DANCING on Ice’s spooked cast and crew fear the 13th series is jinxed — following an “unprecedented” avalanche of bad luck.
Bosses have axed tonight’s live show because so many stars are injured or out of sorts and there are worries the ITV hit may be pulled altogether.
Ex-Corrie star and favourite Faye Brookes, 33, saw partner Hamish Gaman quit last week with an injured finger, Matt Evers’ replacing him.
Aussie Jason Donovan, 52, missed last Sunday with back pain.
Rapper Lady Leshurr, 32, is suffering leg pain and Rebekah Vardy, 39, a groin strain.
Actress Denise van Outen, 46, and Towie’s Billie Shepherd, 31, quit after tumbles.
Covid did for comic Rufus Hound, 41, Emmerdale star Joe-Warren Plant, 18, and his partner Vanessa Bauer, 24.
An insider said: “Everyone backstage is up-in-arms about all the accidents and drop-outs. It’s unprecedented.
“It feels like a curse. Like everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.
“Some people wonder if we’ll last until the end of the series. And all because of the number 13!”
Fear of 13 is not unusual in telly circles. Britain’s Got Talent jumped from Series 12 to 14 to avoid it.
