DANCING On Ice’s Faye Brookes left fans scratching their heads after posting a cryptic comment on Instagram.
The 33-year-old former Coronation Street star has been given a new dance partner by the show after Hamish Gaman was injured.
The swap has sparked something of a mystery as Hamish insisted doctors had cleared him to perform with his injury hours before he was axed.
Faye, who will now skate with Matt Evers, said she was “starting again” in an Instagram post.
Posting this afternoon she wrote: “Round Two. No matter what… Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start again Here we go! 
.”
Faye has made no secret of the fact she’s devastated that Hamish, who she called her “brother”, lost his place in the competition.
She wrote: “Truly heartbroken with the news that @hamishgaman has had to withdraw from @dancingonice.
“This guy has been there for me from the very beginning. Taught me everything I know and I hope I did you proud brother… It has been an honour.
“We both can’t thank the viewers at home enough for your constant support and for voting for Team #Faymish.
“Last but not least I have to Thank you Mr Gaman for supporting me no matter what! Here’s to a friendship that will go beyond the ice. Here for you always.”
ITV confirmed the news yesterday, after the skater revealed he had performed with Faye on Sunday with the injury – and the pair had changed the routine at the last minute.
Dancing On Ice has been beset with injuries this series, with Denise Van Outen the first to leave the show after fracturing her shoulder in training.
Rufus Hound then got the chop after testing positive for coronavirus.
Billie Faiers left after suffering a concussion following an accident, and Joe-Warren Plant also quit the show following a Covid test – although he and Vanessa Bauer will be allowed to return if they test negative.
Jason Donovan skipped last weekend’s show due to a back injury, and Rebekah Vardy and Lady Leshurr are also fighting injuries.
