'Thank you for giving me 110% everyday for the past 2 months': Brooke Vincent took to Instagram on Thursday to share a heartfelt tribute to her figure skater dance partner Matej Silecky

Gushing about her dance partner's patience, she began the post with: 'Thank you for being patient with me. I promise I’ll try and listen fully before I go off and try and do what you’re asking of me wrongly, because I didn’t listen (sic).

Revealing an impatient streak, she continued: 'Sorry for being a snapper at times . Sorry for making you go over the same thing 20 times because I need it to be perfect.

'I will try and bend my knees more.. thank you for laughing at my jokes.. thank you for getting up at 5am most mornings with me to train thank you for moving 3375miles away from your family&friends to be my coach. But most of all thank you for giving me 110% everyday for the past 2 months..

'Now.... have fun back home, rest up.. fly back and let’s go get it!!!' she concluded.

Say cheese: The inevitable rigours that come with perfecting the tricky moves demanded by Dancing On Ice appeared to have taken their toll on Brooke, who revealed a sizeable bruise while attending an official photo-call with skater Matej Silecky on Tuesday afternoon

Filming commitments are currently being juggled with a challenging new role on the forthcoming series of rejuvenated celebrity talent show Dancing On Ice.

And the inevitable difficulties that come with perfecting the tricky moves demanded by mentors Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean appeared to have taken their toll on a notably slimmer Brooke, who revealed a sizeable bruise while attending an official photo-call on Tuesday afternoon.

Clearly confident with her newly-slim figure, Brooke happily slipped into the tiny fringed leotard and fishnet tights as she sped around the rink with partner Matej - before the pair pulled a number of funny faces for cameras.

Describing the benefits of her active lifestyle, the Coronation Street star told OK! last month: 'I dropped my phone the other day and it flew between my legs. I’ve never had that problem before but now I have a gap... my arms and top half have more definition.'

She continued: 'I’m not saying I have the best body or I’m the slimmest, but I’m really quite happy at the minute. I’m more confident, I’ve got more energy, my skin is dewier and I’m more awake in the mornings.’

She told The Sun: '[My life has changed] Massively. I've not drunk. We've had a bit of a strict routine. We're trying. I'm happy - I've got a good teacher.'

The soap star was the first celebrity confirmed for the forthcoming tenth series of Dancing On Ice in late October.

Appearing on This Morning in late October, she said: 'I love a challenge and ice skating, what an amazing skill. I'm more impressed with the fact I can go with the girls and be like, "I can do this, I can do that", and they'll be holding onto the sides.'

She admitted she has dreamed of appearing on the show - which will return next year after four years off screen - for a long time.
