The 'Great British Bake Off' winner has admitted that she is worried about her upcoming appearance on the relaunched show as she believes she is not very elegant or graceful.

Speaking ahead of the show's launch, she said: "You know how in Disney films when you see a hippo and they put a tutu on, and you've got all the swans and they are all graceful, and then the hippo goes 'boom, boom, boom'.

"When I put the leotard on I was like 'Oh right, okay, there she is, hippo in a tutu'.

"It's the elegance and things like that, it's so different from anything I have ever done, the performance thing, the thinking about face, arms body and then the actual skating part."

Candice, 33, has been partnered with skater Matt Evers on the show and insisted her fiance Liam Macaulay, 31, isn't worried about their racy routines.

She said: "(Liam) tells me every day he is proud of me and he's so supportive. 'He's met my partner Matt Evers and he's great."

And, Candice admitted that she and Matt have had some embarrassing moments during rehearsals.

She said: 'We had been warned at the beginning. The pros say, there are lifts where you are lifted up by certain parts of your body. Yesterday I came out of a lift and he didn't just grab my leg. It really made me laugh. I thought, 'Get to the end of the routine'. I looked at Matt and said, 'Did you?' And he said, 'Yes, and I'm really sorry'."
