Phillip Schofoeld has offered some key advice to contestants taking part in the new series of Dancing on Ice - don't get injured, with his advice coming after the ITV show has claimed a number of casualties over the years.
Since its launch at the start of 2006, the programme has statistically been one of the 'most dangerous' on TV, with a number of celeb skaters and professionals being injured, with some forced to pull out of the show. One of the most infamous came in series one and involved David Seaman, when the England keeper dropped partner Pam O’Connor when attempting the daring head-banger move., with Pam rushed to hospital to have stitches in her skin.
Other Dancing on Ice injuries have included ex Brookside star Jennifer Ellison slicing her head open with her skate while executing a 'scorpion kick' during a performance and pro Yebin Mok, who was forced to pull of the show in 2021, when Graham Bell's blade stabbed her in the shin in a freak accident.
