ITV Dancing On Ice finalist Miles Nazaire has revealed that he ran into trouble with execs behind the scenes over his costume. Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk and other media in advance of Sunday's (March 10) glitzy final, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern, the former Made in Chelsea star, who is partnered with Vanessa Bauer in the show, admitted that his refusal to wear a wig caused serious problems.
"I hate them. Oh my god. I had a big fuss...All the execs came in the room and they were like you have to wear the wig.
"I know I shouldn't be saying this," he exclaimed before continuing. "I had to wear a wig once (on the show) and it cut all my circulation in my head.
"Right when we did the Sunday run - we do a run before the actual show. It was like I wasn't there because it was so painful.
"It's horrible. So I put my foot down and sassy pants came out and I said won't be doing it with a wig. So they gave me a hair extensions instead," he laughed.
Painful wigs aside, Miles admits he has thoroughly enjoyed his Dancing On Ice experience, although it is one of the hardest things he has ever done.
He is one of the final four standing and will compete against Adele Roberts, Greg Rutherford and Ryan Thomas to be crowned this year's champion.
Two of the couples have the added pressure of having to perform their version of the Bolero for Olympic gold winning legends Torvill and Dean.
"No one can prepare you for this," he admitted. Even Vanessa in the beginning said to me, 'by the way, just let you know, you know it's gonna get really intense.'
"I should have upped my fee," he joked. "This one of the hardest things I've ever done.

"One of the most beautiful things I've ever done, in terms of just being so disciplined into one thing and focusing your whole life into one thing for the last four months really.
"And it's been a magical crazy exhausting journey," he concedes. "But I think I can speak for all of us, you know, I'd do it again. If I had to!
"It's been incredible. And whoever does it next year, I will pre warn them just don't do it," he laughed.
The Dancing On Ice final is on ITV and ITVX on Sunday night at 6.25pm.
