Jayne Torvill needs to have surgery after injuring her arm

The 65-year-old former Olympic champion appeared on Sunday night's (26.02.23) show wearing a green sparkly sling which matched her dress and she explained she had hurt her bicep tendon and needs to have an operation to fix it.

She told show host Phillip Schofield: "Talking of things going wrong on the ice ... I've ruptured my bicep tendon I'm going to need surgery ... I'll be fine and we will be back on the ice soon."

It comes after a number of contestants suffered falls on the ice in the run up to Sunday's show.

Dailymail.com reports Carly Stenson, Nile Wilson and Mollie Gallagher all took tumbles during rehearsals but managed to escape injury. A source told the publication: "There have been lots of falls this week for the celebs. There haven't been any serious injuries, just a few bumps but the pressure is really ramping up as everyone gets closer to the semi-final and final. Everyone is determined to give their best performance."

The show ended with Carley being eliminated from the ITV skating contest. The 40-year-old actress - who is best known for her role as Steph Cunningham in Channel 4 soap opera 'Hollyoaks' - had been taking part in the ITV skating competition alongside Mark Hanretty but became emotional after missing out on a place in next week's semi-finals. Speaking on Sunday's episode, she told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: "It just got harder. I'm gonna miss this man. I've really enjoyed it, this is all a bit of a blur actually."
