Dancer on show had to leave after sustaining serious injury.

Sad news for fans of Stephen Lustig-Webb and Dancing On Ice. The Gogglebox legend has been forced to pull out of the competition due to injury.

According to a statement from the show's spokesperson, Stephen sustained a break to his left ankle during training and, on the advice of medical professionals, had to withdraw from the competition.

A source told the Daily Mail that Stephen is "gutted" about his early exit. The incident took place on Wednesday when Stephen "turned on his skates" and "snapped his ankle". He was then rushed to the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth and told that he would need to be on crutches for three months. It is also claimed by the publication that Stephen had metal plates put into his ankle during an operation.

Stephen announced his participation in Dancing On Ice just over two weeks ago during an episode of Lorraine. Speaking about his inclusion, an excited and nervous Stephen said: ‘The last time I was on the ice I think I was 14 so almost 40 years ago.’

It is a real shame that Stephen is no longer able to compete, and we wish him a speedy recovery. We hope to see him back on the ice soon!
