After the news that former Westlife singer Brian McFadden may have to pull out of this year's Dancing On Ice due to an ongoing back problem, it's now being reported that Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan's future on the show could be in jeopardy too.

James, who is one of the favourites to win the show alongside Love Island's Wes Nelson and Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton, has suffered a painful injury to his hip in rehearsals.

Revealing he has arthritis in the hip he fell on, James wrote in his Best magazine column, "I fell practising a jump the other day and landed on my hip. Given I have arthritis there, it wasn't ideal. It hurt - a lot."

However, it sounds like the dancer is still prepared to carry on, adding, "I'm getting daily physio and trying to man up. I will get there."

Meanwhile, fans of the show are waiting to see whether Brian McFadden will perform this weekend, after it was revealed he's being monitored by the show's physio.

Emmerdale actress Gaynor Faye won the first ever series of Dancing On Ice alongside her professional ice skating partner Daniel Whiston, under the watchful eye of judges Robin Cousins, Karen Barber, Nicky Slater, Jason Gardiner and Karen Kresge.

The singer has kept it no secret that he's been struggling with injuries throughout the series, with Brian dislocating his shoulder during rehearsals last month, meaning he's been in and out of the physio room.

Despite this, the 38-year-old is hoping he will be able to perform on Sunday night, with a spokesperson for the show saying, "Brian has a bad back and is currently being monitored by our show physio."

The famous show, which is hosted by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, has dealt it's fair share of injuries so far this year.

As well as Brian and James, Melody Thorton injured her chin, Wes Nelson injured his knee, Gemma Collins had THAT fall, and Coronation Street actress Jane Danson fainted before her performance last week.

Despite this, the show continues every Sunday night at 6pm.
