Unfortunately, it seems that Dancing on Ice star, Dame Sarah Storey, has had to face a major disappointment. Just weeks before the highly anticipated first episode, the Paralympian cyclist and swimmer has announced that she will no longer be able to participate in the show. In a heartfelt statement, she expressed her sadness and frustration at having to pull out.
She began by saying she was "absolutely gutted" that her training for Dancing on Ice had been suddenly interrupted. She had been looking forward to showcasing her first routine with her partner, @slongchambon, and things were really starting to come together. Along with her message, she shared a photo of her foot in a cast, resting in front of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree.
Dame Sarah went on to explain that an unfortunate stumble on the ice had resulted in a fractured ankle. She was grateful to have had her partner and coach, @stephenpickavance, by her side, as well as the exceptional medical team associated with the show. The Head of Medical, @sharonmorrisonuk, acted quickly and got her to the best surgeon, who has already fixed her ankle and sent her home to begin her rehabilitation.
Despite the good news, Dame Sarah admitted that she won't be able to wear her skating boot in time for the January start date. However, she is already working with ITV to come up with a plan for what's next. She also emphasized that she will continue to support and cheer on her fellow contestants, the "Class of 2025."
In the meantime, she will be focusing on regaining her strength and mobility in order to get back to full power and, of course, her bike for next season. She acknowledged that her career has been full of ups and downs, including injuries and returning to competition after having two babies. Therefore, she is confident in her ability to make yet another comeback.
Dame Sarah also expressed her gratitude that the injury wasn't more serious, as the surgeon confirmed that she has strong bones. She took a moment to thank all the amazing people she had the opportunity to work with and learn from during her short time on the show. She couldn't have asked for a better partner and coaching team.
While her plans may have been interrupted for now, she assured her fans that there will be more news to come. And with that, she encouraged anyone with a celebrity story, video, or pictures to get in touch with the entertainment team at The Agency. They can be reached by email, phone, or by visiting the Submit Stuff page. Dame Sarah and her team would love to hear from you.
