Connor Ball: Dancing on Ice star left bleeding after taking a nasty tumble
Dancing on Ice star Connor Ball took a nasty tumble as he performed during props week on Sunday evening.
The Vamps star was tasked with using a mop in his latest routine with professional skater Alexandra Schauman, but sadly it didn’t quite go to plan.
Towards the end of the routine, Connor attempted a jump but ended up taking a tumble – which left him bleeding.
Of course, the blunder didn’t go unnoticed and the judges even admitted they would have given him a higher score if he hadn’t fallen over.
However, Connor still managed to bag a total score of 34 – but he did let hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield know that he was bleeding.
“We are gutted for you,” Phillip told him, before adding: “But first of all, are you okay?”
“I don’t wanna look what’s going on under here right now,” Connor admitted as Alexandra confirmed: “It is bleeding!”
“The blade went into my leg so I dunno if something’s cut open,” Connor then said as he tried to get his breath back.

Judge Ashley Banjo sympathised with him and said: “Firstly I really do hope you’re alright, because for anyone who wonders if Dancing on Ice is dangerous – there you go!”
Dancing on Ice viewers were gutted for Connor and took to Twitter to comment.
One person said: “#DancingOnIce. My heart breaks for @TheVampsCon. Falling for a second week in a row that fall looked so nasty.
“However this is what I love about Connor. He’s a trooper. He falls over gets back up and carries he doesn’t give up which I love. What a performer,” they added.
A second viewer tweeted: “I feel so bad for connor he’s having no luck on this show is he :// bless him #dancingonice.”
A third person posted: “Connor gets my vote tonight for his sheer bad luck with the fall. Loved his routine #dancingonice.”
