A message on the official Dancing On Ice Instagram page said on Sunday: “Josh Jones sustained an injury during rehearsals and has had to withdraw from Dancing on Ice.
Dancing On Ice bosses said Jones and Packard’s “partnership will be greatly missed” and wished him a “speedy recovery”.
Dancing on Ice has lost one of its contestants just hours before its live show.
His first skate on Dancing On Ice was a dramatic and goofy performance to the Scissor Sisters hit “I Don’t Feel Like Dancing”.
