Heidi Range has admitted that she was devastated by the possibility of having to quit Dancing on Ice over an early injury.
Prior to the launch of the show the Sugababes singer was told she may have a broken wrist after an awkward fall.
She told the Daily Mirror: "They took me straight to hospital, where I was sobbing as they told me they thought it was broken.
"I was distraught at the thought of having to quit the show, but luckily it wasn't broken.
"The bone had just come out of the joint. The physio is like a magician and she managed to twist it in a funny way and shove it back in."
Heidi added: "It's become so frequent I've got used to being in pain.
"I'm almost expecting to be carrying an ice pack, heat pack, stitches - I've stopped being shocked... I'm at the stage where as long as the bones aren't broken I'm fine with it."
Range's original partner Sylvain Longchambon suffered a bicep injury, in their last training session before Christmas.
She said: "We'd just started skating and out of nowhere he ruptured his bicep, right at the beginning of the routine.
"That's when I met [new partner] Andrei Lipanov. We only had about six days of training before the first show so I did worry we would struggle.
"I was upset. You get really close to your partner and spend and lot of time together building up trust. So to then be lifted up into the air by someone different is terrifying."
