Michelle Heaton hobbles on crutches after injuring herself during Dancing On Ice training

Michelle Heaton has shared a snap of herself hobbling around on crutches after sustaining an injury during Dancing On Ice training.

The Liberty X star, 43, took to Instagram on Friday to reveal she fell while practicing on the ice with skate partner Lukasz Rozycki, after her son AJ, eight, had come along to watch rehearsals.

However, Michelle implied that the injury to her knee wasn’t too serious as she remarked in the caption that it was ‘Gonna take a hell of a lot more than this to keep me off the ice!’

The image shared to social media saw Michelle looking cosy in a grey Calvin Klein sweater, grey bobble hat and black leggings, with one leg pulled up over her injured limp.

The singer also shared another image of AJ and Lukasz beaming for a snap with Michelle’s knee seen at the front, captioning the snap: ‘Sore knee.’ 

Captioning her post, she penned: ‘If @torvillanddeanofficial bring in an element #toepickfall I think I have it covered.

Before the injury: Ahead of her tumble, Michelle was raring to go as she arrived for early morning skate rehearsals

An insider told The Sun that her motivation for taking part is her two children Faith, ten, and AJ, eight.

They said: ‘She wants to push herself and make her children proud of her. She is raring to go and cannot wait to get out onto the ice.’

Michelle is already working on another major reality show as it was revealed last month that she is currently filming for the fifth series of Celebrity SAS.

The hit Channel 4 show sees celebrities sign up for a condensed version of the hazardous training course utilised by the United Kingdom Special Forces.

Michelle will star alongside TOWIE’s James Argent and former health secretary Matt Hancock in the upcoming series.
