Charlie Brooks Dancing On Ice partner becomes latest injured

Dancing On Ice professional skater Eric Radford will skip this weekend’s show, becoming the latest competitor to get an injury this year.

The 40-year-old Olympic gold medallist from Canada has been partnered with EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks since the ITV competition began last month.

A statement to the Dancing On Ice Instagram said: “Unfortunately, Eric Radford has sustained an injury during rehearsals. Following medical advice, he will not be able to skate with Charlie Brooks this week.

“(Ice dancer) Brendyn Hatfield will skate with Charlie. We wish Eric a quick recovery and hope to see him back on the ice next week.”

Radford’s injury follows skater Vanessa Bauer being forced to withdraw from the rest of the series after tearing ligaments in “an accident” backstage last week.

TV personality Chris Taylor instead skated with a new partner Robin Johnstone on Sunday.

In January, comedian Josh Jones had to leave the competition early after twisting his ankle.
