Ryan Thomas has been spotted cosying up with his professional partner as the pair train for the new series of Dancing on Ice.

Former Coronation Street star Ryan, 39, was announced to be taking part in the new series of the ITV dancing show earlier in the year. He is set to join the likes of Olympic long jumper Greg Rutherford and former Love Island winner Amber Davies in the new series, which airs in the new year.

However, whilst the show is not set to premiere until January, all 12 couples are announced early so they are able to train in time for the first performance. Ryan was thus spotted this week training with his professional partner Amani Fancy at an ice rink.

But it seems the pair have already been getting hot and steamy as they try a number of raunchy moves during their routine. In one snap that was papped of the pair whilst they rehearsed, Amani runs into Celebrity Big Brother winner Ryan's arms, where he then runs his hands down her body.

Thomas then proceeds to pick his partner up and turn her upside down in a death-defying move. Amani later goes on to circle Ryan, which allows him to pull her through his legs.

Both Amani and Ryan have been getting on well together since the pair was announced last month. Speaking at the announcement, pro Fancy took to Instagram to share her delight at working with the former Home and Away actor.

And she went on to gush over her new partner: "Everything I thought Ryan may be, is true. The most genuinely empathetic, enthusiastic, cheeky, funny and ambitious man (all the things that make for a great skating partner) with such a huge heart, especially for his beautiful family!

"We’ve got an identical sense of humour (we spent most of the time cracking up and laughing at each other), the exact same habits, and an incredibly similar work ethic," she continued. "I think I’ve met me in male form!"

Dancing on Ice has already been left in chaos after Gogglebox star Stephen Webb was forced to pull out of the show due to sustaining an injury during training. World renowned Olympian Eddie the Eagle was later announced to be his replacement.

Dancing on Ice is set to air on ITV1 and ITVX in the new year.
