Dancing On Ice has been hit with another injury after pro-dancer Alexandra Schauman, who is the dance partner of EastEnders star Joe Swash, fell at rehearsal.
In a statement, the show said, "Unfortunately, due to injury, @alex--lukasz won't be able to perform this weekend. @realjoeswashy will still be skating - @almurph18 will be stepping as his partner! Join us in wishing Alexandra a speedy recovery."
This year's series of Dancing on Ice has been cursed with injuries. Michael Barrymore was forced to leave and pro-skater Vanessa Bauer was left concussed after a bad fall.
