Matt Richardson wishes Caroline Flack was here to see him on 'Dancing on Ice'.

The television presenter lost his friend and 'Xtra Factor' colleague last February and admits it is bittersweet appearing on the show, knowing Caroline isn't around to tell.
He said: "Obviously we worked together lots, but she was a really good mate of mine. Like she was one of my best friends in the world. And it’s weird, actually when I got the call to go onto the show this week, she would have been one of the first people that I'd have rung ... So I had a real pang of sadness that this wasn't something I could talk to Caroline about and would have had, you know, a really good laugh about. Like what I'd look like in the costumes and all that kind of fun, silly stuff.
"And she would have been amazingly supportive. She was amazing. You know, through tough relationships, she used to come and support me in my life. She was phenomenal. She was more than just someone that helped me in my career. She helped me in everything."
And Matt admits he is most nervous about the costumes.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he shared: "I can’t lie. Out of all the elements of it, the costumes is the thing that I'm finding the most difficult to come to terms with.
"They gave me a jacket the other day to wear and I was like, ‘Oh, this is fairly normal ... oh, it's covered in rhinestones ...’ So it’s not my normal attire. But who wants to be the one person dressed like they're cool and fashionable? Nobody, because then you look like the idiot. So when they’re spangling me up, I'm going to be like, more lycra, more rhinestones, make me look as glam as possible."
