DANCING On Ice star Caprice Bourret is “stroppy, self-absorbed and NOT a team player” claims the TV producer behind the show that made her famous after her shock split with her pro partner Hamish.
The 48-year-old model shot to fame in the 9os as one of the London party girls followed by Channel 4 documentary Daddy’s Girls – the predecessor of Made In Chelsea.
The show followed Caprice and her socialite pals including Tamara Beckwith as they quaffed champagne, shopped for designer outfits and watched the polo.
And now the show’s producer Nicholas Jones has exclusively told The Sun Online that even at the tender age of 24, Caprice was difficult to work with and only interested in looking after herself.
“She was a very driven person but completely self obsessed, not very nice and a compulsive liar,” he exclusively told The Sun Online.
This week we revealed Caprice dumped her pro Dancing On Ice partner Hamish because he was “pushing her too hard”.
And Nicholas reveals that when he worked with her she was “not a team player” and “turned up when she felt like it”.
“She was stroppy and self-absorbed,” he said.
“She’s told one fib after another.”
Nicholas discovered the American model in 1996 to inject some foreign flair into his show about London It girls.
She said she was a rich 23-year-old model whose father was in real estate and owned car dealerships across America.
But the production staff soon found out this was false after the show aired.
“Dishonesty is baked into her,” Nicholas continued. “She doesn’t come from money.”
Instead she was raised by her penniless mum Valerie who was later arrested on charges of credit-card theft.
And the dishonesty didn’t end there.
“In the film she gave her age as 23 but we later found out she was nearly 25 when her birth certificate was dug out,” he added.
“She was hiding the real Caprice.”
A representative for Caprice has been contacted for comment.
