Darren said: "My biggest fear, I don’t really have it anymore, all my fears are now sort of gone, because I’ve fallen on the ice countless times, I’ve got whiplash, yesterday I sliced my arm open with my partners blade, they had to glue my forearm together.
"What other fears are there! Maybe I fall through the ice? That’s all that’s left.
"Whiplash, there’s a bit of bone sticking out here..."
He added: "I’m telling you this show is wild dude, you’ve got to watch the show on Sunday."

Darren also spoke about his co-star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu's performance over the weekend, which landed her in the bottom two.
The Love Island star gave a bold performance wearing a all-in-one jewelled bodysuit to Britney Spears' Toxic.
At one point she crawled a long the ice - and viewers made a comparison to when she did it in the iconic villa.
He confessed: "Listen, I said to Ekin-Su, "make sure you really go for the crawl.”
Darren added: "And she gave it everything I loved it."
It comes after the star revealed he suffered a nasty injury just days before his first live performance.
The comedian posted a picture of a gory gash on his arm on Instagram after visiting the show medic.
Darren, who is partnered with skating pro Tippy Packard, wrote: "Blade sliced my arm open during a lift...we think, we don't even know how it happened I didn't feel it..we just saw the blood lol."
But it isn't enough to keep Darren off the ice, with him adding: "Still all good for Sunday!".
