The former Westlife singer is partnered with professional skater Alex Murphy, who opened up on the incident.

Alex went on to note she has been very impressed with Brian’s dedication. “He has come on drastically from when he first started and could hardly stand on the ice,” she said. “He’s also lost weight from all the training, but he doesn’t think so because he still eats burgers.” It comes after Gemma Collins worried fans last week when she also suffered a “massive fall” in rehearsals.
