Coleen Nolan vows to skate on

Coleen Nolan has promised to skate on in the semi-finals of Dancing On Ice, despite her recent injuries in training.

The Loose Women star dislocated a rib and disc, ripped a back muscle and was only given a 50% chance of skating in the next round, The Mirror reports.

The injury came a week after Nolan nearly missed the previous round due to a fractured wrist.

Nolan said: "I had never been in so much pain in my life. It was excruciating - even worse than childbirth. And I knew it was serious.

"There has been some improvement in my mobility and now they're saying I've got a 50/50 chance of getting back on the ice.

"I'm desperate to skate again. I feel I owe it to people who have voted for me to keep going. I've fought to be there and I will carry on fighting so long as it is physically possible."

Nolan has confirmed that she must wait one more day to find out if doctors will let her skate this weekend.
