Dancing on Ice star Connor Ball was once rushed to hospital with crippling panic attacks when his tour with McFly took a horror turn.The Scottish musician shot to fame as the singer and bassist in The Vamps, and he's been wowing fans with his ice skating skills on Dancing on Ice.Sadly on Sunday's show (February 21), he was sent to medics after he fell over during his performance and a skating "blade" ran into his leg.

However, he's also battled a number of mental health issues over the years, including anxiety and depression, which negatively impact his social life.Speaking to therapists Nik and Eva Speakman on ITV's This Morning, he revealed he suffers with issues such as generalised anxiety disorder.Connor said: "I suffer with generalised anxiety order, panic attacks and depression as well."In the band it has affected me because I don’t go to as many things as I would like to or should do.

I would like to be going out and seeing more people."His bandmate James added: "It is sad to think that some of the best times of my life were probably some of the worst times of Connor’s life."Connor was hit with horror panic attacks whilst him and his band were out on tour with McFly - and it ended in him having to be rushed to hospital.Connor said: "Even before we released Can We Dance we did a support gig with McFly, and I had to go into hospital because I was so anxious," before adding: "I didn't realise at the time that that's what anxiety even was."Describing the frightening ordeal, Connor said: "I couldn't breathe.

It was overwhelming, but over the years I got used to it."When therapists Nik and Eva asked him about his childhood, Connor said he grew fearful of touring after an allergic reaction to monkey nuts when he was.
