THE Only Way is Essex star Harry Derbidge has revealed that he was barred from landing a spot on the Dancing on Ice line-up after show bosses were left 'concerned about his body'.<\/p>\n
Harry rose to fame for his role on the ITVBe reality series alongside his cousin Amy Childs back in the first series in 2010.<\/p>\n

Despite being a fan favourite on the programme, he has admitted that a planned attempt to land a spot on Dancing on Ice a few years ago was halted by show chiefs.<\/p>\n
Harry, 29, revealed that his weight had become a 'cause for concern' at his audition for the show.<\/p>\n
The star admitted: "I did [an audition for] Dancing on Ice years ago.<\/p>\n
"I went for a meeting but at the time they were concerned because I was underweight."<\/p>\n
