Love Island star Liberty Poole took a tumble during Sunday’s instalment of Dancing on Ice.
The 22-year-old fell from the arms of her partner Joe Johnson during their performance to Flo Rida's Right Round, with fans in the studio audience gasping in response.
Liberty and Joe quickly recovered and completed their routine for the score of 28 out of 40 from the judging panel, marking the pair's highest score in the competition despite the slip up.
Host Phillip Schofield said: "We thought you were home and dry."
Liberty replied: "What happened? That hasn’t happened before, but sometimes it just happens when it’s never actually happened before."
Phillip replied: "The most important thing is you got up and carried on."
Dancing on Ice viewers took to Twitter to commiserate, with one writing: "Poor Liberty it was going so well also #DancingOnIce"
Another wrote: "omg they fell over #DancingOnIce" with a string of crying emojis, as another said: "#DancingOnIce oh dear!"
A fellow fan tweeted: "Poor lib falling but she got right back up like nothing happened (: #DancingOnIce"
This evening the remaining celebrities performed a new routine with their professional partners, with each couple’s performance on the rink inspired by their favourite things.
The ice skating competition has seen the remaining contestants perform, with Coronation Street ’s Sally Dynevor, Happy Mondays star Bez, Paralympian Stef Reid, pro dancer Regan Gascoigne and Love Island ’s Liberty Poole still in the running.
They will be joined by Strictly pro Brendan Cole, Pussycat Doll Kimberley Wyatt, Olympian Kye Whyte and The Vamps member Connor Ball.
This comes as ITV’s Dancing on Ice welcomed regular host Phillip Schofield back to the fold this evening after he was forced to isolate with Covid-19.
The 56-year-old tested positive for coronavirus days before the live skating competition, forcing ITV to scramble for a replacement.
Stephen Mulhern, 44, stepped in to host alongside Holly Willoughby, 41, reuniting the pair for the first time since their work on Ministry of Mayhem in 2006.
As the ITV show entered its fifth week of the competition and Phillip returned to the rink alongside Holly, he said of last week: "I had serious FOMO - made better by three or four gin and tonics. Well done to Stephen Mulhern as well - you're welcome."
But fans were left calling for the Catchphrase host to be brought back in a permanent role after the pair’s stellar onscreen partnership last weekend.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “Miss Stephen Mulhern already TBH," while another said: "Oh no. Phil’s back. Hope to see Stephen back soon."
Another wrote: "I wish Stephen would host again he's an amazing presenter #DancingOnIce"
A fellow fan chimed: "Sorry Phil but I want Stephen back #DancingOnIce"
Another social media user wrote: "Nah, I'm off to watch midsomer murders. No Philip Schofield thanks, rather have Stephen Mulhern! #DancingOnIce"
Another said: "No offence to Phil but I think Stephen Mulhern is a better fit for #DancingOnIce his presenting was part of my childhood with CITV and Ministry of Mayhem"
A fellow ITV viewer tweeted: "#DancingOnIce Couldn't we keep Stephen Mulhern? #VoteSchofieldOff"
