The stunning skating professional, 65, looked gorgeous in a deep emerald green glittery frock, which was paired with a matching sling to support her injured arm.
Chatting to hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, Jayne revealed that she needed to have surgery but could still press the buttons – with her right hand – to deliver her scores while carrying out her judging duties.

She also revealed that the need for surgery came after a horror skating injury, which led to a damaged tendon in her arm.
Speaking on the show, she said: “Talking of things going wrong on the ice, I ruptured my bicep tendon so I need to have surgery.”
Adding: “I’ll be fine and I’ll be back on the ice soon,” leaving fans hopeful at a performance of the iconic Bolero routine soon.
Taking to Twitter, fans were quick to throw their support behind the beloved skating star.
