Dancing on Ice's Connor Ball shares graphic injury snap after slicing leg open with blade

Connor Ball is currently recovering after suffering a gruesome injury amid his Dancing on Ice stint.

On Sunday night The Vamps star's skating shoe blade went into his leg leaving him with a bloody gash as he and professional ice dance Alexandra Schauman performed.

And on Monday, the musician, 25, took to social media to explain to his fans that he was seen by a medical team after the injury.

He then went on to warn his followers that if they were "squeamish" they should not swipe through the gallery of images he shared - as the upload included a graphic capture of his cut leg.

The gruesome image showed blood being moped up from the deep wound on Connor's shin by a medical professional.

"Don’t swipe too far if you’re squeamish…" Connor wrote.

"Swipe for my nights progression! but warning: don’t swipe too far if you’re squeamish…

"What a crazy night, i really did get too much into the whole pirate thing. thank you for all the messages i really appreciate it, im absolutely gutted about the routine but so grateful you guys still went absolutely mad and voted me through i can’t thank you enough!!

"Once again an accident that never happened in training at all which makes it all the worse for me but gonna put it in the past and get back to training asap!!

"A huge thank you to the whole team for putting me back together as always and supporting through everything, it really means a lot. much love. x."

Connor took a nasty tumble on the ice as he performed during props week on Sunday evening.

Towards the end of the routine, Connor attempted a jump but ended up taking a tumble - which left him bleeding.

In true trooper style, Alexandra and Connor continued their routine but the judges pointed out the fall meant their score suffered.

After the pair were awarded 34 points, Connor informed hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that he was bleeding.

"We are gutted for you," Phillip told him, before adding: "But first of all, are you okay?"

"I don't wanna look what's going on under here right now," Connor admitted as Alexandra confirmed: "It is bleeding!"

"The blade went into my leg so I dunno if something's cut open," Connor shared.
