Joe won't be replaced on the show as Dancing On Ice has already used up all of its reserves for the first time in the show's history after a spate of injuries.

Instead the show will go ahead with just seven celebrity contestants left to fill the next six weeks of shows.

A source close to the show told The Sun: “They've been super strict with the protocols and following rules backstage.

“Everyone is tested all the time so it's just a case of sticking to the rules and making it through to the final week.
