Dancing on Ice star Brian McFadden may have to pull out of this Sunday’s show after battling with a back injury.
The former Westlife singer, who is paired with professional Alex Murphy, previously dislocated his shoulder during rehearsals.
McFadden’s injury has reportedly worsened, raising concerns he may be forced to pull out of his performance this weekend.
A spokesperson for the show told the Standard: "Brian has a bad back and is currently being monitored by our show physio.”
McFadden’s fellow contestant James Jordan was also faced with speculation that he may have to pull out of this weekend’s show after suffering with a hip injury.
The Strictly Come Dancing professional told how he was trying to nail a jump when he fell on the ice and suffered more pain due to arthritis in his hip.
Previously writing in his Best column, Jordan said: “I fell practising a jump the other day and landed on my hip. Given I have arthritis there, it wasn't ideal. It hurt - a lot.
“I'm getting daily physio and trying to man up. The last time I was in this much pain was when Brendan Cole and I were messing around backstage at Strictly, and he accidentally pushed me down a set of stairs.”
Despite his concerns, Jordan revealed to fans on Thursday that he’s back on the ice training for his performance but admitted his hip is “killing” him because he “keeps falling over” when practicing jumps as part of this weekend’s routine.
The pair aren't the only contestants powering through injuries after Jane Danson fainted during rehearsals last week and Gemma Collins was left with a large bruise on her knee after a fall on-air.
Collins later revealed she and professional partner Matt Evers had been sent on a pamper day to Champneys to recuperate.
Dancing on Ice is on ITV, Sunday at 6pm
