Second time's a charm: Gary Lucy heads into rehearsals for Dancing On Ice looking hunkier than ever

Gary Lucy has been showing off his slick moves on the ice in London as he begins rehearsals for TV show Dancing On Ice.
The hunky former Hollyoaks actor wore a tight fitting t-shirt for his spin on the rink with his professional ice skating partner.
The star appeared in the show in 2012 but narrowly missed being crowned king of the ice, ending up in second place.

The show’s next season will be its last, and bosses have decided to bring back the best (and worse) skaters from previous years to compete against one and other.
Gary will be competing against the likes of Beth Tweddle who won series eight and former X Factor contestant Ray Quinn who won in 2009.
The star, who is currently in EastEnders, looked like he was taking his practising very seriously as he performed several tricky-looking moves.

Second time lucky: Gary came second when he competed in 2012 - but it looks like he's gunning for the winning titles this time around

Wearing a tight purple t-shirt and baggy black jogging bottoms, Gary looked confident and calm as he swung his partner around on the ice.
The actor threw his blonde partner onto his shoulder and around his waist as they were skating.
He was then seen performing a plank-like move where he balanced himself on his petite female partner’s thighs as she was crouched down and skating on the ice.

Ab-tastic: The star looked like he was giving his core a good work out as he did sit-ups on the female's lap

The pair looked like they worked well together, even sharing a joke and laughing together as they took a break from the fiddly moves.
And it looks like Gary’s trimmed down in the last two years as the actor’s looking svelte and leen in preparation for the competition.
Taking to his Twitter account the star has said he ‘can’t wait’ to get onto the ice again and see his former mentors Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean.
