TONYA HARDING - HARDING SHAMED BY REALITY BOXING BOUT

Figure skater-turned-reality TV star TONYA HARDING is ashamed of her performance on US TV show CELEBRITY BOXING - because she let down the sport she now loves.

The 35-year-old, who was implicated in the 1994 conspiracy to cripple skating rival NANCY KERRIGAN and banned from the sport, duked it out with BILL CLINTON's alleged ex-mistress PAULA JONES on the reality fight night.

And though she had a blast in the ring back in 2002, and has since turned to professional boxing, Harding admits she hates seeing footage of her televised punch-up.

She says, "When I fought Paula Jones, that was the most fun thing I ever did. Except now, being a professional and watching it on TV, I am so embarrassed."
