Dancing on Ice star Chris Taylor has shared he was involved in a car accident mere hours after taking to the rink for a live show.
The Love Island season 5 star, who also took part in the show's first-ever All Stars series, is currently testing his skating balance on the ITV competition hosted by Stephen Mulhern and Holly Willoughby.
The day after he made his skating debut in January, Chris revealed he "forgot to look" to his right while driving in an attempt to avoid a "kerfuffle" ahead of him.

"There was already a few cars on the side of the road who had pranged each other and they were in a bit of a kerfuffle, and I thought, I'm just gonna get out of your way. But I forgot to look and a guy came in on the right hand side," he told the Mirror.
Thankfully, all ended well. Not only was no one injured, the other driver was a fan of Chris's skating moves.

"The guy got out and said, 'You're Chris!'" the reality TV star recalled.
"It ended up being a really nice conversation and he said, 'You skated really well yesterday'."

Chris joined the competition with pro skater Vanessa Bauer. After appearing on three episodes of the show, Vanessa was forced to withdraw from the show due to a torn ligament and other sprain injuries.
The ex-Love Island star remained in the competition with new partner Robin Johnstone.
Following Vanessa's retirement, Chris shared a tribute to his former partner on Instagram, calling her "the most committed, determined and inspirational person I've ever met".
He added: "She gives everything 3,000% and it's been an honour to be taught by her. Very, very sad we didn't get to finish this together, but you've got an annoying brother for life now."
Dancing on Ice airs Sunday nights on ITV1 and ITVX.
