Dancing on Ice star Hannah Spearritt was left in tears due to an illness that almost made her quit the show. She revealed that she felt so unwell during training that she thought she might have to leave.
The former S Club 7 singer, who has been battling an auto-immune condition since 2013, had to miss at least two training sessions a week after a tooth infection caused a severe relapse. She was so sick during some rehearsals that she ended up crying.
Hannah, 42, joined the ITV show after withdrawing from an S Club 7 reunion following the tragic death of her ex-boyfriend Paul Cattermole in April. Despite the trauma, she's now feeling better and is excited to skate tonight. Hannah, who is partnered with Andy Buchanan, described Dancing On Ice as the 'perfect opportunity' after pulling out of the S Club 7 reunion and going through a tough time.
"I wanted to get back to something physical. As a mum, I don't get much chance to exercise and I felt it was what my body needed after everything I went through last year," she shared.
Talking to The Mirror, Hannah continued: "But three weeks into training, I lost half a tooth and though I didn't know it at the time it caused an infection. "Suddenly I was crying, ill, getting headaches, and I got illness after illness.
Norovirus, flu... All I wanted to do was train, but I was just too ill. I was completely stressed because the show team were ringing me, asking if I would be able to train tomorrow and I wanted to say yes, but didn't know how I'd feel." Sharing that it was 'out of her control', Hannah recalled being 'worried' she would have to pull out of the show, as partner Andy was left unsure whether she would return to the ice too.
