After falling she scored just 13.5 for her routine from the judges - landing herself at the bottom of the leaderboard and the public voted her into the skate off on next week's show.

"It's the story of my life, I'm just really angry at myself," she said afterwards.

Trisha appeared emotional after the fall and had tears in her eyes as she talked to the judges.

And viewers were upset for the telly legend and proud of her for carrying on, with one tweeting: "Trisha may have tripped, but she carried on. We love you!"

Another added: "Trisha is 62?! She looks amazing and I felt sorry for her falling over, unlike you know who last year which was hilarious."

Last year, Gemma Collins shocked fans when she tripped and fell face-first on the ice during one of the routines.

Reflecting on the tumble, Gemma said: "I remember thinking, 'I'm nearly at the end, I haven't fallen yet, this is a miracle, maybe I'll stay in for one more week.

"I got so excited, I just went too over the top with my movement, which you're not allowed to do in ice skating and my toe pick got caught – and bang."

She continued: "I thought I was dead. I literally thought I was dead.

Trisha's place on the show marks her return to TV after her chat show was cancelled in 2014.

It first aired on ITV from 2005 to 2009 but in 2012 moved across to Channel 5.

Unfortunately, it was cancelled after two years.

Trisha's talk show was one of the most popular daytime telly programmes in the Naughties.

Trisha then took her show across the Pond - but sadly, it was canned after two series.

She performed live on the show for the first time tonight.

The series will air on the channel at the same time every Sunday until the grand finale.

The first elimination is expect to take place in week two on Sunday January 12.
