Andi Peters, host of the ITV spinoff show Dancing On Ice Exclusive, has broken his ankle while rehearsing a routine with his partner Kristina Lenko.

Andi was set to perform the routine next week with Stephen Gatelys former skating partner, but it looks unlikely that he will be back on the ice anytime soon.

Andi, 36, said: “I didn’t think anything was broken until I looked down and saw just how big my ankle had swollen up.

“It was then that I began to think something major might be wrong. It was as if I had snapped a pencil in half.

“The last time I fell over on Dancing On Ice I only had a bruised bum, this time it’s a proper injury. Nobody should underestimate how challenging this show is.”

Ice Skating is a beautiful sport and a joy to watch but it doesn’t come without its dangers and thats what the celebrity contestants on ITV’s Dancing On Ice have come to realise.

It seems as though every one has been injured in some way

• Kelly Holmes has suffered from groin strain
• John Barrowman put his back out and injured his ankle. He also sliced partner Olga ‘s hand open with his blades
• Stefan Booth has dislocated his shoulder and is suffering from tendonitis in both knees
• Bonnie Langford has taken to wearing a safety helmet after bashing her head and she slashed her partner Matt Evers’ face with her boot blade during a spin
• Andi Peters dislocated his left wrist
• Andrea McLean broke a rib, knocked herself out and pulled a muscle in her bum!
• David Seaman has so far avoided injury but managed to fall on his partner and cause injury to her shoulder leaving her unable to skate this week.

  This lot would make a fortune in personal injury claims once the show ends….the unofficial sponsor of the show could be Claims Direct or some other seedy legal firm!
