Dancing On Ice pro skater Colin Grafton has revealed a nasty injury sustained during rehearsals for the upcoming show. The incident comes after his skating partner, Mollie Pearce, previously fractured her wrist during training. Despite the setbacks, Colin and Mollie remain optimistic about their performance.
Dancing On Ice 's Colin Grafton has shared an image of a nasty injury he sustained during rehearsals for the upcoming Sunday night spectacle. The professional skater, who is set to perform alongside Traitors sensation Mollie Pearce , revealed the mishap before the live show. Mollie herself wasn't immune to the perils of the rink, having previously fractured her left wrist during a training tumble with her local coach. 'I basically had a fall. It's so easily done, I fractured my left wrist.
Which isn't great, considering I only have one in the first place! It's not the best thing!' she shared with Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary on This Morning. However, this time it was Colin's turn to face adversity. On Wednesday evening, he posted a harrowing image on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, showing his grey tracksuit drenched in blood from his shin, captioning the grisly scene with 'Ouchie #DancingOnIce rehearsals.' On the picture, he wrote: 'Battle wounds.' Fans were quick to flood the comments with well-wishes, with one concerned follower writing: 'Oh no - that's not good! Hope you are as ok as you can be,' and another chiming in with: 'Ouch, that must hurt. Hope you are ok. Look after yourself.' Despite their rocky start due to Mollie's injury, Mollie and Colin have emerged as the pair to keep an eye on this series. Colin recently spilled to the Mirror about how they've navigated the training challenges, suggesting the enforced break might have even been a blessing in disguise. 'We had about a month off the ice. It was a bit frustrating and we were just hoping to get back on the ice as soon as possible,' he divulged, reports the Mirror. 'But since then, after our month off, we got back on the ice, and it's been full steam ahead, and things have been going very, very well. So it started off a bit rough, but we stayed positive, and now things are looking good.' Discussing how they turned the 'bummer' into a boon, he revealed that ITV had arranged for a dance studio for them to train in daily while they were off the ice. 'We worked about two to three hours in the dance studio every day in front of the mirrors,' he said. 'And that really helped us in the long run.' Earlier this week, Hollyoaks actress Chelsee Healey was the first celeb to be shown the door from the series, alongside her professional skating partner Andy Buchanan, after scoring a lowly 22 points. 'It's fine. Personally there's been a lot going on with me that I've been struggling with so I couldn't focus, but I'm just really grateful,' she said of her departure
