Dancing on Ice star Connor Ball bleeding as blade slices his leg during nasty fall

Dancing on Ice star Connor Ball took a nasty tumble as he performed during props week on Sunday evening.

The Vamps star, 25, was tasked with using a mop in his latest routine with professional skater Alexandra Schauman, but sadly it didn't quite go to plan.

Towards the end of the routine, Connor attempted a jump but ended up taking a tumble - which left him bleeding.

Of course, the blunder didn't go unnoticed and the judges even admitted they would have given him a higher score if he hadn't fallen over.

However, Connor still managed to bag a total score of 34 - but he did tell hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that he was actually bleeding.

"We are gutted for you," Phillip told him, before adding: "But first of all, are you okay?"

"I don't wanna look what's going on under here right now," Connor admitted as Alexandra confirmed: "It is bleeding!"

"The blade went into my leg so I dunno if something's cut open," Connor then said as he tried to get his breath back.

Judge Ashley Banjo sympathised with him and said: "Firstly I really do hope you're alright, because for anyone who wonders if Dancing on Ice is dangerous - there you go!"

Dancing on Ice viewers were gutted for Connor and took to Twitter to comment.

"However this is what I love about Connor. He's a trooper. He falls over gets back up and carries he doesn't give up which I love. What a performer," they added.

A third person posted: "Connor gets my vote tonight for his sheer bad luck with the fall. Loved his routine #dancingonice."

A few hours later, Connor took to Twitter to let his fans know that he was alright.

He tweeted: "guys im okay, currently getting my leg stitched up but thank you so so so much for voting me through once again, you guys are actually incredible i’m too lucky honestly (sic)."

Connor also shared a video on his Instagram Story of a couple of medics treating him, and he appeared to be in good spirits.

Luckily for Connor, the tumble didn't have an effect on the public vote and he sailed through to next week's round whilst Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor was sent home.

Sally went up against Kye Whyte in the dreaded skate off, but all four judges decided to save Kye - which means Sally and her partner Matt Evers left the competition.
