Rachel Stevens won't take part in Dancing on Ice's second live show, with her debut being ruined by injury.
The former S Club 7 star turned solo singer was all set to join co-stars like Regan Gascoigne, Liberty Poole and Ben Foden in the second show of Dancing on Ice's new series after the first six celebs took to the rink for the first time at the weekend.
But on Wednesday morning, an ITV source confirmed that Rachel will no longer be skating on Sunday, after suffering an injury in rehearsals.

The Sweet Dreams My LA Ex singer fell on the ice during training and as a result has sustained a fracture to her wrist.
The Dancing on Ice spokesperson said: "Due to an injury sustained in training and on the expert advice from the Dancing on Ice medical professionals, Rachel Stevens will not skate in this Sunday's show.
"We look forward to her returning to the show next weekend."
All going well, Rachel will skate for the first time during the third live show on Sunday, January 30.
Rachel, who was at Dancing on Ice on Sunday, took to Instagram after the show to post: "What a fun first night on @dancingonice. I loved watching everyone and cheering them on, they were all amazing.
"So excited to get on the ice with my gorgeous partner @brendynhatfield …not long now!!!"
News of her injury comes after it was announced that Bez, who skated on the first live show, has tested positive for coronavirus.
However, with the isolation period now cut to five days and the Happy Mondays legend not due to skate gain until the 30th, it shouldn't impact his future on the show.
He finished bottom of the leaderboard on Sunday but managed to escape the dreaded Skate Off.
Lorraine TV correspondent Rhia Hebden will have to battle it out with whoever finishes bottom of the public vote this weekend, after she proved to be the least popular contestant on Sunday night.
