Connie Fisher has described her life as “madness” since leaving The Sound of Music.

Talking on the breakfast TV show, the winner of How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? revealed she’s taking no time off before her next project after a “tiring and exhilarating” run as Maria von Trapp.

“My whole year has been planned out for me,” said Connie. “I’m recording my second album at the moment so I’m in and out of the studio. I’m about to film with ITV as well, so I’ve got lots of lines to learn and lots of other mountains to climb!”

Reacting to rumours that her upcoming tour faces the axe after poor tickets sales, Connie said: “It’s been postponed.”

Dancing on Ice judge, Nicky Slater, told GMTV this morning that he could be fired for giving Suzanne Shaw a controversially low score on Sunday’s show.

Nicky defended his frosty comments saying, “It’s ‘Dancing On Ice’, it’s not ‘Lifting On Ice.’”

However, the ice-skating star revealed he could be in hot water after his remarks caused a row among the judges last week.

“There is a bit of an issue here. The skaters are given the choreography of what to do. So in a way, Suzanne is getting caught between me asking for something which is a balanced routine, and what she’s been given. So I might get sacked actually, because I’m actually questioning the balance of the routine. So in a way, I should just talk about what is performed.”
