Skating pros rallied around him with Robin Johnstone writing: "Oh no ouch!!! Feel better soon xo."

While Yebin Mok said: "Oh no! Feel better soon! Xx."

Christopher shed more light on the accident, joking he had been performing a fictional move called the Iron Lotus - made famous by ice skating comedy flick Blades of Glory - before adding he'd really just tripped over a suitcase.

Alongside a mirror selfie, in which he held up his injured pinky, he wrote: "We were trying the Iron Lotus, but ended up doing a Half Nelson... or did I just fall over a suitcase in the middle of the night [laughing emoji]."

Dancing On Ice fans needn't worry though, Christopher looked healthy and happy in his picture, so he'll be behind the desk on Sunday night's launch show.
