CORONATION Street star Mollie Gallagher was left looking terrified after practising a dangerous skating move.
The soap actress, who plays Nina Lucas in the ITV show, was seen lying on the floor after trying out the infamous ‘headbanger’ in training today.
Mollie, 25, who is partnered up with professional skater Sylvain Longchambon this series, looked to be trying out the scary stunt ahead of her skate this weekend.
The TV star – who wowed the judges with her performance to a Lizzo track over the weekend – was asked by judge Christopher Dean to try out the move.
It has long been feared by show contestants, and for good reason, after David Seaman dropped his pro-partner Pam O’Connor in 2006.
However, it didn’t stop Mollie and Sylvain, 42, from trying out the headbanger ahead of their new routine.
Mollie was seen looking terrified as she tried it out for the first time, before lying on her back on the ice to recover as she was left flat out.
Exclusive images reveal Mollie looking scared after performing the daredevil move, narrowly missing hitting the floor and a horror accident.
She looked terrified as she shut her eyes tight while Sylvain swung her round in the air, just centimetres from the ice.
The actress donned a large black helmet as she was swung around by her feet to prevent any nasty injuries as her head came close to the floor.
She was seen lying still on her back in her oversized hoodie and leggings as she took a break from practice following the move.
Finally getting back up, Mollie looked in shock as she placed her hands on her head during the practice.
It comes after skating judge Christopher encouraged Mollie to try out the move – as the first celeb to try it this season.
Speaking to Betway, Sylvain revealed they were “no pressure” to do it, but they felt “challenged” to give it a go.
“There’s not a pressure to perform it, but I know every year they like to have at least one or many couples doing it.
“I remember when I did the series with my wife, Samia, we did it in week three or four. We’re not pressured, but we’re challenged.
“Mollie wanted to do the headbanger from week two, so I think she’s quite happy with the challenge.
“There’s no pressure and she really wants to do it. It’s interesting that Chris asked us to do it first, so it should be fun.”
Dancing On Ice continues on Sunday at 6:30pm on ITV
