Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has been put on bed rest days before her Dancing on Ice debut.
The Love Island winner, 28, is set to take to the ice for the first time this weekend with partner Brendyn Hatfield.
However, she's been "banned" from training ahead of the launch show on Sunday (January 15).

Ekin-Su took to Twitter on Thursday (January 12) to break the news to her fans: "Very ill. Doctors have told me to rest hopefully I can recover very quickly ready for Sunday."
Unsurprisingly, her dedicated followers sent well wishes to the reality star to recover quickly and prioritise her health over being ready for her first routine.
One fan tweeted: “Oh girl, you definitely need to look after yourself, the most important thing is that you rest up and feel better! Everything else can wait. Sending all the love and positive vibes to you for a speedy recovery.”
Another added: Feel better soon lovely. Definitely rest up, need to give your body and immune system a break."
While a third person added: "Oh no! Talk about bad timing, rest up and hope you feel better soon."
She has been documenting her skating sessions on Instagram in view of her online followers.
But she told Daily Star her "whole body hurt" at the TV Choice Awards as she prepares for her first performance.
The Turkish beauty explained "It's very intense but I'm loving every minute of it. My whole body hurts."
Ekin-Su recently lifted her dress up on Good Morning Britain to show off her injuries so far.
She was joined on the breakfast show by her boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti as the pair promoted their ITV2 show Homecoming.
"It's gone now but I've got bruises and I've lost a toe!" she exclaimed.
GMB host Ranvir Singh leaned in closer to inspect the dark marks along Ekin-Su's leg, commenting: "Oh you've got bruises!"

Ekin-Su went on to describe what had happened that resulted in the missing toenail.
"I've lost a toenail, it went backwards but it's great," she said, smiling and laughing through the pain.
