ITV Dancing on Ice's Jayne Torvill suffers 'dramatic' injury during practice ahead of final

Jayne Torvill has suffered a "dramatic" fall during rehearsals and is now unable to perform on the show this weekend, Chronicle Live reports.

She, is currently wearing her arm in a sling after rupturing a bicep tendon during practice with partner Christopher Dean ahead of the final on Sunday. All of this sadly means that the famous pair will not be able to recreate their iconic Olympic routine on the ice, for the first time in the show's 15-year history.

Speaking to The Mirror, Jayne explained: "I had kind of tweaked my arm the day before it happened and just felt a bit sore, you get these odd pulls and strains and work through them. We were doing a lift that was part of our routine, and I said to Chris 'Maybe we won't do this today, this might pull on the tendon,' and he said OK, and then I said 'No, it'll be fine, let’s just do it' – and I felt it ping, it pinged like an elastic band and it was extremely painful."
