Dancing On Ice's Rachel Stevens in crunch medical talks this week to decide fate on show

Rachel Stevens is facing crunch medical talks this week to decide her fate on Dancing On Ice.

The former S Club star, 43, has fractured her wrist so can’t take part or train for now - giving the show even bigger problems with its contestants.

Earlier this week bosses were rocked by the news Bez has tested positive for covid and so will not be able to train this week and will need negative tests before returning to the rink.

The series only started last weekend and problems are mounting.

Rachel, who has actually been off the ice for a month now, will need to get the all clear from medics to even skate in week three.

She said: "I've got a meeting with the consultant this week so fingers crossed as soon as I get the all clear I can go back on the ice. It is so frustrating but you know what, these things happen and it's the risk you take."

The S Club 7 star will no longer skate in Sunday's show as planned.

She is paired up with Brendyn Hatfield (ITV)

A spokesperson said: "Due to an injury sustained in training and on the expert advice from the Dancing on Ice medical professionals, Rachel Stevens will not skate in this Sunday's show. We look forward to her returning to the show next weekend."

Rachel is said to have sustained a fracture to her wrist after a fall on the ice.

She'll now skate for the first time on the third week of the ITV competition on Sunday, January 30.
