CAPRICE Bourret has furiously denied causing her split from her Dancing On Ice partner Hamish Gaman, despite being accused of being a bigger diva backstage than Naomi Campbell.
In a shocking new twist, supermodel Caprice has told pals she feels like the victim of a “bullying” campaign on the ITV series.
A telly insider said: “Caprice felt she was being pushed far too hard by Hamish in training and said she felt bullied.
“She struggled to understand Hamish’s complicated instructions and said she felt he was berating her when she couldn’t pick up the moves as easily as some of the other celebs.
“Caprice also moaned Hamish would stop training if she made three mistakes, which put her on edge.
“To hear she’s being mocked as a diva because she refused to work with him any longer has been really upsetting for Caprice and she’s not happy.
“At one point, another coach was brought in to watch over their sessions because Caprice was having such a hard time.”
The split was announced on Sunday’s show and Caprice has now been paired with show newcomer Oscar Peters.
A second insider said: “She’s thrown herself into training after the debacle with Hamish.”
And I thought the sparks would stop flying after acid-tongued judge Jason Gardiner left.
An ITV spokeswoman said: “We have seen no evidence of the alleged bullying on Dancing On Ice and strongly refute any suggestion to the contrary.
“We’re very proud of the team, both on and off screen.
“They produce a fantastic show and we are committed to ensuring that everyone who works on the programme is fully supported.”

SOPHIE Turner has brushed off the idea of doing a Game Of Thrones spin-off, saying: “I don’t want to be a part of it.”
She then joked: “Unless they give me the big bucks, I’m not doing it!”
I don’t blame her, to be honest.
End is high for Harriet
SHE’S a dame who turns 70 this year, but ex-Downton Abbey star Harriet Walter will be seen bonking, boozing and taking drugs in Sky Atlantic show The End.
The drama, which starts on February 10, sees her playing a woman called Edie who is toying with suicide until she discovers life is full of new “ups” as well as downs.
The actress – who starred as Lady Shackleton in Downton – said it is important to depict older people living out their days to the full.
She added: “The notion that that somehow dies in you when you get to a certain age is just b******s.
“I don’t like the thought of my grandmother having sex, but she must have done it.”
I agree – I don’t want to think about her granny having sex either.
