Ricky Norwood reportedly stormed Dancing On Ice training and threatened to quit the show this week.
The former EastEnders actor, 40, was said to have had a heated argument with his professional skating partner Annette Dytrt on Thursday, which caused him to leave training after just 15 minutes.
A source told The Sun: “Ricky tried to work on his attitude but Annette was frustrated because he didn’t get it.
“He felt that Annette was treating him like a child and was clearly frustrated by her lack of patience.”
“Ricky stormed off the ice and angrily threw away his skates while shouting “I’m done” and “Fuck it.”

“Annette is a perfectionist and wants to shine in the series as it is her first series.”
Web has contacted ITV for comment.
Ricky was axed from the role of Arthur “Fatboy” Chubb in EastEnders in 2015 after five years on the soap.
He was suspended for two months in 2015 when photos emerged of the star “smoking marijuana” on Skype and he was also reportedly performing a sex act naked during the video call.
A spokesman for the BBC show said at the time: “We can confirm that Ricky is leaving. “We wish him all the best.”
When the incriminating images of him first came to light, BBC bosses decided to ban Ricky from filming for two months while the London-born actor apologized for his actions.
Ricky won Best Newcomer at the 2010 Inside Soap Awards for this role and was named Most Popular Newcomer at the 2011 National Television Awards.
The actor made a cameo appearance last year as Fatboy in a flashback surrounding the return of Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins).

Hannah Spearritt was the second star to be eliminated after Movie Week last Sunday.
The former S Club 7 singer, 42, was sent home after her Frozen performance with professional partner Andy Buchanan, where she transformed into Elsa and scored just 20 out of 40.
Meanwhile, Love Island's Amber Davies was visually fantastic after her Barbie routine with partner Simon Senecal earned her the highest score of the series so far – with 31 points.
Hannah and Andy were in the final two places along with Claire Sweeney and Colin Grafton, but there was no skate-off this week as the judges' scores and public vote were combined and the star with the lowest score was immediately evicted.
Holly Willoughby hosted for the third year in a row alongside co-host Stephen Mulhern, while judges Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean, Oti Mabuse and Ashley Banjo returned.

Hannah said after her elimination: “I enjoyed it, Andy was a joy and thanks for the trip!”
This comes after Ricky Hatton and his partner Robin Johnstone were the first stars to be eliminated on last Sunday's show.
During the show, Holly, 42, was forced to apologize for her “swearing” after it emerged she said the F-word after Stephen scared her.
After scaring her in a funny moment, the word seemed to slip out of her mouth, and later in the show she apologized for it “if it sounded like she said it,” before adding that she “didn't “I thought she said it.”
She joked that she would watch the episode again on ITVX to see if she had actually missed it.
Dancing On Ice continues on Sunday February 4 at 6.20pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
