Dancing on Ice's The Vivienne suffers nasty fall in 'costly mistake' as Phillip Schofield concerned

The Vivienne sparked concern from Dancing on Ice host Phillip Schofield and viewers at home, after suffering a nasty fall in the opening number of Sunday's semi final.

A massive firm favourite with fans of the ITV show from her first skate, Drag Race UK's first ever champion, The Vivienne, has been a consistent high scorer in the new series, with her and partner Colin Grafton delighting the judges with routines featuring everything from The Vivienne dressed as Mary Poppins to a racing flag, which they had to negotiate for Prop Week.

With a double elimination looming, to leave just three couples for next week's Dancing on Ice final, the pressure was on The Vivienne, Nile Wilson, Joey Essex, Mollie Gallagher and Siva Kaneswaran to deliver the goods, with the ante upped further when they had to skate solo, without their professional partners for Sunday's Bond themed opener.

The Vivienne successfully performed a jump before things went wrong and she crashed to the ice, before using the edge of the set to help her get back on her feet and continue on like a true professional.

After the music ended and the celebs headed to get their scores, Phillip was quick to check on The Vivienne, with her replying: "My knees are hurting a bit, but I'm fine. We're dancing on ice, things happen," as Phillip remarked: "That's live skating for you!"

Sadly for The Vivienne, she received just one point from the judges for her solo, with Christopher Dean commenting: "Mistakes can be costly," as he delivered the marks, promoting some boos from the studio audience.

After that blow, there was then a massive reason for The Vivienne and Colin to celebrate when they came close to getting a perfect score, earning 39.5 out of 40 for their skate to Somewhere Over The Rainbow, before making it through to the final.
