ITV Dancing On Ice's Connor Ball gives gruesome injury update after fall on live show

Dancing On Ice star Connor Ball has updated fans after suffering a fall and injury during Sunday night's live show.

The musician was back on the ice with his partner Alexandra Schauman for their latest routine featuring a mop and bucket.

But as they got to grips with their prop for the ITV skating competition's prop week, things went a bit wrong as a lift saw Connor and Alexandra both crash to the ice.

Following the routine, Connor and Alex spoke to concerned hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

The Vamps star explained that he took the tumble after a blade ran into his leg which left him bleeding.

Despite the fall, he scored 34 out of a possible 40 for his routine to Paradise by George Ezra which saw him dress as a pirate.

He quickly received medical attention and has now shared a rather gruesome update.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, Connor shared a snap of his injured leg as he sought treatment following his performance on the ITV show.

But it did come with a warning to his thousands of followers as he said: "Don’t swipe too far if you’re squeamish…"

"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."

And he was soon flooded with messages from his Dancing On Ice co-stars.

Kimberley Wyatt said: "Wow!!!!!! To sustain an injury that bad and keep going the way you did!!! you have the heart of a lion! Fall or not it was an epic performance mate."

"Jesus!!!!" Brendan Cole simply added.

Connor's pro partner Alex also said: "You are such a trooper and keep impressing me with sooo much progress & skills every week."
