DANCING On Ice has returned to our screens for its 2022 series.

Every week a celebrity skater is voted off the show, but some also leave after sustaining an injury on the ice.

Who has left Dancing on Ice?

Although no one has left the show for good, TWO celebrities have been forced to pull out of this weekend's show (January 23, 2022).

Both have suffered injury, but one also has covid.

Rachel Stevens

Rachel Stevens has dropped out of the show for one week after fracturing her wrist.

The 43-year-old was due to skate alongside Brendyn Hatfield but has been forced to pull out after falling on the ice during training and sustaining the injury.

A Dancing On Ice rep said: "Due to an injury sustained in training and on the expert advice from the Dancing on Ice medical professionals, Rachel Stevens will not skate in this Sunday's show. We look forward to her returning to the show next weekend."

Rachel will now skate for the first time in the competition in Week 3 on Sunday January 30, 2022.

Bez

It comes after it was revealed that Bez has also been forced to miss this weekend's show (January 23, 2022) after testing positive for Covid.

The Happy Monday's star is the first celebrity to wear a helmet on the ice after taking a tumble during rehearsals.

Over the years there has been a number of serious injuries on the show, with a few celebrities sustaining lasting issues.

When is the first Dancing on Ice elimination?

This first round of elimination takes place this weekend (January 23, 2022).

Six celebrities have already take part in the first show of the series and the next episode sees the remaining six will perform.

The couple at the bottom of the leaderboard from the first week then competes against the couple at the bottom of the leaderboard in the second week.

The bottom couple with the lowest combined points from episode one will face the bottom couple from episode two in a skate-off. 

After the skate-off, the judges decide which one of the two contestants will be eliminated.

Scores and votes are combined to form the final leaderboard for that week's show and the two/three couples at the bottom compete in a final showdown known as the "Skate-Off".

Here they perform a different routine known as the Save-Me Skate.
