Dancing On Ice star Denise Van Outen has been raced to A&E after suffering a nasty injury in training.
The 46-year-old has dislocated her shoulder after falling face first during rehearsals.
Denise, who is set to make her debut tomorrow with partner Matt Evers, has admitted that it is "touch and go" as to whether she will be able to compete tomorrow.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Denise said: "I’ve taken a few tumbles since we started training but with this one I knew immediately it wasn’t good.
“I was rehearsing with Matt, hit my toe pick and went flying.
“Straightaway I knew I’d done something. I just thought, ‘Please don’t let it be a break.’
“The on-site medics and physio checked me over immediately and my shoulder was quickly iced.”
After receiving an emergency X-ray, Denise realised she had damaged her tendons and dislocated her left shoulder.
It's now a race against time as to whether she will be able to skate for the launch tomorrow.
However, if Denise and Matt can skate tomorrow, they have been told by bosses that they can adapt their routine to suit her injured shoulder.
She added that the accident has affected her ability to move her left arm and that she is working on recovering and "praying [she] can do [her] routine".
Denise said that they are "taking it by hour".
The star added: "I’m having ongoing physio and I’m determined that nothing is going to keep me from getting on the ice.
"I’ve got everything crossed that I can heal enough.”
*Dancing On Ice returns tomorrow at 6pm on ITV
