Greg Rutherford speaks out

Greg Rutherford has provided a health update after a serious injury forced him to withdraw from the Dancing On Ice final just before the show aired. The 37-year-old Olympian revealed on ITV's Lorraine show that he is recovering and even hinted at a possible return to the ice.

Details of the injury

Greg was rehearsing for his final routine when he suffered the injury, which left his abs detached and required surgery to repair. He described the moment the injury occurred during a nautical-themed routine where he slid on his stomach between a dancer's legs. Despite the setback, Greg shared that he is feeling better and is open to the idea of returning for a one-off skate.

Hope for a comeback

While reflecting on his experience on Dancing On Ice, Greg mentioned that there have been discussions about a potential return to the show. He expressed a desire to give it another go, acknowledging that there might be some unfinished business. However, he also emphasized the importance of ensuring his skating partner, Vanessa, is able to return as well.

Previous challenges

Greg had previously admitted that he wasn't fully prepared for the show's final before the injury occurred. His professional skating partner, Vanessa, shared the news of his withdrawal on social media, citing a significant injury during rehearsals. Despite having to pull out of the final, fans have shown support for Greg and his skills on the ice.

The former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas ultimately won the Dancing On Ice crown after Greg's departure from the competition.
