CHRIS Taylor’s Dancing on Ice future has been revealed after his pro partner Vanessa Bauer was forced to quit the show over a nasty injury.

Vanessa took to her Instagram on Sunday to announce the sad news that she would be withdrawing from this year’s series after sustaining an injury before last Sunday’s live show.

The news came just hours before tonight’s live show is due to go ahead, and many Dancing on Ice fans will have been left wondering what that meant for Vanessa’s celeb partner, Love Island’s Chris Taylor.

Vanessa revealed in her video message that she had been training with Chris all week and skating through the pain she felt, not realising the seriousness of her injury.

It wasn’t until she went for an MRI that she learned she had “a completely torn ligament, grade three sprain injury and a major grade two sprain injury.”

She explained: “My pain threshold, I don’t trust it, I have been skating this whole week with a lot of pain but I just didn’t realise that it was such a significant injury so I didn’t voice my pain.

“I don’t want this injury that is already bad to get even worse and so the one sensible decision is to step away, do rehab, focus on my health – I guess mental health as well – because it’s really bad that I have to leave.”

But ITV confirmed to The Sun Online that Chris, 34, will remain in the competition with a new pro partner.

He has been paired up with Robin Johnstone and the duo will still skate in tonight’s live show.

Chris paid tribute to Vanessa on his Instagram Stories following her announcement.

Chris shared her video on his Instagram Stories and added: “While I’m here, let me tell you something about this woman.

“She is hands down the most committed, determined and inspirational woman I have ever met.

“She gives everything 2000% and it’s been an honour to be taught by her.

“Very, very sad we don’t get to finish this together, but you’ve got an annoying brother for life now.”

The latest series of Dancing on Ice has been plagued with injuries already.

Dame Sarah Storey was forced to withdraw weeks before the first live show after fracturing her ankle in training.

Then comedian Josh Jones sustained an injury in training after his first week skate and was also forced to exit the ITV competition.

HEARTBREAKING tributes have been paid to a “bright” and “loving son” who tragically passed away after a horror ski resort accident.

Aidan Bergin, based in Waterford, tragically passed away this week from serious injuries he sustained after plunging from a height of 1,900 feet while taking a picture of the scenery at a mountain ski resort in Bulgaria.

Ivailo Lefterov of the Bulgarian Red Cross Mountain Rescue Service told local news sites that the man fell down a gully on the side of Tordoka Peak.

An air ambulance was requested for rescue but it could not reach the Irishman and his recovery was part of an hour-long effort by the Mountain Rescue Service of the Bulgarian Red Cross.

The 29-year-old was rushed to a hospital in the nearby town of Razlog with “multiple traumas” following his recovery from the mountain.

It is understood that Aidan was part of a group taking pictures of the surrounding scenery when he lost his balance and fell.

The full assessment of his injuries was carried out at the hospital and treatment was provided, but he sadly passed away on Wednesday, January 29.

A heartbreaking notice described the young man as a “gentle soul” who is “deeply missed by Niall, his parents Joe and Máire, brothers Patrick and Eoghan, sister Niamh and her fiancé David, aunts, uncles, cousins and his many many friends both at home and abroad.”

They added: “Aidan, taken so suddenly from us, will live in our hearts for ever.”

The funeral arrangements will be released later on the death notice page.

The family wishes to have no flowers but has encouraged people to donate to the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust instead.

‘NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE HEARTBREAK’

Since the news of the tragic passing of Aidan, tributes have started to flood the condolences page, with one old classmate saying how he “will be always be remembered for his bright smile and caring nature”.

A mourner wrote: “Maire, Joe, Niall, Patrick, Niamh and Eoghan, there are no words to describe the heartbreak I am feeling for you all.

“Aidan was a kind, clever and fun soul even as a young child and it has always been evident that your family unit is full of love, strength and friendships.

“I hope this helps on the darkest of days. You are all in my thoughts and I will always remember Aidan with fond memories.”

A close friend added: “I am so desperately sorry to hear of Aidan’s far-too-untimely passing.. He was such a lovely person and I am glad to have known him..

“My deepest sympathies to Niall, and all the family. Ceol síorraí i measc na Naomh go raibh aige.”

‘KIND SOUL’

Another said: “Aidan was a credit to you all and lived life to the fullest albeit too short. As a child Aidan was a bright, clever and kind soul and it’s always been very evident that your family unit is one of love and friendship.

“I hope this gets you through the dark days. You are all in my thoughts and I will always remember Aidan with fond memories xxx.”

A mourner said: “I’m so sad for the awful loss of your beautiful and loving son and friend,Aidan. Thinking and praying for you at this desperately sad time.

“May he rest in peace. I am so sorry that you have to go through this very difficult time.”

A LOVE Island star has been involved in a terrifying collision with a double decker bus.

Shaughna Phillips has revealed how she was travelling with her one-year-old daughter when her car crashed into a London bus.

In an Instagram post, the mum said: “Was involved in a minor crash last night with a bus.

“Could have been so much worse, and with Lucia in the car which was the scariest part!

“A bit sore today but I’ll take that any day. Always wear your seatbelts.”

The 30-year-old TV personality appeared in season six of the revived show.

Entering the villa on day one, she was dumped from the island on day 33.

It comes nearly a year after the reality star witnessed a fatal accident.

She wrote on social media: “Have just seen that a man in his 30’s died at the scene of that crash. Have not stopped thinking about it all day, tomorrow really is not promised.”

“Sending so much love to the poor family and anyone who witnessed that this morning.”

THE humiliated former wife of shamed Rugby League star Joe Westerman has found love with a new man.

The England international, 34, was caught on camera performing a sex act behind a Greggs bakery – before being dumped by ex Lauren Boyd, also 34.

Westerman was also axed from Castleford Tigers’ line-up.

But Lauren has now rebuilt her life after the public betrayal, with the raunchy footage – believed to also involve a pal of hers – having gone viral in early 2023.

She is currently dating trucker Karl Holmes, who also plays rugby, reports MailOnline.

The HGV recovery driver has described his girlfriend as his “rock” in Facebook posts.

It comes after Westerman was revealed last month to have got engaged to lover estate agent Alison Hopkins after they began dating in late 2023.

Lauren and Karl went public with their romance in August 2023.

Commenting on a photo, Karl’s sister Dawn said: “A better year for you too Lauren Boyd as you have gone through hell as well…. fate has brought you together. So glad you found each other.”

SEX VIDEO

Lauren was forced to furiously defend herself and deny she was the woman in the sex act clip at the time it emerged.

And, she hit back against trolls who said her 15-year-old daughter would have “seen much worse” than the X-rated clip.

The distraught mum-of-three fumed: “I don’t even have words to reply to your comment apart from I’m worried at what things you watch if you think there are worse things than this for a child to see on social media of her dad.”

In a statement she penned: “Can I make this VERY clear that this is NOT me.

“We have three children one of whom is almost 15 and she doesn’t need to see things like this all over social media!”

She previously told The Sun she had been sent the video before it was posted online.

“Truth is, he only told me because it was on social media,” she said.

“But I’m glad it was found because the thought of kissing him after that just makes me feel sick.”

The disgusted mum said: “I’ve relived that footage over and over again.

“It’s something I’ll never be able to get out of my mind, no matter how hard I try.”

But Westerman grovelled and sent text messages begging for his wife back: “Words will never ever explain how sorry I am.

“I can’t explain what happened cos I physically can’t remember.

“It’s disgusting and I now have to live with it forever.

“Losing you and the kids is heartbreaking Lauren, you deserve so much better.”

Another message read: “You always said alcohol would f*** me up.”

More followed, including: “I need you to know I can’t remember anything about that night. I look like a zombie.”

Westerman was also forced to issue a statement after his bombshell affair was exposed.

The 6ft 4ins Yorkshireman wrote an apology to family, friends, the club and to rugby league for his behaviour following a 15-hour booze fuelled bender.

It read: “Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly apologise to my family and friends for my actions.

“I’d also like to apologise to the supporters, sponsors, staff, and directors of Castleford Tigers as well as my teammates.

“I’d like to extend this apology to the game of rugby league, and I have realised that I need to work on my decision-making around alcohol.”

Westerman, who made his breakthrough in 2007 with Castleford, spent spells with Hull, Warrington, Toronto and Wakefield before returning to his first club in 2022.
