Dancing On Ice suffered a major blow when ANOTHER star suffered a horror injury during the countdown to the show’s launch

Dancing On Ice has suffered another blow after a star from the upcoming series suffered an injury ahead of the show’s launch in January.

Love Island star Amber Davies, 27, revealed on Instagram on Thursday that she tore her quad muscle during her turn on stage as Vivian Ward, originally played by Julia Roberts in the 1990 film, in the UK touring production of Pretty Woman.

In a duo of posts, she revealed that she had suffered a grade one tear during Monday’s show at Glasgow’s Theater Royal, which is ‘a muscle pull or strain causing pain and tenderness but not loss of muscle strength’.

She then shared a photo of her leg being worked on by her skating pro Simon Proulx Sénécal with the caption: ‘Back on the ice tomorrow for some gentler training with my main man @simsenecal. Ey, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’

In an accompanying caption for the next shot, she wrote: ‘Tore my Quad on Monday (thankfully group one). And the show must go on as they say… Thank you to @olliesavile for taking care of me for half the week when I needed it most.’

Amber won Love Island in 2017 together with her then boyfriend Kem Cetinay, who also participated in Dancing On Ice in 2018.

The line-up also includes Hannah Spearritt, Greg Rutherford, Ryan Thomas, Roxy Shahidi, Eddie The Eagle, Adele Roberts, Ricky Hatton, Ricky Norwood, Claire Sweeney, Miles Nazaire and Lou Sanders.

News of Amber’s injury comes after Gogglebox star Stephen Lustig-Webb was forced to leave the show after breaking his ankle in a horror fall.

Stephen, 52, left the Channel 4 show after ten years with ambitions to pursue further TV opportunities, and was soon signed up for the ITV dance series.

But after a freak accident during training last month, he was rushed to Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, where doctors told him he had broken his left ankle and would be on crutches for at least the next three months.

The TV personality underwent surgery to have metal plates placed in his ankle for extra support, but there is no hope of him getting back on the ice.

Sources close to Stephen say he has ‘thoroughly enjoyed the new challenge’ and got to know judges Torvill and Dean, as well as the other contestants, and is ‘gutted’ to lose his place in the competition before the show has even started.

They said: ‘Stephen is devastated… he is absolutely devastated. He loved training, but when he put his skates on, he broke his ankle and was rushed to the hospital.

‘After two days and surgery to place metal plates in his left ankle, doctors told him there was no chance he could return to training, so he had no choice but to withdraw from competition.’

A spokesperson for Dancing On Ice said: ‘Stephen Lustig-Webb has had to withdraw from the show due to an injury he sustained to his ankle during training.

‘He is still very much part of the Dancing On Ice family, we will help support Stephen and we wish him the best of luck in his recovery.’

It’s the latest blow for Dancing On Ice as bosses are still working out who will host the series when it returns to ITV in January.

Holly Willoughby, 42, is yet to decide whether she will remain at the helm after announcing she is taking an extended break from television.

The TV star suddenly quit after 14 years last week when an alleged plot to kidnap and kill her came to light.
