Dancing On Ice's Carley Stenson latest axed from show moments after shoulder injury

Dancing On Ice 2023 star Carley Stenson broke down as she became the sixth competitor to be axed from the ITV skating series.

The former Hollyoaks star was the latest on the line-up to bow out of the show, with it just weeks before the live final - and she left moments after sustaining a painful injury on the ice.

Host Holly Willoughby called for medics to check on Carley, who revealed her shoulder had "popped out" during her skate-off routine, causing her pain.

But the show carried on as Carley insisted she was fine, and that her shoulder had "popped back in".

After another week of skating, it was actress Carley and singer Siva Kaneswaran who received the fewest public votes and had to compete in the dreaded skate-off.

As the performances came to an end, both celebrities and their professional skating partners, Mark Hanretty and Klabera Komini, joined hosts Holly and Phillip Schofield to find out their fates.

It's then that the panel Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean, Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse all voted to save Siva couple, with Carley sent home.

As the news was revealed Carley burst into tears, and confessed she was going to miss her skating partner Mark "so much".

As she praised her experience on the show, she had her injured arm behind Mark's back but appeared to be okay.

Speaking through the tears, she said: "It just got harder. I'm gonna miss this man. I really enjoyed it, this is all a bit of a blur right now. But I enjoyed it, thank you so much."

It comes as Darren Harriott was the fifth star to leave Dancing On Ice after a tense skate-off against Siva Kaneswaran.

"I lasted a lot longer than I expected. I thought I'd be out before the show started," Darren said.

"Honestly, thank you, thank you to everyone. I've never skated before Everyone's been so nice, all the pros and all the celebs."

He went on to praise professional partner Tippy and said: "I've never met anybody like Tippy... Her enthusiasm!"

Fans took to Twitter to say their goodbyes after watching Darren skate for the last time.

"What a lovely genuine guy Darren seems, he did so well too! Great to see the progression especially when he’s never done anything like it before." one person said.

Another added: "Sad to see Darren and Tippy go," while one wrote: "Nice of Darren to give a little shoutout for Tippy, given how badly this show usually treats the pros. He wasn’t great but will miss him."

Siva previously couldn't perform due to an illness and said that he was "gutted" after being forced to pull out.

A week prior to Darren’s exit, EastEnders star Patsy Palmer was eliminated while Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu was voted off the week before.

Michelle Heaton and John Fashanu were the first stars to leave the current series in weeks two and three.

Dancing On Ice airs Sundays at 6:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
