Dancing On Ice is set to be a couple down this weekend after one of the celebrity stars suffered a fall. ITV has confirmed that Kye Whyte will not be performing when the skating competition returns for week three on Sunday.

The Olympic BMX racer suffered a fall during rehearsals and will therefore miss Movie Week alongside professional partner Tippy Packard.

The pair were due to perform to The Matrix theme song.

Kye, who took home a silver medal in the Men's BMX racing at the Tokyo Olympics last year, has sustained a sprain to his knee and the Dancing on Ice medical professionals have advised he does not perform in this weekend's show.

The sportsman said: "It’s an unfortunate accident. I’ve trained and worked hard with Tippy to perform this weekend. For me, as an athlete, I’m used to stuff like this happening where you get injured and can’t compete. "I’m more sad for Tippy, she’s worked hard so not being able to skate is obviously upsetting.
