Brendyn Hatfield, who has appeared on ITV’s Dancing On Ice for five series and is known for dating S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens, has undergone surgery after a difficult 18 months
A Dancing On Ice star has revealed that he was rushed to hospital.
Skater Brendyn Hatfield has opened up about his secret health scare that led to an emergency operation after he was left gasping for air.
The 39 year old ice pro, who has been on the show since 2019, took to social media explaining his sudden battle with severe asthma-like symptoms, despite never having asthma before.
He confessed: “It’s a big day tomorrow. Going in for a little bit of surgery. Everybody close to me knows what’s going on.”
The skating star detailed how asthma attacks began plaguing him a year and a half ago, landing him in A&E.. He said: “Never dealt with it my whole life. Like breathing, it’s been really hard.”
Doctors ran tests and found sinus issues and suggested surgery, but after a mix-up last October Brendyn faced a wait until December 2025 to be seen again.
Fed up, he declared: “I can’t live like this anymore,” revealing the surgery wasn’t major but the cost was hefty as the NHS couldn’t slot him in for another year, reports the Mirror.
Hatfield has been hit with a “clerical error” causing a delay, but he’s keeping his spirits up. He told followers: “I’m excited to get it done. Everything works out in the end and you just keep going, you know?”
The skater recently waved goodbye to Dancing On Ice before the 2025 series. Following his departure, ITV dropped the bombshell that the show would not be returning.
An ITV spokesperson declared: “Following another successful series earlier this year, Dancing On Ice will be rested in 2026 with no current plans for another series. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the cast and crew who have worked on the show since 2006, and over the previous 17 series, for all of their hard work both on and off the ice.”
Meanwhile, Brendyn’s love life is on a high as he’s currently dating Rachel Stevens, formerly of S Club 7 fame. The singer gushed over him as her “soulmate” in an adorable Instagram tribute for his 40th.
