Holly Willoughby 'almost threw up' after Scots singer Connor Ball's horror Dancing on Ice fall

Squeamish Holly Willoughby 'almost threw up' after seeing Connor Ball's Dancing on Ice injury in the flesh.

Co-host Phillip Schofield announced the star was queasy last weekend when she witnessed the fall during the Aberdeen musician's performance.

Connor, 25, fell over during his turn on the rink with Alexandra Schauman and ended up needing stitches.

The dancing duo were busting moves and making use of a mop and bucket for Props Week but unfortunately Connor tripped and sliced his leg.

The Vamps singer made it back on the ice for last nights show (Sunday 6), and Phillip couldn't resist telling everyone how ill Holly felt after seeing the cut.

As reported in The Mirror, Phil, 59, gave Connor a warm welcome back: "It's time for a quick break but when we come back... he's been tripped up, stitched up, he's next up.

"Last week when Holly saw his injuries she almost threw up!" he then added as Holly confirmed it was true.

Phil explained that himself Holly had looked over the balcony when the paramedic was tending to Connor and ended up getting a full show of his gruesome injury.

Before Connor's pre-recorded VT was shown, Phillip warned viewers: "If you're squeamish you might want to look away from this."

In the clip, Connor admitted that the medics stitched him up but the whole incident was a blur as he couldn't even remember the judges comment after his accident.

"In total I've had 19 stitches which I think is a Dancing on Ice record!" he added.

Luckily, Connor didn't fall over during Torvill and Dean Week this Sunday as he and Alexandra Schauman danced to Cecilia by Simon and Garfunkel.

The duo received a total score of 35 and sailed through to the semi-final as Stef Reid became the latest celebrity to be voted off.

Connor will join Brendan Cole, Kye Whyte, Kimberly Wyatt and Regan Gascoigne in week nine of the competition - where there will be the first double elimination of the series.

Dancing on Ice continues Sunday at 6:30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
