Where is Billie Shepherd on Dancing On Ice?

Billie Shepherd is absent from Dancing On Ice this weekend.

Viewers of the ITV skating competition will notice that the reality TV star is missing from Musicals Week.

Billie, 31, made her DOI debut last weekend with professional partner Mark Hanretty.

But she has taken a break this weekend following the death of her Nanny Wendy.

A spokesperson for Dancing On Ice said at the end of the week: "Sadly due to a family bereavement this week Billie Shepherd is taking a break from the ice and won't be on Sunday's show.

"We look forward to her returning next week and send her all of our love at this sad time."

The former TOWIE star's grandmother Nanny Wendy died after she was diagnosed with pneumonia, aged 77.

Billie and sister Sam Faiers have also reportedly paused filming on their ITVBe show, The Mummy Diaries.

Nanny Wendy was the mum to the siblings' biological father Lee Faiers.
