News of Amber’s injury comes after Gogglebox star Stephen Lustig-Webb was forced to quit the show after breaking his ankle in a horror fall.
Stephen, 52, left the Channel 4 show after ten years with ambitions to pursue further TV opportunities and was soon signed to the ITV dance series.
But after a horrific training accident last month, he was rushed to the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, where doctors told him he had broken his left ankle and would be on crutches for at least the next three months.
The TV personality had to undergo surgery to have metal plates inserted into his ankle for extra support, but there is no hope that he will be able to get back on the ice.
Sources close to Stephen say he has “really enjoyed the new challenge” of getting to know judges Torvill and Dean as well as the other contestants and is “disappointed” to lose his place in the competition before the show has even started.
They said: “Stephen is devastated … he is absolutely devastated.” He loved the training, but while putting on his skates, he broke his ankle and was taken to the hospital.

“After two days and an operation to insert metal plates in his left ankle, doctors told him there was no chance of returning to training, so he had no choice but to withdraw from competition.”
A spokesperson for Dancing On Ice said: “Stephen Lustig-Webb has had to withdraw from the show due to an ankle injury sustained during training.”
“He is still an integral part of the Dancing On Ice family. We will support Stephen and wish him all the best in his recovery.”

Holly Willoughby (42) has yet to decide whether she will stay on top after announcing she will be taking a long break from television.
The TV star abruptly quit last week after 14 years when an alleged plot to kidnap and kill her came to light.
