Suzanne Shaw's future in the Dancing On Ice contest hangs in the balance as she chipped an ankle bone when landing awkwardly in rehearsals.

Just last week, the blonde actress and singer knocked Hollyoaks heartthrob and hot favourite Chris Fountain off the top of the leaderboard thanks to a massive 27.5 score for her routine to Music by Madonna.

But her chances of being able to skate on Sunday have been described as "50/50" after she sustained the left ankle fracture.

Her ankle was originally injured a few weeks ago when she was trampolining in practice for an unassisted jump on the ITV show.

She collapsed in pain and medics rushed on to the rink. Visibly upset, she was carried from the ice and taken to hospital, where an X-ray confirmed the break.

Having returned to Elstree studios, Shaw will undergo intensive physiotherapy.

A source said: "Suzanne will definitely not be able to go back on to the rink and at the moment its 50/50 as to whether she will skate (on Sunday)."

An ITV spokeswoman said: "We have a responsibility to ensure that all the celebrities are fit to perform and Suzanne will only take to the ice if the physio gives her the go-ahead before the show."

It's been a tough week for the ex-Hear'Say star and partner Matt Evers. On Friday, he suffered a cut just below his right eye when Shaw's skateblade hit him in the face.

Last week saw Fountain rack up 27 points dancing to Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers after struggling in rehearsals to master a double axle jump. Emmerdale star and former Page 3 model Linda Lusardi became the latest celebrity to be voted off the ice.

Please let her not be able to skateeee. Then they might not do an elimination this week.

I hope she has to quit the competition, Chris will win easy then.

Suzanne ftw

She'll be fine and on the ice. They're good at making injuries more dramatic than they are. If it was that bad she would have been forced to pull out as soon as the xray was done.

Chris will win because hes an OK skater (but he lacks grace) and he will get the tweenie vote from teenage girls which will make an impact but it won't make an impact on Gareth as Gareth gets lower scores.

BS: I reckon itll be Zaraah and Gareth bottom2, bye bye zaraah

[XxShortyxX]
