Dancing On Ice competitor, Zoe Salmon, has revealed that she is desperate to attempt the headbanger, a move where her dance partner would swing her up and down by the ankles.

“I would love to do it tomorrow. You have no idea how much I’m itching to do that,” Salmon told the Daily Record. “That’s what it’s all about for me, the big lifts and the tricks. I really hope I’ll be able to do the headbanger.”

The former Blue Peter host also admitted that she often worries about what injuries she may sustain whilst rehearsing for the show.

“I go to my lesson and I think, ‘What’s going to happen to me today?’ This week, I was so tired I tripped over myself when I arrived on one of the days and was told to go home,” she explained.

“The programme makers know it’s a dangerous sport. You just have to look at Michael Underwood, who broke his ankle last year. That was at the end of a session when he was tired and decided to do his performance one more time.

“I thought you trained on the ice until you got it 100 per cent but you only get to train two hours a day so you don’t get too tired and make mistakes.”
