Christopher Dean has been forced to pull out of performing on Dancing On Ice because of an injury, say reports.
The skater, 50, suffered damage to his shoulder during the filming for the Christmas special, according to The Sun.
He will still be a mentor on the show, but will be unable to dance with partner Jayne Torvil until his injury is fixed.
"Everyone was really worried as he is a key part of the show," said a source. "If his injury had knocked him out completely it would have been a disaster.
"He is due to appear when the show returns in January. He won't be allowed to dance with Jayne or by himself until docs give him the all-clear."
