'Loose Women' presenter Coleen Nolan has said she will perform on next Sunday's 'Dancing On Ice' semi-finals despite doctors giving her a only a 50% chance of skating again.

The Daily Mirror reports that Nolan was involved in a training accident yesterday which left her in agony. Nolan ripped a back muscle and dislocated a rib and a disc while practising a mid-air spin on a wire with partner Stuart Widdall.

She said the pain following the accident was "worse than childbirth".

She skated last Sunday with a fractured wrist. The 44-year-old said: "I will do what I can to make sure I perform. I'm desperate to skate again. I feel I owe it to people who have voted for me to keep going.

"I've fought to be there and I will carry on fighting so long as it is physically possible."
