Greg’s hopes of competing in the final have been dashed after he suffered a ‘significant’ injury on the morning of rehearsals.
His professional partner Vanessa James announced the news in an Instagram post on Sunday, sharing: ‘Unfortunately, Greg suffered a significant injury during rehearsals this morning and will not be able to perform tonight.
“We’re on our way to the hospital where Greg will be further examined and receive the treatment he needs.”
An ITV spokesperson added in a statement to MailOnline: ‘Unfortunately Olympian Greg Rutherford MBE has had to withdraw from Dancing On Ice after sustaining an injury during rehearsals for the final episode of the current series.
‘Greg and Vanessa have been such a popular couple on this series and have performed some truly memorable routines.
‘We will help support Greg and wish him the best of luck with his recovery. We would also like to thank him for being such a valued member of the Dancing on Ice family.”
