Kem Cetinay’s dance is in jeopardy after his dance partner Alex injured her ankle.
The professional dancer has said she thinks there’s only a 50/50 chance she’ll be alright to perform tonight, leaving Kem’s Sunday night show in the balance.
However, it could be good news for the pair as while there is a stand in dancer available, he could just be sent straight through to next week.
The two were rehearsing on Friday when the accident happened.
A source told the Daily Star: ‘This is a nightmare for Kem and Alex. They’d worked really hard on their routine for this week’s show but now everything is hanging in the balance. It’s 50/50 whether she’ll be able to perform.’
Producers reportedly have a ‘reserve skater’ lined up to work with Kem, but they are also ‘considering fast-tracking the pair to next week’s show’ and letting them bypass tonight’s performance completely, but they will not make a definite decision until just a few hours before the programme airs live on ITV.
News of Alex’s injury comes just a few days after it was reported a number of stars on the show had been hit by a virus.

Kem, Donna Air and Lemar were all said to have been facing a ‘race against time’ to be fit enough for this weekend.
A source said earlier this week: ‘It’s a race against time to get fit again ahead of this weekend’s show.
‘Not a day goes by when there isn’t someone else being laid low. It has never happened this bad on the show, especially as it happened at the start of the show too.’
