Dancing On Ice's Patsy Palmer ‘shaken’ and lacking confidence after nasty fall on ice

Patsy Palmer is 'shaken' after suffering a nasty fall during her performance on Sunday night's episode of Dancing On Ice.

The former EastEnders actress, 50, took a nasty fall took on the ice while dressed up as Elphaba for her Wicked inspired dance with professional partner Matt Evers.

During Musical Week, Patsy and Matt danced their way through Defying Gravity from Wicked before the former Bianca Jackson fell flat on her face on the ice.

While she got off to an incredible start, as she and Matt waltzed across the ice, Patsy suddenly lost step and fell straight to the floor.

Ever the professional, Matt quickly tried to help Patsy up following her awkward fall and she was soon back on her feet.

"I'm ok, it's life, you fall, you get up, you carry on, it's amazing," she said while speaking to the judges after the performance.

Although she redeemed herself before the end of the performance, Patsy is believed to have been left 'shaken' following the fall and is now rebuilding her confidence.

Creative director Dan Whiston has revealed that Patsy was left feeling less confident following the scary fall.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: "We were a bit wicked to poor Patsy Palmer, who spent more hours than any other celebrity in make-up this week, as we had to paint her green.

"It was very entertaining for the rest of the cast watching the transformation and there was a lot of banter backstage.

"Patsy unfortunately took a tumble at the end of her performance and demonstrated nerves of steel when she got back up and finished her routine mid-air.
