The 32-year-old was due to perform in the third episode of the ITV reality skating show on Sunday but will leave the competition early alongside his skating partner Tippy Packard.

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.

“Josh and Tippy’s partnership will be greatly missed. We will be helping to support Josh and wish him well with his recovery.”

The comedian has appeared on shows including Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club and 8 Out Of 10 Cats and has hosted the BBC Three competition Fast Food Face-Off.

Dancing On Ice’s social media account said Jones and Packard’s “partnership will be greatly missed” and wished him a “speedy recovery”.

Mancunian Jones hosts the historical gossip podcast Dead Drama and is a co-presenter of the comedy podcast Chatting With Cherubs with Morgan Rees.

He has also appeared on Channel 4’s Married At First Sight: Unveiled; Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled on Dave; BBC Two’s The Apprentice spin-off programme The Apprentice: You’re Fired; and Comedy Central’s Undeniable.

Jones has been nominated for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards and has been a finalist for the BBC New Comedy Award.

His first skate on Dancing On Ice was a dramatic and silly performance to the Scissor Sisters hit I Don’t Feel Like Dancing, which landed him in the bottom two last week.

However, he beat soap star Chelsee Healey, who was the first celebrity to be voted off the 2025 series.
