OHMYGOSSIP — Conor Ball needed stitches due to injuring himself while competing on ‘Dancing on Ice’.
‘The Vamps’ bassist took to Twitter to let his fans know he was “okay” and how “lucky” he was to be still in the competition after cutting himself on his partner Alexandra Schauman’s skate during Prop Week.
The 25-year-old musician wrote: “Guys I’m okay, currently getting my leg stitched up but thank you so so so much for voting me through once again, you guys are actually incredible i’m too lucky honestly.”
After his fall, Connor was insistent about not seeing a medic before judging after hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield checked to see if he was alright.
He said: “I don’t want to look at what’s going on under here right now. A blade ran into my leg.”
The accident prompted the judges to point out how “dangerous” getting out on the ice is for the celebs.
Ashley Banjo – who sits on the panel with Jayne Torvill, Christopher Deane and Oti Mabuse – said: “Anyone who wonders if Dancing on Ice is dangerous it really is on the line every single time.”
This is not the first time that Connor has needed stitches while taking part in the ITV star-studded skating competition as during practice – before the 6 February broadcast – he fell, injuring his chin, moving his performance slot from the opener to the end of the line-up.
He told viewers: “I was a bit stressed about the spin so I kept trying to perfect the spin and I slipped out and smacked my face on the ice.”
After getting through his dance, the stitches reopened, prompting him to hold a tissue to his face as he got his evaluation from the judges, who praised his bravery
Christopher said: “Welcome to the club. We all get it eventually. That means you’re becoming a professional skater.”
