Dancing on Ice fans demand answers for 'undermarked' star after accident worry
They were seen among the first crop of celebrities performing for the first time during the opening episode
Dancing on Ice fans have demanded to know why Chelsee Healey was 'undermarked' for her first routine in the competition as it was revealed she lost consciousness after a painful accident during rehearsals.
The 36-year-old actress is among the stars taking part in the ITV skating show this year and was seen among the first crop of celebrities performing for the first time during the opening episode on Sunday night (January 12).
But it's been revealed she suffered a nasty fall shortly before making her debut on the programme with her professional partner Andy Buchanan explaining Chelsee passed out after taking a tumble in rehearsals. According to The Mirror, Andy told reporters: "We had one fall.
"She fell right on her tailbone, right on her coccyx. You know that shock that goes right through your body, and then she fainted. That was a bit of a scary one. She was out for a minute. I was like: ‘Look at me,’ and then there was no looking at me and then I put her down on the ice and you know just checked on her.
"Coming back after that, I have a lot of respect for that." Chelsee added: "I remember Andy waking me up and going: ‘Chelsee, Chelsee,’ and he picked me up and dragged me off the ice. I was all dizzy, and then I just went. My confidence was on the floor so Andy just spent all the session building my confidence up."
The Hollyoaks star went on to put on an impressive performance during week one of the 2025 series as she channelled her inner Beyonce. Despite her and Andy's best efforts, the pair ended up at the bottom of the leaderboard with a score of 22 out of a possible 40 - and fans weren't happy.
