Reacting to the news, Faye shared a touching clip of her and Hamish practising on the rink to her 169,000 Instagram followers. 

She wrote in the caption: “Truly heartbroken with the news that @hamishgaman has had to withdraw from @dancingonice.

Faye added: “We both can’t thank the viewers at home enough for your constant support and for voting for Team #Faymish.

“Last but not least I have to Thank you Mr Gaman for supporting me no matter what! Here’s to a friendship that will go beyond the ice.

“Here for you always.”

ITV confirmed the news yesterday, after the skater revealed he had performed with Faye on Sunday with the injury - and the pair had changed the routine at the last minute.

Speaking to Heat Radio, he said: "Faye wasn't fully aware but I snapped a tendon in my hand and I was advised before the show that I'm putting my finger at risk for the rest of my life here."

Dancing On Ice has been hit by a string of injuries recently, with The Sun revealing earlier this week that bosses had axed this weekend’s episode.

Denise Van Outen became the first to leave the show after fracturing her shoulder in training, followed by Rufus Hound who tested positive for coronavirus.
