Dancing On Ice’s Olympian gymnast Nile Wilson has stumbled on the ice just days before the live launch show.
The beloved skating-come-dancing show will catapult back onto our screens on Sunday night (January 15), but could it all be over for some contestants before it’s even started?
Well, Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson shared a video that left fans on the edge of their seats when he admitted he “stacked” his first attempt at skating out of the tunnel.

The 26-year-old five-time Commonwealth Games champion, who retired from competitive gymnastics two years ago, will be competing in this year’s Dancing On Ice.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, January 13, Nile shared a video clip of him seemingly rehearsing his big entrance out of the ice tunnel.
Skating out of the tunnel and into the centre of the rink, as he effortlessly glided, things looked a little off kilter for a second before he stumbled.
Luckily, Nile is ever the professional and very steady on his feet, which meant he was able to catch himself from falling.
Stumbling a little before steadying himself, Nile stood up quickly and could be seen laughing to himself with relief.
Sharing the short video clip on Instagram, Nile penned: “Obviously stacked my first attempt.”
The young sportsman, who has been retired for two years, runs a successful YouTube channel.
Nile often shares daily vlogs that relate to his gymnastics career, fitness and day-to-day goings on.
On his main channel he has a whopping 1.57 million subscribers, but Nile has a second channel also.
The other channel is shared with his dad Neil, and is entitled Neil and Nile Vlogs, which has 163,000 subscribers – despite them having not posted for around three years.
For the 15th series of Dancing On Ice, Nile is partnered with Olivia Smart – who is also an Olympian.
