Former Westlife singer Brian McFadden revealed during last week's Dancing On Ice launch show that he wants to compete with early favourite James Jordan, but things aren't looking up for Brian after he suffered a 'bad fall' in training.
Brian is due to perform for the first time on Sunday night's show, but his professional partner Alex Murphy has revealed they took a tumble in training, leaving the 38-year-old very 'anxious'.
Alex told The Sun Online, "We had a fall, it was pretty bad. He was really anxious after that but I told him not to worry and hopefully it's out of his system."

The news comes after judge Jason Gardiner HIT BACK at Gemma Collins yesterday, calling the TOWIE star 'ignorant'.
Speaking on This Morning on Friday morning, Jason fired back after Gemma had previously told Lorraine Kelly that he 'couldn't skate'. Clearly not happy at her comments, Jason said, "We have to forgive these people for being ignorant for not knowing their stuff, she doesn't understand where I can come from, she doesn't know that I can skate."
He then added, "I'm not on the panel to judge the skating, we leave that to skating royalty Jayne and Chris.
"The job of Ashley and I is to talk about the performance the choreography. I enjoy the fact that I will say the truth, but it's also based on experience and expertise, I've been doing this for 35 years."
After the first six celebrities performed last weekend, it was Neighbours star Mark Little and his professional partner Brianne Delcourt who found themselves bottom of the leader board with a score of 13.5.
Following the public votes, Holly and Phillip announced that Mark Little and Brianne Delcourt are the first couple in next week's skate-off. Mark will be up against the celebrity who receives the lowest votes during Sunday night's show.
Brian McFadden will perform on Sunday night's show alongside Wes Nelson, Melody Thornton, Richard Blackwood, Ryan Sidebottom and Saira Khan.
Dancing On Ice continues every Sunday at 6pm.
