This year’s Dancing on Ice is facing a mounting line up crisis with nine stars exiting in just over a month.
While there have only been four eliminations so far, a further five have been forced to quit - three from injury and two due to positive Covid tests.
The public vote and judges Skate Off verdicts have now sent Myleene Klass, Graham Bell, Matt Richardson and most recently, Amy Tinkler, packing from the rink before the show was 'paused' for a week, ready to return on Sunday, February 28.
Denise Van Outen and Billie Faiers both quit Dancing on Ice due to injury, Billie, a week on from missing a live show due to a family bereavement and then this week Jason Donovan joined the casualty list after initially 'resting' a back injury but then leaving altogether.
And, after Rufus Hound had to eventually quit after coming into with coronavirus and then testing posting for Covid-19, bookies favourite and front runner Joe-Warren Plant also left alongside pro Vanessa Bauer after he contracted the virus, with the pair being denied a return to the show.
All of this comes after pro Yebin Mok didn’t even make the live shows. She was meant to be performing alongside Olympic skier Graham but was rushed to hospital after suffering a horror injury in training when she accidentally stabbed her in the leg with his skating blade.
Another pro - Hamish Gaman - then bowed out last week after being injured while taking a sock off in training.
As confirmed by host Phillip Schofield earlier this month, only two reserves are available each series with Amy Tinkler coming in for Denise and Matt replacing Rufus, before being voted out after just one performance.
And on Friday it was announced that this year's Dancing on Ice final will be earlier, with it being moved forward to Sunday, March 14.
