Chelsee Healey's scary moment
DANCING on Ice's curse claimed a victim before the new series started when contestant Chelsee Healey passed out after a fall during rehearsals. The Hollyoaks and Waterloo Road actress was said to have been shaken following the accident — but still appeared on last night's opener. Her pro skater partner Andy Buchanan described the frightening moment, saying, "She fell right on her tailbone, right on her coccyx."
Mentally challenging experience
Chelsee Healey, 36, shared her experience after the tumble, revealing, "Broken. I'm sh***ing myself. It has been the most mentally challenging thing I've ever done in my life." She expressed her worries and the discomfort of stepping out of her comfort zone for the ITV series.

Dancing on Ice has seen its fair share of injuries over the years, including dislocated shoulders, knocked-out contestants, and broken bones. The show has a reputation for its dangerous nature, with past incidents involving celebrities like Denise Van Outen, Vanilla Ice, and ex-England goalie David Seaman.
