Ever since taking to her skates at the start of this year's Dancing On Ice, Jorgie Porter has been wowing with her skills and fearless moves.

But the Hollyoaks star is pushing herself to the max ahead of this week's grand finale - by attempting the show's most dangerous stunt ever.

The petite blonde has been practising a move which will see her thrown into the air by three male skaters, who then turn around before catching her.



And she is so scared about carrying out the move they have been using a carpet to practise the manouevre in her place.


The 24-year-old has opted to try out the risky move with her dance partner Matt Evers in a last ditch attempt to impress the judges and get votes during this weekend's final.

But she's not completely confident she'll be able to pull it off after the dancers managed to drop the carpet on the ice during rehearsals.

She told the Daily Star: 'It's the first time anyone's done it. I thought they were lying when they told me. I said: 'Is this a joke?'



'They've been practising with a carpet because it's so dangerous, and it's been collapsing on the ice. I'm like: 'That's me, what you doing?'

And Jorgie was so nervous at first she convinced mentor Jayne Torvill to carry out the move and demonstrate it first of all.

She added to The Sun: 'I was scared so I made Jayne do it first as well. She was really up for it. And she wanted to do the other parts too but the physio wouldn't let her.

'I've never said no, I've always been quite fearless throughout the show.



'I still can't believe I'm the last girl standing. I think in days or weeks to come I'll be like, 'Oh my God, I did this'.

'At the minute I am just taking it in. I can feel myself crying my eyes out no matter what happens.'

Jorgie is set to go head-to-head with Emmerdale actor Matthew Wolfenden and former X Factor star Chico on Sunday night, when the winner will be crowned.

And in pictures that have been revealed ahead of the show, Jorgie can be seen practising the scary routine.



In one image she is seen successfully being thrown into the air - but with eight chaperones ensuring her safe landing.

All of the stars will also have to carry out Torvill and Dean's infamous Bolero routine during the live showdown.

And Jorgie and Matt were also spotted practising the famous moves as they took to the ice earlier this week.

She wrote on Twitter earlier today: 'The last day before the final I can't wait !!!!! And everyone will be back on the ice exciting x. X.'
