DENISE PULLS OUTEN
Denise Van Outen forced to pull out of Dancing on Ice after breaking her shoulder in three places
TV star Denise Van Outen was tonight forced to pull out of Dancing on Ice — as scans showed three breaks in her shoulder.
The host and West End performer, 46, told today how her partial dislocation has now been diagnosed as something more severe, forcing her from the show.

Insiders suggest her replacement is likely to be former Olympic gymnast Amy Tinkler, 21 — who they say might win it.
She has been training with pro partner Joe Johnson in case a contestant has to pull out due to Covid infection.
Denise posted: “I’ve tried as hard as I can to carry on. But a recent MRI has shown I have 3 bone fractures as well as a partial dislocation. No wonder I’ve been in agony.”
Skate partner Matt Evers, 44, told The Sun she wanted to carry on “for her daughter Betsy” but bosses said it was not safe.
The Sun told earlier this month how Denise fell in training, before battling her pain for the first show.

A spokesperson for Dancing On Ice said: “We adore Denise and Matt and we’re so very sad to see them leave the competition so soon.
“They are both much loved members of the Dancing On Ice family and we’d like to thank them for their hard work, from the moment they began training through to the joyful performances they brought to the show.
“We wish Denise all the very best as she now takes some time to make a full recovery.”
