"Dancing On Ice" won't be on telly this weekend after four celebrities dropped out and Jason Donovan injured his back. 

They've run out of "reserve" skaters for the first time in the history of the show.  Joe-Warren Plant from "Emmerdale" and his professional skating partner have both tested positive for Covid.  Rufus Hound has missed too much time on the ice after spending time containing his movements having come in close contact with a positive case and since then, testing positive for Covid himself. 

Billie Faiers is grieving after the death of her grandmother and Denise Van Outen can't continue after sustaining a fairly bad shoulder injury on the ice.

This weekend will be a "Best of" show and then the live show will return on February 28th.
