Taking the expert advice of the Dancing on Ice medical team, she sadly cannot perform this weekend and will therefore now withdraw from the competition.

This years Dancing on Ice contestants are dropping like flies. Last week comedian Rufus Hound had to leave the show after he missed a week due to being a close contact of a confirmed Covid case, and pulled out of the show entirely when he himself tested positive.
Denise Van Outen also pulled out of the show when she suffered a shoulder injury.
Reserves Amy Tinkler, 21, and comedian Matt Richardson, 29, have stepped in to replace them. No word on whether producers have a third reserve to replace Billie.
Before the news of Billies exit was announced, presenter Phillip Schofield confirmed it was the first time in the shows history that both reserves had been called to action: I asked my team and we realised that this is the first time ever weve used both of our reserves.
