Injured Shaw may slide off show
Suzanne Shaw and Matt Evers
Rehearsals for Shaw have been plagued with injuries this week
Ex-Hear'Say star Suzanne Shaw may be forced to drop out of ITV's Dancing on Ice show after chipping a bone in her ankle during rehearsals.

Shaw, who earlier this week injured her skating partner Matt Evers after hitting him in the face with her skate, will undergo intensive physiotherapy.

ITV said: "Suzanne will only take to the ice if the physio gives her the go-ahead before the show."

Last week the singer topped the scoreboard with a 27.5 score.

Shaw, who originally hurt her ankle a few weeks ago when she was trampolining in practice for an unassisted jump, collapsed in pain after the recent injury.

The singer has also cracked a rib during the show, though this failed to stop her from skating.

An ITV spokeswoman said: "She absolutely does want to perform.

"We have a responsibility to ensure that all the celebrities are fit to perform."

Last week, Hollyoaks actor and favourite to win the show Chris Fountain, racked up 27 points after his routine to Ain't No Sunshine impressed judges.

Emmerdale star and former page three model Linda Lusardi became the latest celebrity to be voted off the ice.
