Brooke Vincent broke down in tears before tonight's Dancing On Ice semi-final
The Corrie actress was feeling the pressure...
Brooke Vincent has earned herself a enviable reputation on Dancing On Ice, and is now the only female left in the competition.
Week after week, she's impressed the judges, but it looks like the pressure to perform is getting too much for Brooke, with leaked pictures showing her looking tearful and forlorn in rehearsals.
The 25-year-old was comforted by her partner, Matej Silecky, after she broke into floods of tears on the ice.
In leaked pictures, she's then seen hugging a concerned member of staff before attempting to learn the routine again.
Tonight, Brooke will battle against Max Evans, Kem Cetinay and Jake Quickenden for the top spot. She'll be performing two iconic tracks; Spice Girls' Who Do You Think You Are, and Ariana Grande's One Last Time.
She said, of the Spice Girls choice, when chatting to Holly and Phil on This Morning, 'We were allowed to choose our own song but we got given the Spice Girls, which for me is like living my childhood dream, as I grew up with them.

The dancers are under extra pressure tonight, due to the fact that they need to give 30-second solo performance during one of their routines.
Talking about the solo challenge, Brooke joked, 'We dance together then I have to do 30 seconds on my own... I have tripped twice this week! But I’m getting up quicker, at least!'
Her partner, Matej, who appeared alongside Brooke on This Morning, had nothing but praise for Brooke, however. He said, 'In short, I went through the audition process and ended up here, and I am so happy to be paired with Brooke as she’s been so amazing.
'I really can’t imagine being paired with anyone else.'
