'Ice' star Suzanne faces new injury woe

Suzanne Shaw has fractured her ankle in rehearsals for Dancing on Ice.

The singer had to be rushed to hospital for an X-ray after she landed awkwardly while practising her latest routine with dance partner Matt Evers.

Though medics have advised Suzanne to pull out of the ITV1 skating show, she has vowed to get back on the ice for tonight's episode.

"The pain is excruciating - worse than giving birth. But I really want to go on," Suzanne told the Sunday Mirror. "I've worked so hard and the idea of letting my partner Matt down now is terrible. We've put in so much work and got this far. We can't stop now."

"When I landed I knew something was wrong - it felt like an electric shock through my ankle," she explained. "I was close to tears. This could mean I'm out of the show. I was having such a great week and I had a horrible feeling something was going to happen."

A show executive warned: "We have a responsibility to ensure all the celebrities are fit to perform and Suzanne will only take to the ice if the physio gives her the go-ahead."
