Dancing On Ice has become widely known as one of the most dangerous reality shows on British television.With several stars bravely partaking in jaw-dropping lifts and gravity-defying stunts on the ice, the popular programme has often left viewers and show judges squeamish.Throughout the years, several contestants and professional skaters have pushed themselves to the limits and had accidents while training or on the live show itself.And this year's series is no exception, as many of the celebrity contestants have already experienced a terrible accident that has left them fairly shaken.Now that we are halfway through this year's competition, Dail Star has taken a look at the most terrifying falls and injuries that have taken place so far.Happy Mondays star Bez experienced a brutal fall in January while training for the dancing compeition.With only two days to go before the show's highly anticipated launch, Bez, 57, fell to the ground on his back and his head hit the ice.Although he was wearing a helmet at the time, the star's protection gear bounced off his head and rolled away.Lying down flat on the ice, Bez tried his best to slowly get back up on his feet but his dance partner Angela Egan encouraged him to take his time.Since the horrifying incident, Bez has continued to wear his helmet during the live shows - something that hasn't been permitted before.Previously discussing his accident on ITV's Lorraine, the musician confirmed to the host that he will continue to wear his helmet throughout the competition due to the fact that he is "accident-prone" and the ice is far "too slippy".The Vamps singer Connor Ball also experienced a gruesome injury of his own when he smashed his chin on the ice just moments before he was

Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing On Ice, Dawn Wilson explains that most of the 46 performers she manages have been training for their roles for "decades" - and that the average celebrity just couldn't cut it.She has promised nothing but "the highest level of acrobatics" for the show, which runs in London until February 27th.Creative director Dawn says: "I've worked on 12 Cirque du Soleil shows and every one that is created is a bit more advanced than the last - not just in special effects but in original creativity as well."We're basically upping our game every time."The acrobatic feats are phenomenal, with performers dropping from parachutes, balancing their entire body weight on just a single hand while propelled 20 feet above the stage, and performing hoop diving techniques on treadmills that are each 4000lb in weight.In one scene that might be overwhelmingly daunting to the average performer, acrobats leap from one moving swing to another, which is positioned several feet away from it, via multiple backflips through the air in the spaces in between.There are also incredible scenes where a woman is flung into the air and then turned into a "human skipping rope"."If you come to the Cirque du Soleil show, you expect the highest level of acrobatics and I think you can see that on stage comparable to anybody else," Dawn stated.When asked whether it can potentially take decades for would-be circus stars to perfect their skills to the standard of Cirque du Soleil, Dawn had no hesitation in answering: "Absolutely, yes - without a doubt!"I wouldn't say celebrities can come and be part of our shows."Some of [our performers] have been doing it since childhood, but definitely since [either] childhood or teenage years, they've
