 28-year-old Sugababes singer has revealed she is the Maria Sharapova of the rink as sounds spill from her lips due to the exertion of routines.

Heidi Range has confessed that she was worried that she would suffer a skating calamity during her Dancing on Ice debut. The Sugababes singer told a tabloid newspaper that she was "scared" that she would suffer a spectacular failure on the ice.

She told the Daily Mirror: "When I first started, I never thought I'd be skating backwards and I was terrified of the lifts.

Dancing On Ice kicked off last weekend in a haze of sequins, St Tropez and injuries. With the appointment of Louie Spence on the judging panel (replacing acid-tongued Jason Gardiner), and Christine Bleakley stepping into Holly Willoughby’s Jimmy Choos, the new-look show has more razzle dazzle than ever before.

And when we turn up to the rink at Elstree Studios to shoot three of this year’s contestants, a full-blown training session is underway. The whole cast are throwing their best shapes under the critical eyes of Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.

Sugababe Heidi Range initially set the pace on Dancing On Ice last night – opening the show by scoring 12.5 with partner Andrei Lipanov, dancing to Katy Perry's E.T.

Despite her high points tally, the public vote put Heidi into a do-or-die dance-off with Andy Akinwolere. Judges Louie Spence and Robin Cousins chose to keep Heidi in, with only newcomer Katarina Witt trying to save Andy.

Warning: confusing story ahead. The original line-up of the Sugababes have reunited - though they can't be called the Sugababes, as the new Sugababes are still called The Sugababes. Still with us? Good good.

So Siobhan Donaghy, Mutya Buena and Keisha Buchanan, who all left the original Sugababes one by one, have formed a new band, which is yet to be named. Mainly because Heidi Range, Amelle Berebah and Jade Ewan - who all replaced the girls - are now the new Sugababes, so the name's already taken.

Sugababes singer Heidi Range has reassured fans that the girl group haven’t broken up despite her appearance on STV show Dancing On Ice.

The three-piece don’t have any immediate plans, which may lead to speculation that a split is on the cards, though for the moment Heidi says they’re just spending some time apart.
