Despite being in pain, the television personality was all smiles as he rested his adorable pet pooches on his stomach.

He wrote: “Thank you all for your kind words and messages. On Wednesday last week during my training session for Dancing on Ice I fell and broke my left ankle.

“I was having so much fun and enjoying learning to skate,” Stephen expressed.

The Channel 4 star went on to say that he will be tuning into the show when it airs and will be cheering on the other celebrities taking part.
