Dancing On Ice has seen another contestant fall foul of injury with just weeks to go to the show launch. Love Island winner Amber Davies has been attending rehab after hurting herself while skating.
The 27-year-old star took to social media to reveal that she had suffered a muscle injury while training.
Taking to her Instagram stories she posted a picture of her in costume for her role as Vivian Ward in the touring production of Pretty Woman and told her 1.3 million followers that she had torn her quad muscle at the beginning of the week.
“Tore my Quad on Monday (grade one luckily). And the show must go on as they say… Big thank you to @olliesavile for holding me up half the week when I needed it the most.”
However, at present, she is determined to soldier through with her training despite the pain. She posted a second image on her social media again showing her getting a leg massage and commented: “Back on the ice tomorrow for some softer training with my main man @simsenecal. Ey what doesn’t kill ya makes you stronger.”

ITV confirmed that he wouldn’t be able to continue with the show in a statement.
“Stephen Lustig-Webb has had to withdraw from the show due to an injury he sustained to his ankle during training,” it began.
“He is still very much a part of the Dancing On Ice family, we will be helping to support Stephen and we wish him well with his recovery.”
Shortly afterwards the show announced Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards, would replace Stephen in the competition.
