Coronation Street's 'earth angel' Sally Dynevor supported by co-stars as she makes ITV Dancing On Ice debut

Sally Dynevor has been flooded with support from her Coronation Street co-stars as she swapped the cobbles for the ice.

The Sally Metcalfe actress performed for the first time on Dancing On Ice as the skating competition returned on Sunday night.

Sally was among the first six stars to make their debut with the other six celebrities set to take to the ice this Sunday (January 23).

Partnered with Matt Evers, the 58-year-old actress put on an emotional routine to She's Always A Woman by Billy Joel.

Sally and Matt scored 23 from the panel of judges and were voted through to the next week in the competition.

The Corrie star said she has "been in fight or flight mode for the last two days," before getting her scores and comments.

Christopher Dean explained he had his finger over the 6 button before her stumble on the ice pushed her overall score down.

While Jayne added: "Your technique is really, really good, exactly on point."

Sally was supported in the Dancing On Ice audience by husband Tim and daughter Hattie as well as soap co-star Antony Cotton.

The Sean Tully actor had an emotional reaction to Sally's performance.

Speaking to Holly Willoughby during the live show, he said: "Coronation Street is a huge extended family and I’ve known Sally for 18 years and I’m not gonna lie she skated on and I burst out crying.

"It was really, really emotional and Sally is the most loved member of our cast, we all adore Sally and it made me really, really emotional. I’m thrilled that she’s with Max, I know she’s in safe hands."

And several other members of the Corrie cast were sharing their support.

On Saturday, Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone Dobbs, shared a photo of Sally in her Dancing On Ice outfit on his Instagram and said: "I cannot wait to see this earth angel on the ice tomorrow."
