Dancing On Ice star forced to pull out of ITV series just days after another skater quits show
A DANCING On Ice star has been forced to pull out of the ITV show, after an injury.
It comes just days after pro skater Vanessa Baeur also had to quit the series due to injury, hours before the live show.
EastEnders star Charlie Brooks’ partner Eric Radford has had to pull out through injury.
Charlie is now training with Brendyn Hatfield, in a bid to get him up to speed with the routine.
It's a huge blow for Charlie and Eric, and Brendyn stepping in comes very last minute, due to the next Dancing On Ice live show being just a couple of days away.
Speaking about the shock injury, Charlie has said: "Eric had an injury in his back and then his quad wasn’t firing properly so he’s having to have an MRI and has been told he has to have this week off the ice, which is so gutting.

She continued: "It’s such a shame, he’s my number one and I will be lost without him.
"But I’m trying to flip it and think that it will be exciting to be able to skate with someone else, and Brendyn is wicked so it will be nice to get to know him a little bit.
"But I’ll be skating for Eric this weekend, 100%, I want to do him proud.
"I just hope that this won’t mean me and Eric never dance again, it feels do dramatic, but I have just loved every moment with him, I wouldn’t want it to end like this for us."
