Suzanne Shaw let slip on GMTV this morning that she’s been ‘possibly’ practising one of the most daring moves performed on Dancing On Ice – the head banger.

Speaking on Entertainment Today, accident prone Suzanne responded to the head banger hear’say, revealing: “We’ve been practising - possibly - the head banger. I went to see my boyfriend yesterday and he was like, ‘You’ve had so many late nights haven’t you?’ I said ‘No I’ve not, I had a really good night’s sleep’. I looked in the mirror and all my eyes were bloodshot because the momentum of the swinging head banger just makes your eyes go pop."

Despite a cracked rib and head injury, Suzanne said the excitement of performing live leaves her pain free: “It’s a minute and a half of pure adrenaline – you don’t feel the pain because the adrenaline is just pumping through you so fast.”

She now admits becoming “a bit of a hypochondriac”, following a bug that’s hit fellow Dancing On Ice stars, Gareth Gates and Greg Rusedski.

“Steve started with it last week so he was quarantined off and not allowed near any of us”, said Suzanne. “It was hilarious – he was put into a different room.”

“Apparently, as soon as someone gets it – they’re off to another ice skating rink on the other side of the world. They’re not allowed near us.”
