The new series of Dancing on Ice is now just a few days away and one of the skating stars taking to the rink is Ben Hanlin.
A whole host of famous faces are hoping to follow in the footsteps of last year's winner James Jordan with this year's featuring everyone from Love Island's Maura Higgins to H from Steps. And joining them on the show is Ben, who on Friday revealed he'd suffered a big injury in training.
Speaking on his Instagram story, Ben said "We have a problem. A couple of days ago I went on the ice just before I came back, I wanted to work off the Christmas turkey.
“I’ve had a big injury, I’ve fallen over, I’ve smashed my ribs and they’re all strapped up, and under that strapping I’ve got more strapping.
I’ve just been out skating, and I couldn’t do some of the lifts. I couldn’t lift Carlotta because my ribs are doing me in.
“I’ve got until Sunday to just get through it, and just do it anyway. So not a great start to the first show.”
Ben will skate to Evanescence's massive 00's number 1 Bring Me To Life on Sinday's show...if he's fully healed!
