Dancing On Ice star Brendan Cole was almost kept off the rink altogether after suffering a series of perilous falls over the weekend's rehearsals.

Now he has taken to Instagram to reveal the full extent of his painful injuries."A***-ice!" Brendan Cole exclaimed to his followers."Rehabbing an ongoing injury that nearly stopped me skating on Sunday!"Thanks to the incredible @sharonmorrisonuk for keeping me and @vanessabauer_skates on the @dancingonice rink despite me trying my hardest to injure my hip by falling on it so many times."Thank you Sharon!"The star posted a photo of himself alongside the text, which excluded his face, but displayed his now worse for wear body stretched out on the sofa with an ice-pack over his bottom.He inserted the word 'Cheeky!' over the top to preserve his modesty a little more, with a peach emoji alongside it.There's no denying that Dancing On Ice has been risky in the past.Due to his inexperience, Baz of the Happy Mondays was forced to teeter nervously with shin-pads, a helmet and a variety of other protective equipment to safely survive his first week on the show.Even host Phillip Schofield has admitted to the environment being perilous, previously commenting in the Sun: "I've watched a video of Bez on his second day fall over backwards so hard that his helmet flew off."Dancing On Ice is really dangerous.
