Dancing on Ice star Faye Brookes took an unfortunate stumble during her first routine with new partner Matt Evers on Sunday evening.
The former Coronation Street actress was originally paired with professional skater Hamish Gaman, who was sadly forced to pull out of the competition after sustaining an injury.
Hamish snapped a tendon in his finger at the start of February while at home.
Faye, 33, has since been partnered with Matt Evers, who was previously skating with Denise Van Outen before she left the show due to a shoulder injury.
Matt and Faye took to the ice together for the first time this evening and performed live for the nation.

Viewers rushed to their keyboards as they spotted Faye’s wobble on the ice.
Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: “Faye and Matt deserved higher, if only that tiny stumble after the spin didn’t happen.”

The pair scored 34.5 out of a possible 40 and found themselves in the middle of the leader board.
Discussing their new partnership, Matt said: “We’ve only had about 11 hours of rehearsals.
