- Dancing on Ice has seen a lot of injuries among the stars taking part this year, with Love Island star Wes Nelson being the latest victim. On Sunday, the 20-year-old suffered a nasty fall while lifting Vanessa above his head during rehearsals, but lost his footing and tumbled to the ground, taking Vanessa with him. Wes was then assessed by paramedics, and lucky for fans, will still be going ahead with the performance on Sunday night. An ITV spokesman said: "He was assessed by show medics a result they will be changing their routine for this evening's performance. They will no longer be incorporating the Detroiter lift into the routine."Dancing on Ice star Wes Nelson suffered a nasty fallJames Jordan has also injured himself during Dancing on Ice training on a number of occasions. Last weekend, he appeared to be in discomfort in a new video posted on Instagram by his co-star Brian McFadden. Brian shared behind-the-scenes footage of the professional dancer being looked after by the show's medical team, and was screaming in agony as he put his hand into a bowl of ice to help ease the pain.

- Dancing on Ice star James Jordan has had a busy time since leaving Strictly Come Dancing in 2013. The professional dancer has gone on to make a number of appearances in other popular TV shows, most recently in Dancing on Ice. The celebrity has been partnered with professional skater Alexandra Schauman. James is proving his skating abilities are just as good as his dance skills, and while there has been debate whether he has an unfair advantage as a result of his profession, his legion of fans are rooting for him to win the ITV show. When he isn’t working, the dancer enjoys nothing more than spending time with his wife and former Strictly star, Ola Jordan, and the pair recently welcomed HELLO! into their home for an exclusive interview.James Jordan is a contestant on the 2019 series of Dancing on Ice James Jordan on Dancing on IceJames is favourite to win Dancing on Ice this year, and has had the support of his former Strictly stars and wife Ola, who have cheered on from the audience during his performances. Just after it was announced that James would be going on the show, he opened up about the assumption that he would be good at skating because of his dancing background. "People are going to probably say I've got an unfair advantage but when I got on the ice, I actually shocked myself how bad I was," he revealed on BBC Radio 5 Live. While the former Strictly pro is a popular contestant, the star admitted that he was having trouble skating due to his arthritis, which was spurred on by a fall on the ice. Writing in his Best magazine column, he said: "I fell practising a jump the other day and landed on my hip. Given I have arthritis there, it wasn't ideal. It hurt - a lot." However James still took part and made it through to the next week.MORE: Ola and James Jordan open up about their two year struggle to start a familyJames with his wife Ola Jordan James Jordan on Celebrity Big BrotherJames has appeared twice in the Celebrity Big Brother house, first in 2014, where he came out in third place. The star then went back in 2017 for the all-star series. The professional dancer spoke out about his time on CBB recently after hearing that the show had come to an end. He told Digital Spy: "[I'm] gutted, actually. Because everybody knows it started as a social experiment, I just think the whole psychology side of it really interests me, watching how people react under the pressure. I always enjoyed watching in particular the celebrity one, people that you think you know, and then you watch them on TV and then you see them in a different situation and how they cope with it. I'm gutted, but I'm hoping another channel takes it over. I was fortunate enough to do it twice, so for me I really like the show." James Jordan's other TV appearancesThe 40-year-old has been on a number of programmes throughout his career, including Celebrity Coach Trip, which he appeared on alongside Ola, and Through the Keyhole. The couple also took part in a celebrity version of Total Wipeout in 2009 while they were still on Strictly.READ: James and Ola Jordan announce devastating news James Jordan's personal lifeIn February, James and Ola gave a joint exclusive interview to HELLO! about their hopes to have a baby in the future. The couple – who have been married for more than 15 years – have been trying to conceive for two years but with no success. "I would love to be a mum with all my heart and I just thought it would happen naturally," said Ola, 36. "James is also desperate to have babies and I just wish it could have happened by now. That’s the one gift I would love to give him. I guess I just thought, like most women, that I could choose when the time was right for me; that I could have my career and then have a baby when it felt right. But for us it just hasn’t happened like that." The couple then revealed their plans to start IVF. "The irony is that for 17 years during our career we tried not to have children because dancing is not a career that easily fits in with family life," James said. "When we finally did try, it was a sting to realise we couldn’t conceive straight away. After consultations we’ve realised we are one of the lucky ones and that, with help, hopefully one day we can realise our baby dreams."Like this story?

- Former Strictly professional James Jordan has only been going from strength to strength on ITV's Dancing On Ice, but during training this week, he and partner Alexandra Schauman suffered a nasty accident – with James dropping Alex on her head during a particularly tricky lift. The dancer has previously opened up about how dropping his partner was one of his biggest fears, and photographs from the moment show his upset.Alex is tended to by medicsImages released from the show show James fumbling with his grip on Alex as she is pulled upside-down between his legs, before losing his balance completely and tumbling over on top of her. Medics rush on to the ice to check for injury as the professional figure skater grasps the back of her head – later she is seen consoling James as he sits with his head in his hands.James Jordan gets surprise Strictly visit on Dancing on IceLoading the player...Speaking exclusively to HELLO!, James previously spoke about his fears of completing the complicated lifts during his routines. Comparing his new challenges to his Strictly past, he said: "From being involved in it, I would say that the danger factor on ice far, far outweighs the danger factor on Strictly… because yes we have to do lifts, but doing it on ice with a thin blade… it is really, really dangerous, especially for the female professionals on Dancing on Ice. I feel sorry for them because they're being lifted by people who aren't really that great at skating. Also for me, I've lifted before, but I have a fear of lifting someone on ice because I know really, 'Should I be doing it?' Probably not, because I'm not a good enough skater."Inside Ola and James Jordan's gorgeous homeJames lost his balance during a liftNo doubt the professional pair have picked themselves up since the set-back, though James has also spoken of how painful it can be to fall on the ice. He told us: "The thing is, when you get something wrong on the floor, it doesn't matter – you just do it again… if you get something wrong on the ice and you fall over, it hurts a lot. It's tough, but I'm loving every second of it."

- Coronation Street actress Jane Danson has opened up about the emotional backstory behind her fainting on the ice during Dancing on Ice rehearsals at the beginning of the month. The 40-year-old actress appeared on Monday's Lorraine following her elimination on Sunday night, and told host Christine Lampard that she had passed out due to a "combination" of factors, including the grief of her dad's death anniversary. She said: "In all honesty I think it was a combination of quite a few things that particular day. I arrived at the studio slightly later than normal for various reasons. We didn't have much chance to warm up, I was severely dehydrated."Jane Danson bravely skated after fainting just before the showJane added: "And just to add insult to injury, it was also the anniversary of my dad's death that day, so I was feeling quite emotional."

Robert was seen in tears as he watched Jane go through with her skating performance, and the actress said of her husband: "He was very overwhelmed and has been an amazing support."MORE: Who is Coronation Street star Jane Danson?Jane and her husband, Robert BeckREAD: Has Meghan Markle inspired Prince Charles' latest hobby?Following her elimination on Sunday night, Jane took to Instagram after the show to pay tribute to her skating partner Sylvain Longchambon and Robert.
