Kimberly Wyatt found the atmosphere on 'Dancing On Ice' "horrible" because "women revel in a woman failing".
Kimberly Wyatt was third on Dancing On Ice
The Pussycat Dolls singer came third on the show in 2022 and she and her husband Max Rogers have called for females to support one another because the competitive nature of the competition was unpleasant.
Kimberly said on the 'Man Baggage' podcast: “Women hate women. And there are instances where the women do not want to root for other women doing well.
“There are often times where women revel in a woman failing, which is horrible.
“There’s a competitive nature that’s born in women.
“We are born to compete to get a man, so I feel there’s this competitive nature between women that needs to be resolved.”
Max added: "You found that recently.
“The Dancing On Ice experience showed us how much work needs to be done with women supporting women.”
The 41-year-old beauty is learning to "speak up" to try and resolve conflict but she finds it hard to address how she is feeling about particular situations.
She said: “I have started finding ways to deal with the conflict, and part of it is you have to speak up about who you are. You can’t help who you are, we are all homo sapiens, built in many different ways for many different reasons. But you do have to have a space that is safe enough that you can be honest about it.
“So even in our marriage, we have spent a lot of time getting to a place over the years where I will just speak. That doesn’t make the conflict resolution any easier.
“But it means it is out in the open and we have to deal with it together, rather than me going to the studio and dancing it off then exploding a week later.
“I wish I could be more fiery and know exactly how I am feeling, and have a big blowout and be over it.
“But unfortunately I am not made up like that. I am a touchy-feely, emotional being who takes time to go through the layers of whatever.
“I’m a very internal person. I started dancing when I was seven because I had lots of traumas and I didn’t know how to enjoy the reflection, looking back.“
