She is known for her dancing skills.

But, for Polish-born Ola Jordan, her future as a dancer may hang in the balance after she sustained an injury this week.

The blonde beauty, 32, reportedly fell at The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead, where she was training for the ski-themed contest - of which she's no longer involved.

According to The Sun, she was in hospital on Thursday where her husband, James, was at her side.

'It was a freak accident and nobody's fault,' a source said. 'But she fell heavily and the injuries are very serious. She definitely will not be taking part in this weekend's Strictly group dances, nor The Jump in January.

They added: 'The injuries could leave her unable to dance at the same level ever again. She's in a bad way.'

A spokesperson for Channel 4 confirmed the news, saying: 'Unfortunately, due to injury, Ola is no longer able to take part.'

Other celebrities who are scheduled to appear in the sports-related series include Heather Mills, Sally Bercow and Mike Tindall.

Last year's winner Joe McElderry had been drafted in following an injury among the competitors, in a show that led to numerous health woes.

Socialite Henry Conway broke a bone in his hand and Melinda Messenger withdrew as a result of concussion suffered on the bobsleigh track.

Two of the finalists, Sir Steve Redgrave and comedian Marcus Brigstocke, were also unable to complete the contest following injuries.

Past Winter Olympics stars Eddie the Eagle, Graham Bell, Amy Williams and Jenny Jones will be among the experts on hand for the show, which will be screened early next year, while Davina McCall will return as host.
