Stephen Lustig-Webb, former Gogglebox star and Dancing On Ice contestant, has finally spoken out about his unfortunate exit from the ITV show due to a severe injury. The telly favourite was all set to join the 2024 series of the popular ITV skating competition but had to bow out after suffering a nasty ankle break during training. The 52 year old, who left Gogglebox after ten years with dreams of exploring new TV opportunities, saw his hopes of competing on the ice come to a sudden halt.
His participation in Dancing on Ice was announced shortly after he left Gogglebox, but sadly, his stint was cut short. A spokesperson for Dancing On Ice shared over the weekend: "Stephen Lustig-Webb has had to withdraw from the show due an injury he sustained to his ankle during training. He is still very much a part of the Dancing On Ice family, we will be helping to support Stephen and we wish him well with his recovery." Stephen has now opened up about his injury and revealed that he had to have surgery.
He posted a picture of himself resting his leg in a cast while snuggling with his three cute pups on a sofa. The TV star said: "Thank you for all of your kind words and messages. On Wednesday last week during my training session for Dancing on Ice I fell and broke my left ankle." "I've had surgery and will be on crutches for a few months meaning, I've had to leave the competition which I'm absolutely gutted about.
I was having so much fun and enjoying learning to skate. I will of course be keeping a close eye on all of the other celebs and pros and supporting them all the way. Unfortunately, I will also have to pull out of the London Marathon.
