Andrew Hayden-Smith reckons he already knows who's going to win Dancing On Ice when it returns next year.
The Hollyoaks star is backing his pal and co-star Stephanie Waring for victory, saying he doesn't think her fellow contenders will give her too much competition.
Geordie star Andrew joined Mirror Online showbiz reporters Vicki Newman and Rose Hill for the latest episode of In Reality.
The actor, who plays DS Gavin Armstong in the Channel 4 soap, told us: "I've known about it [Stephanie] for a little while and it's been a hard secret to keep. She's been coming into work after training and it sounds like she's doing really well, so I'm looking forward to seeing her on there.

"I'll definitely be supporting her."
