Devastating blow for ITV series
A Dancing on Ice star has been forced to leave the ITV series just hours before tonight's live show after a devastating injury. The ITV programme has already seen comedian Josh Jones withdraw from the competition after sustaining an injury in rehearsals.
Pro skater Vanessa Bauer announces departure
In a further blow to the 2025 series, pro skater and former champ Vanessa Bauer has also had to quit the series due to injury. Vanessa, who is paired up with Love Island star Chris Taylor, took to her Instagram page to share a video announcing the sad news.
Vanessa Bauer's health comes first
Vanessa explained that she had a major sprain injury and a completely torn ligament, making it impossible for her to continue skating. Despite the disappointment, she emphasized the importance of putting her health first and focusing on rehab.
Support from co-stars
Vanessa was flooded with support from her co-stars, with Ferne McCann expressing her sympathy and Chris Taylor praising Vanessa's commitment and determination. Despite the setback, Vanessa remains positive and looks forward to getting back to skating.
