Ferne McCann reveals brutal Dancing On Ice injury that left her in tears during gruelling rehearsals
FERNE McCann has revealed tears were rolling down her face after a bad fall during Dancing On Ice training.
The Towie star revealed the painful reality of her training after The Sun revealed she had signed up earlier this year.
She said a brutal fall left her in tears on the ice – on her first day.
The reality star explained that she took a hard tumble minutes after stepping into her skates.
She said: “I fell on my first day, the bruise is gone now, but they were like, ‘that’s great, get the fall out.’”
However, the fall has only added to her fears about the challenge ahead.
She added: “I think that’s made me more scared. I know how hard it is!”
“I haven’t fallen like that since a kid, the tears were rolling down my face.”
The reality TV star will appear on Dancing On Ice 2025, but fans of Ferne will no longer see her on ITV’s First Time Mum after she revealed the heart breaking reason why she quit.
Ferne quit her First Time Mum reality TV show after seven years.
Opening up about why she came to the decision, Ferne told GMB that her six-year-old daughter had asked her if she “was famous”, and this troubled her.
“I know it sounds really contradictory, because we’ve had the reality show, and it’s all Sunday’s ever known, it’s actually…. normal for her to film the show, and it really just stopped me in my tracks, and it made me feel really uncomfortable.”
Ferne added that she made “the decision to be famous”, but her child didn’t and thought it best to take a break so she “does not have to come home from school and film”
Her eldest daughter, named Sunday, is the child of acid attack convict Arthur Collins.
Ferne revealed on March 6, 2023, that she was pregnant with her second child with fiancée Lorri Haynes.
Ferne participated in the 15th series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, appearing as one of the late arrivals and ultimately finishing in third place — after controversially swallowing a live spider.
In January 2016, she joined ITV’s This Morning as a showbiz reporter.
In 2022, she took part in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, where she nearly killed fellow contestant Calum Best, and both went on to pass the course.
