“On this occasion, it went very wrong and the back of my heel and my blade sliced his face open.”

Rebekah, who is married to footballer Jamie Vardy, said Andy became “concerned about was making sure that he could skate the next day”.

Meanwhile, Rebekah has been keeping fans updated throughout her training for the show.

Meanwhile, last year, Rebekah appeared on Good Morning Britain to confirm her stint on the show.

And she spoke about her feud with Coleen Rooney.

The pair fell out in 2019 when Coleen claimed false stories about her became leaked to the press via Rebekah’s Instagram account.

At the time, Rebekah briefly addressed her legal battle with the fellow WAG.

She said: “Look, we tried to sort things out amicably and it just didn’t work.
