OHMYGOSSIP — Denise Van Outen has had to quit ‘Dancing On Ice’ due to injury.
The 46-year-old actress took a tumble on the ice while rehearsing at the ITV show’s rink at Bovingdon Airfield, Hertfordshire, earlier this month resulting in her badly injuring her left shoulder.
Although she was able to take to the ice with her professional partner Matt Evers for her first skating routine, an MRI scan has shown that she has three bone fractures as well as a partial dislocation in her shoulder which means she has to hang up her skates for the sake of her health.
Denise announced her departure from the competition in a lengthy Instagram post, which read: “GUTTED! If you’ve been watching @dancingonice you will be aware that just over a week ago I had a nasty fall and injured my shoulder. I managed to skate my first dance with @themattevers on the live show through a gritted smile because the pain was unbearable. I’ve tried as hard as I can to carry on because I love the show and the amazing team in front and behind the cameras. Initially we thought with rest I could make a return to the ice, but a recent MRI scan has shown that I have 3 bone fractures as well as a partial dislocation. OUCH! No wonder I’ve been in agony.
“I won’t be able to do any lifts, tricks or solo skating on the show due to my injury. I’m going to bail out gracefully with my DOI bling sling. @themattevers has been the most incredible support and skate partner (a true friend) and I’m so grateful for his expertise in teaching me (ice virgin) the basics. I just wish I was well enough to learn all the fabulous tricks my injury won’t allow me to do. Chair dancing on Ice with a massive pie won’t get us points on the leaderboard. I’m actually proud of what I’ve achieved ( not much, lowest scores so far) . If you don’t mind I’m going to give myself a couple of points for bravery for doing cartwheels on Ice at 46 with broken bones.”
Denise signed off her post – which was accompanied by a photo of her with Matt with her arm in a sling – by wishing all of the remaining celebrities in the competition the “best of luck” for the weeks ahead.
She added: “I wish all the celebs, pros and judges the best of luck for the rest of the series. I’m rooting for you all. Bunch of legends #dancingonice2021”
‘Dancing On Ice’ airs again on ITV this Sunday (31.01.21).
