Caprice refused to comment when contacted by The Sun Online.
Insiders claim the injuries were not caused during rehearsals for her Dancing on Ice return.
Model Caprice became the first celebrity in the ITV show's history to dump her professional skating partner Hamish Gaman because he was "pushing her too hard".
The pair haven't seen each other since their "catastrophic" row that saw them pull out of Sunday night's live show.
Caprice was seen the next day - without any injuries - as she went into crisis talks with producers over her future on the show.
But yesterday she was spotted going into training at 5am sporting a black eye.
Despite the wound on her face, Caprice stayed positive as she shared a video of her spinning on the ice yesterday morning.
She captioned it: "5am start spinning into the morning with a bang #letsdothis hope everyone has a great day."
She has remained tight-lipped about the reason why she refused to continue working with Hamish, but Caprice told fans she's happy with her new partner.
Confirming who she had been recoupled with, Caprice said: "Oscar Peters. He is amazing."
Following her fallout with Hamish, a source told The Sun: “Caprice’s relationship with Hamish was harmonious at the start but as time went on they became more strained.
“She felt he was pushing her too hard in training and Caprice started to struggle.
“She felt he could have been more patient and they ended up having a big row.
“In the end it became completely unworkable for them to carry on and after speaking with the bosses they called it quits. It was getting toxic so stopping the partnership was best for everyone.”
The married television personality has been described as a "stroppy, self-absorbed, compulsive liar" by the TV producer behind the show that made her famous.
