We all know that with a show like Dancing On Ice, the risks of being injured are quite high.
And the latest rumour is Love Island’s Kem Cetinay could be on standby for Sunday night’s show as medics decide whether his partner Alex Murphy can take to the ice.
Alex reportedly sustained an injury on Friday as the pair were rehearsing for their performance.

The Daily Star reported that the professional skater hurt her ankle and could be forced to pull out of tonight’s show, which would leave show bosses wondering what to do with Kem.
An insider claimed there had been talks of getting a reserve skater lined up just in case, or even fast-tracking Kem and Alex to the next round.
“This is a nightmare for Kem and Alex,” said the source.
“They’d worked really hard on their routine for this week’s show but now everything is hanging in the balance. It’s 50/50 whether she’ll be able to perform.”
A source told Entertainment Daily! that Alex did sustain an injury to her ankle in rehearsals and her performance tonight was still to be confirmed, and she is being monitored by the show’s onsite physio.

Kem and Alex, however, seem determined to carry on, as Kem has announced on Twitter that he can’t wait for tonight’s show
He wrote: “SHOW WEEK! Thank you to everyone who has kept me and my lovely partner in for this long! We can’t wait to perform this week’s routine and hopefully you all like it.”
Alex retweeted the message, as well as a montage of all the skaters rehearsing for tonight’s show
Is this confirmation we will be seeing the pair on the ice this evening?
Let’s hope Alex’s ankle gets better soon, either way.
