Dancing On Ice’s Denise Van Outen supports co-stars after quitting show

She was forced to quit the programme after fracturing her shoulder during rehearsals earlier this month.

But Denise Van Outen still managed to support her co-stars as she was seen leaving Hertfordshire’s RAF Bovingdon with professional skater Vanessa Bauer following Musicals Week on Sunday night. 

The TOWIE narrator, 46, and the dance expert, 24, proved safety comes first as they sported protective face masks in separate cars, hours after Graham Bell became the second celebrity to be voted off the series.

Despite dressing down in all black, actress Denise looked glamorous in a full face of make-up, while her tresses were styled in a curly updo.

German beauty Vanessa, meanwhile, switched out of her costume from the show and into a fluffy cardigan and khaki trousers as she headed home.

The pair were joined by their co-stars, as well as hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

Presenter Denise recently revealed she was in so much pain trying to perform after her shoulder fracture that she came off the ice and vomited.

The media personality announced she’s had to pull out of the series earlier in the week, following the accident which took place during training ahead of the show’s launch on January 17.

The mother-of-one – who was partnered with Matt Evers – told The Sun: ‘I came off after that show and vomited, and I nearly passed out because I was in so much pain.’

Denise was replaced by retired Olympic gymnast Amy Tinkler, 21, who scored 28 points out of 40 for her ice debut with pro Joe Johnson.

Olympic skier Graham, 55, was eliminated after facing Leicester City star Jamie Vardy’s wife Rebekah in the skate-off.

The adventurer skated an energetic routine to Born To Hand Jive from the musical Grease alongside partner Karina Manta, with the pair scoring a respectable 25 points.

But it wasn’t enough to save him from the chop as after skating against Rebekah, the judges voted to unanimously save the I’m A Celebrity star, 38, and send him home.

Speaking after his elimination, Graham said he felt he could have given more to the show, but insisted he will continue to skate in the future.
