Dancing On Ice in chaos over fears it will be forced to cut series short as fans call on axed stars to be brought back
DANCING On Ice bosses could be forced to cut this series short - unless axed stars are brought back.
The Sun tonight revealed Jason Donovan was the seventh star to pull out of the dangerous reality show.
There are five more shows yet to air - with only five remaining celebrities in the competition.
It's now impossible for three stars to compete in the final.
It could mean producers will have to end the series early after running out of replacements.
But fans are hopeful that actor Joe-Warren Plant could make a return to the show.
He was forced to pull out after testing positive for coronavirus.
It was in this year's show rules that if any star got a positive result, they would be immediately booted out of the competition.
One fan said: "I think it should be Joe and vanessa back."
Another added: "Joe-Warren has only had 1 week off as yesterday was cancelled!"
Neighbours star Jason, 52, missed the ITV show over a week ago with
bosses hoping their big money signing would be fit enough to return this
weekend.
But he announced he's quit after failing to recover from his back injury in time.
Producers had paused the entire programme for a week so that he could rest.

But he was in too much pain today, and had to tell bosses he could no
longer skate in the hit show.
A source told The Sun: "It's just utter carnage this year.
"There's injuries left right and centre, and Covid on top of that. No one could have foreseen this level of drop outs."
