Inside Dancing On Ice star Ricky Hatton's romances including a relationship with Playboy model after splitting from his fiancée - as boxer's life spiralled out of control following devastating loss to Floyd Mayweather
Ricky Hatton is embarking on a new challenge on ITV's Dancing On Ice after a hugely successful boxing career.
He is joined on series 16 of the show by 11 other celebs - including Adele Roberts and Greg Rutherford - as well as hosts Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern.
Hatton went 43 bouts undefeated before finally losing to world title holder Floyd Mayweather in 2007, who was also undefeated at the time.
At the time, the British boxer was with to-be fiancée Jennifer Dooley, but afterwards his life both in and out of the ring collapsed - losing two fights from four, and growing distant from his parents and trainer.
He ended up splitting from his fiancée before having a string of flings, before revitalises himself as a promoter of mental health and other charitable causes.

In his early 20s, Ricky had a brief relationship with a woman known only as Claire, who went on to have his boxer son, Campbell Hatton - born on January 9, 2001.
Ricky - born in Stockport, Greater Manchester, in 1978 - had his longest relationship with Jennifer Dooley, from 2005 to 2016.
Jennifer was there for some of the highest points of his career, seeing him win or retain multiple world titles as well as being there for the presentation of his MBE in 2007's New Year Honours.
Hatton proposed to her on Valentine's Day of 2009.
He fatefully named the couple's Cheshire house the 'Heartbreak Hotel' after Elvis Presley's hit track.
In 2010, a video of Ricky taking cocaine was leaked, leading him to begin rehab as Jennifer stood by him.
However, another month later, Irish boxing champion Emma Bowe told the Mirror of how she had been having an 11-month affair with the boxer after getting his autograph in Dublin.
A rocky period between Jennifer and Hatton after the fighter's retirement in 2012 included him moving in and out of their £3 million home a number of times.
A December 2013 holiday bust-up led to Ricky moving out and after moving back in again months later, in June 2014, he moved out for a second time after going AWOL during a boozy trip to Lanzarote.
But their turbulent year was put behind them in the New Year when they went on holiday to Tenerife with their two daughters, Millie, 11, and Fearne, 10.
In 2016, however, another string of drink-fuelled nights out for Ricky put a final end to his and Jennifer's 11-year relationship, after he was pictured looking worse for wear partying with other girls in his arms.

He said of Jennifer: 'It's very upsetting when you've been in such a long-term relationship and it comes to an end.
'I can't deny there are times I have found things difficult.'
The year after that split, Ricky enjoyed a night out with Playboy model Carla Howe - but rumours of a romance were never confirmed.
Also in 2017, Hatton started a relationship with long-term 'bezzie' Marie Pollard, with the then-39-year-old posting a slew of snaps with his new partner over the course of the year.
On one of their most entertaining early dates, Ricky was hoping to take Marie to the Church Inn, but instead of an ale house the pair ended up at a house of God.
Despite meeting Ricky's family, and spending time with him watching another thing close to his heart - Manchester City FC - the couple had separated by July 2018.
That month, Ricky shares a gallery of pictures with his new girlfriend, Charlie Nordell, on a trip to Las Vegas.
The couple stayed at the prestigious Caesar's Palace hotel and posed for a number of smitten snaps to celebrate their romantic break.
The sportsman commented: 'Nice to go to Vegas for a night and not get knocked the f*** out.'
He affectionately called Charlie the 'fun police' as she was one of those who had attempted to keep Ricky on the straight and narrow since his 2012 retirement.
However, the pair split after two years as a source told The Sun they 'wanted different things' with Charlie planning a move to Dubai for 2020.
Hatton managed to rekindle his romance with Marie in 2021, but only for less than 12 months with the boxer going public with new girlfriend Angela Blemmings in July 2022.

Ricky's relationship with Playboy model Chelsea Claire ended up as 'more of a fling' in the second half of 2023
He took the beauty therapist - owner of EyeCandy beauty salon in Stalybridge - on a romantic getaway to Dublin.
Ricky was also preparing for a delayed comeback fight against Marco Antonio Barrera that Autumn, showing off a slimmed figure despite indulging in a few pints of Guinness on the trip.
Angela shared the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year red carpet with Ricky in December, but the following year was less celebratory for the couple as they went their seperate ways.
Ricky ended up with another Playboy model - Chelsea Claire - in August 2023, but this 'ended up being more of a fling' according to a Sun insider.
Their split was revealed in January 2024, shortly before Ricky was due to make his Dancing on Ice debut.
