Dancing In Ice star didn't let life-threatening injuries that almost cost both her and her husband their lives deter her from competing in inevitably "dangerous" dance routines for this year's Dancing On Ice 2022.The Paralympian star wears a prosthetic leg from the knee downwards after enduring a boating accident in her teenage years, while her wheelchair racing husband Brent Lakatos was left permanently paralysed during a game of ice hockey at the age of six.The fact that his injuries were incurred on ice - the same material she will be skating on to compete in the hugely popular ITV show Dancing On Ice - has done nothing to sway her judgment."Yes, skating is dangerous, but we do a lot of things in life that are dangerous,” she told The Mirror.“Like taking a plane.

We are constantly making assessments in our lives."If you live constantly thinking of the worst case scenario I guess you won’t live.”The 37-year-old is prepared to perfect an overhead lift on ice with her dance partner Andy Buchanan, in spite of it ending in an embarrassing tumble for the two of them during rehearsals last week - and she is determined that this week's routine will go to plan."The lift Andy and I did when I fell, for us, it was low risk, we could do it with no mistakes, but it was high stakes, it can go badly," she explained.Meanwhile, her husband has reacted to news of the Paralympic medal winner's mishaps with affection and faith in her ability to triumph."He did kind of roll his eyes and say, ‘Stefanie, you’re nuts’, but he kind of thought that anyway,” she laughed.“'But that’s also why I fell in love with you because you’re ridiculous and think you can do anything – good on you, go for it’."A blood clot formed on Brent's spine after his.
