Actor Gary Lucy and his professional skating partner Maria Filippov have been forced to skip a day's training for 'Dancing on Ice' due to illness.
According to The Sun, the pair picked up a 24-hour vomiting bug this week and were too unwell to practice their routine.
A source said: "Just skipping one day of practising their new routine could really damage Gary and Maria's chances on Sunday. The competition is hotting up and everything is at stake."
"Gary said he felt like he was in quarantine from the rest of the gang when the illness was in full force."
"Producers have tried to keep him and Maria away from the others."
"This could really ruin the weekend's show. [Producers] are doing everything they can to keep the celebs up to full strength."
"But they know it will be disastrous if any of the stars are too sick to perform."
