Hannah Spearritt took a tumble during rehearsals for Dancing on Ice.
The former S Club star, 42, was pictured practicing for her slot on the upcoming edition of the ITV1 show alongside professional partner Andy Buchanan and initially looked somewhat nervous.
At one point, it looked like Hannah was about to hit the deck whilst trying out a complicated move in the rink.
But the Reach hitmaker soon displayed a more confident front as she stood tall and skated hand-in-hand with her partner.
The Primeval actress was then seen smiling at her partner as she looked pleased with the progress she had made.

Hannah shot to fame as a teenager in the 1990s when she joined the BRIT Award-winning pop group alongside Jon Lee, Rachel Stevens, Bradley McIntosh, Paul Cattermole, Jo O’Meara and Tina Barrett and they enjoyed massive success before disbanding in 2003.
The Never Had a Dream Come True singers got back together recently for a reunion tour but Hannah admitted she wasn’t able to take part after Paul – whom she had dated during the band’s heyday – died in April at the age of 46.
Following the tragedy, Hannah was left unable to confirm whether she would ever sing with the band again.
She told The Sun: ‘Will I ever perform with them again? I just don’t know, I’m glad that the tour is still going ahead and the songs will live on, but now I’m looking forward, not backwards?’
The group’s 25th anniversary celebrations ultimately went ahead across October with the five remaining members paying tribute to Paul and renaming the show the Good Times tour in after his favourite track.
Speaking on stage in Manchester, Jo, 44, said: ‘Thank you all so much. All the messages and love and support that you’ve all showed of us and Paul’s family – we are so grateful to every single one of you.
‘I would just love to see every single one of you in here right now to show us your hearts for our Paul!’

But after pulling out of the tour, Hannah was revealed as a contestant for the new series of Dancing on Ice
But since quitting the tour, Hannah has released her autobiography and will be seen be competing against former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas and Emmerdale actress Roxy Shahidi as well as the likes of Love Island’s Amber Davies and radio presenter Adele Roberts when the Dancing on Ice launches in January.
When it was announced that she was taking part in the skating show, she admitted she was excited to be learning a new skill.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, she said: ‘I’m really excited about learning a new skill.
‘It’s so easy to live your comfortable life and that aspect of mixing things up is very appealing. Fitness is another reason why I’m doing it! It’s really exciting.’
