Kem Cetinay suffered a "scary" fall during training for ‘Dancing On Ice’ when he hit his head on the ice.
The ‘Love Island’ winner is set to take part in the rebooted ITV celebrity skating competition when it returns to screens next year, but his training hasn’t been going as smoothly as he would’ve liked, as he admits he’s had "quite a few falls", including one which left him needing to be "checked" by medical professionals.
He said: "I have had quite a few falls in training – I fell on the ice and cracked my head which was pretty scary but luckily I was checked and all OK."
The 21-year-old hunk also admits he was "really down" during his first month of training for the show as he didn’t feel he was progressing as quickly as the other celebrities, but now that he’s finally had the "training penguin" taken away from him, he’s feeling more confident.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he said: "I was really down the first month because I was so behind everyone else.
"My trainer said I was the least natural out of everyone on the show this year. All the other contestants have been coming down and watching me and saying they are better than me, too.
"But in the last week, I feel I have turned a corner because I have had the training penguin taken away from me and put in the staff room."
It comes after Kem – who won ITV2 reality show ‘Love Island’ earlier this year with his girlfriend Amber Davies – admitted he was throwing "tantrums" during training because he finds the process "too hard".
He said previously: "I’m the most unflexible, uncoordinated person ever.
"The physio asked, ‘How high can you kick your leg?’ and I was like, ‘This is it’.
"And the skates hurt my feet as well.
"I keep throwing tantrums too. I’ll be 10 minutes in and just be like, ‘This is too hard, I can’t do it anymore.’"
