After weeks of hard work, early mornings and extensive training routines, the final of Dancing On Ice takes place this weekend, with Coronation Street's Brooke Vincent, rugby ace Max Evans and former X Factor star Jake Quickenden all hoping to be crowned the winner.

After performing superbly last week despite having whiplash, Jake has picked up another injury ahead of Sunday night's final.

The former I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here contestant has dislocated his thumb in training, and whilst it might not sound like a serious injury, it could cause Jake a struggle during lifts.

After receiving treatment on the rink, Jake was later taken to hospital where he was given a supportive bandage for his thumb.

With only three celebrities left, we asked Dancing On Ice professionals Matt Evers and Brandee Malto who they think will win the current series. Hear what they had to say below:

Jake's latest injury comes after he suffered slight whiplash last week after he was involved in a minor car crash on the way to training.

Jake and his fellow Dancing On Ice co-star Kem Cetinay were forced to abandon their cars and walk to the training rink.

Giving more information about the accident, Kem took to his Instagram Story to explain what had happened.

He said, "We've had an absolute nightmare this morning, me and Jake were driving to skating in two separate cars down the lanes. Jake's car has spun out, smashed into two cars and I've lost control and did a 360 turn and landed in a bush." sic

Despite both boys still giving excellent performances in Sunday night's show, it was Love Island 2017 winner Kem who lost his place in the competition.

Kem found himself in the skate-off against rugby star Max Evans and his professional partner Ale Izquierdo.

After performing their routines for the judges again, Jason Gardiner, Ashley Banjo, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean all decided to keep Max, meaning Kem was sent home.

Despite Kem's departure, Sunday night's final is set to be an incredible show!

As well as Jake, Brooke and Max battling it out to be crowned the winner, skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are set to perform live.

Although it hasn't yet been revealed what they will be performing to, rumour has it they could recreate their infamous 'Boléro' routine.

The Dancing On Ice final takes place on Sunday night on ITV.
