‘She hit the ice hard’: Dancing On Ice star The Vivienne ‘suffers ANOTHER nasty fall during rehearsals putting final skate in jeopardy’
The Vivienne has reportedly suffered a nasty fall in rehearsals ahead of the live final on Sunday.
The Welsh drag queen, 30, had been practicing her final skate on Thursday morning, when she slipped and hit the ice, according to reports.
Even more unluckily, she allegedly fell on the same knee she injured during the semi-finals last week.
The Vivienne- real name James Lee Williams – was checked over by medics and advised to ‘rest and ice up’.
Speaking to The Sun, a source said: ‘Injuries are to be expected this far into the competition but Viv’s knee is turning into a bit of a nightmare.

‘Thursday’s rehearsal was going really well up until she lost her balance and her knee buckled while trying to perfect her routine. She hit the ice hard and landed like she did on last week’s show – going down on the same knee.
‘Luckily she is fine but has been told to rest and ice up to help relieve the swelling and pain. There is a really real fear that the injury will keep reoccurring meaning her final skates will be a lot harder.’
Her second fall comes after The Vivienne tripped on Sunday night’s episode, as viewers lamented it was ‘such a shame’ she made the mistake during her routine.
She performed to Paul McCartney’s song Live and Let Die from the 1973 James Bond film of the same name with the others stars who were all without their pro partners.
The routine got off to a good start until The Vivienne crashed to the ice as she attempted a jump, landing on her knees.
She quickly climbed back onto her feet to continue the routine and seemed in good spirits while talking about the mishap to show hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
The Vivienne said: ‘My knees are hurting a little bit but I’m fine. We’re dancing on ice. Things happen.’
Phillip then chimed in: ‘That’s live skating for you.’
Fans were quick to react to the moment on Twitter as one said: ‘Me and my family all went ‘aghhhh’ at the same time when The Vivienne fell! That was a shame! #DancingOnIce.’
Another wrote: ‘Whoops #DancingOnIce @dancingonice #thevivienne.’
Someone else said: ‘Felt for The Vivienne there… hope it doesn’t have too much of an affect on her tonight #DancingOnIce.’
A fourth wrote: ‘I feel very bad for the Vivienne I must admit, that wasn’t a nice fall #DancingOnIce.’
