Dancing On Ice's star Sir Steve Redgrave has revealed he might be risking an 'unbearable pain' due to his 'frozen shoulder' - as he prepares to take part in the skating competition. The Olympic rower, 62, is familiar with gruelling trainings but admitted he is on the 'lower level' of learning how to skating.

The sportsperson, who is paired with pro-skater Vicky Ogden on the hit BBC show, praised his companion for 'keeping him up' and admitted he has only 'fallen twice' since working with her. He told The Sun: 'My biggest fear was that if I fall over, how I will use my hands to get me back up as I can't close one hand and can't straighten either of them because of my diabetes, so I can't put my hands down flat.
![['I've got a frozen shoulder! Whatever happens, I will not fall on that shoulder as the pain will be unbearable, so if I fall, I tend to do a very good roll,' he told The Sun]](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2025/01/11/18/93993391-14274045-image-a-40_1736618766503.jpg)
'I thought somebody may have to come out and haul me back up to finish a routine, but fortunately I can get back up on my own. 'And I've got a frozen shoulder! Whatever happens, I will not fall on that shoulder as the pain will be unbearable, so if I fall, I tend to do a very good roll.'.
