Dancing on Ice star rushed to hospital after hitting the ice and splitting chin

Dancing on Ice pro skater Sylvain Longchambon was rushed to hospital after splitting his chin open during rehearsals. The 42-year-old professional skater was practising his moves with Coronation Street actress Mollie Gallagher, 25, when the accident happened.

In the lead up to Sunday’s Dancing On Ice show the celebrities were said to have had ‘lots of falls’, according to the ITV show's creative director, Dan Whiston. As reported by The Mirror, the programme has been troubled with injuries since the celebrities signed up for the show last year, including The Wanted's Siva Kaneswaran passing out in a freak accident.

This weekend Sylvain was reported to have been rushed to hospital after hitting his chin on the ice in rehearsals. The French skater needed to have his chin glued before being able to go back on the ice to perform with Mollie, reports The Sun.
