Dancing On Ice contestant Brendan Cole had a near-miss slip on the rink on Friday (March 25), just days before the grand finale.
The former Strictly Come Dancing pro spoke to Lorraine regular and eliminated Dancing On Ice contestant Ria Hebden alongside fellow finalists Kimberly Wyatt and Regan Gascoigne.
As the three finalists shared their excitement for the final though, Brendan had a bit of a stumble and slipped before managing to steady himself.
Viewers have come to love Brendan’s dry sense of humour, and he played up to his near-miss slip by slowly lowering himself to his knees in a rather dramatic way.

Kimberly laughed as she grabbed his arm to try and help keep him steady, but pro Brendan was clearly very stable on the rink.
Ria, who was the second contestant to be eliminated, asked the trio how they were feeling ahead of the finale on Sunday (March 27).
Brendan said: “It’s been a very exciting couple of weeks. I think we’re chuffed to make the final. Now that we’re here, we’re enjoying it.”

Pussycat Dolls beauty Kimberly said: “It’s just been amazing. Leading up to the final you look back at all the skates you’ve done.
“I think we have a chance to put on the best final there has ever been.”
Ria asked Regan what he’d learned about himself while taking part in the show, with Paul Gascoigne’s son saying: “Patience, confidence in yourself that you’ve got it, and just to enjoy every second of it.”

The television presenter asked Brendan the same question, and he told her: “I love working.
“I love being on the ice. It’s been a year and a half of doing very, very little in terms of entertainment.
“Being on the stage, we’ve all pushed each other.”
He went on: “It’s not competitive, it’s more, ‘Wow, they look good.’ It’s this feeling of needing to put on a show.”
Ria reunited with her fellow former contestants earlier in the week as they will be returning to the rink on Sunday night.
Faces such as Bez, Libery Poole and Sally Dynevor will be putting their skates back on for the final show of the 2022 series.
Last year, Capital FM presenter Sonny Jay was crowned the winner after a series that was hit by countless setbacks.
Denise Van Outen, Rufus Hound, Billie Shepherd, Joe-Warren Plant and Jason Donovan all had to withdraw from the competition for reasons including illness, Covid and bereavements.
Catch the Dancing On Ice finale at 7pm on ITV on Sunday.
Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV.
