Dancing On Ice saw Britain’s Got Talent star Ben Hanlin eliminated in a skate-off against Paralympian Libby Clegg last weekend as he just missed out on the final. Joe Swash sailed on through to the last instalment of the year but saw himself in a horror injury during training with his partner, Alex Murphy, as he today provided an update to his fans on Instagram.
This weekend will see the skating competition return for one last time this season as one of the remaining couples will be crowned winners of Dancing On Ice 2020.
Joe Swash, Libby Clegg and Perri Kiely are all in the running to gain the title as Ben Hanlin saw himself knocked out in the semi-final.
However, it hasn’t been free from drama as one of the finalists suffered a horror head injury after their partner accidentally kicked him with their skates.
Ex-EastEnders star Joe has continued to impress the panel with his confident skates as he has easily progressed through the competition.

Joe added: “Her skates kicked me in the ear, which gave me cauliflower ear.”
