Murder on the dance floor?

If you thought fights, tears and tantrums were the things of Soapworld - you'd be wrong.

Actresses Roxanne Pallett and Gemma Bissix have brought a sprinkling of drama to Dancing on Ice (as if any more was needed?!).

The ice rivals have come to blows on the rink. But don't worry, it's only a bit of fun. Or so they say... Take a look at the pictures.

Here are Roxanne and Gemma at one another's throats - quite literally. However, the feisty pair are just playing up to reports that they're soap babes at war.

Oh look, the gloves are off but the skates are definitely still on. “My biggest competition is definitely Roxy,” said Gemma before the fracas. But Roxy hit back. “I’m not always the strongest or the best but I’m a fighter," she cried. "Watch out Bissix – the claws will be out!”

So, is this all out sabotage or are Roxanne and Gemma about to be the biggest skating rivals since Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan? You'll just have to tune in and find out!
