Suffering: Kerry Katona, seen at a Peter Andre concert earlier this week, is said to have cracked two ribs during Dancing On Ice rehearsals
Kerry Katona's future on Dancing On Ice has been left in doubt after she sustained two cracked ribs during training.
The 30-year-old star, who has been pictured in training for the ITV show in recent months, is thought to be 'in agony' and has been told to rest by doctors ahead of the start of the programme.
However, Kerry is determined not to let the injury stop her in her tracks, and is said to be determined to be there for the show launch on 9th January.
A source told the Daily Star: 'Kerry is in agony after fracturing two of her ribs skating.The problem is that she as kept on and on and on and that has made it worse.
'But that is just how determined she is to make the start of Dancing On Ice. This is her big chance to win over the British public again after all she has been through.
'No one knows how she has got through this week. Kerry has been ordered to rest and take strong painkillers but despite the pain she has still been trying to make it out to appointments.'
In training: Kerry was seen practising for the show earlier this year
Tough: Kerry appeared to be struggling with some of the more complex moves
Kerry was pictured at a Peter Andre concert earlier this week holding her side as she struggled to cope with the pain.
The reality TV star was apparently paid £60,000 to appear on Dancing On Ice alongside celebrities such as Denise Welch, who is said to have been offered £50,000 and Jeff Brazier on £40,000.
Coronation Street star Steven Arnold - whose character Ashley Peacock died in the tram crash during the soap's 50th birthday spectacular - will also appear on the show, as well as rapper Vanilla Ice and former newsreader Angela Rippon.
Victoria Cross hero Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry is also in training to compete, the first contestant from outside the worlds of sport and showbiz.
Former EastEnders star Sam Attwater, Australian Craig McLachlan - known for his role in Neighbours - and Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe are other soap stars to appear in the show.
Cricketer Dominic Cork, Chris Moyles' BBC Radio 1 sidekick David Vitty - known to listeners as Comedy Dave - and Chloe Madeley, the daughter of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, are also in the running.
Completing the line-up are Nickelodeon presenter Laura Hamilton, Frank Lampard's ex-girlfriend Ellen Rives and actress Nadia Sawalha.
While most of the celebrities' pay packets range from Kerry's high of £60,000 to Jeff's £40,000, three of the more minor stars - Comedy Dave, Hamilton and Attwater - will only receive £20,000 for taking part in the show.
Dancing On Ice starts on ITV1 on 9th January.
