It comes after Stephen about a possible return to DOI after leaving Gogglebox after a decade with aspirations to pursue further TV opportunities, and was quickly signed up to the ITV dance series.

However, last month MailOnline exclusively revealed the star had suffered a freak accident in training, before being told by medics he had broken his left ankle and would be on crutches for the next three months. 

Stephen had to undergo surgery and was forced to withdraw from the competition, with Olympic ski jumper Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards taking his place in the line-up.

However, the reality star has not ruled out a return to the ice in the future, despite admitting to being ‘nervous about skating again’. 

Speaking to The Sun, Stephen said: ‘I want to bounceback after Christmas – you’ve definitely not seen the last of me. I think someone at ITV has mentioned doing Dancing on Ice again but the priority is obviously getting well now.

‘I feel nervous about skating again. I need to be the bionic man, metal in all my joints! Then they could take me on The Jump.’

Describing how he became injured, he said it was ‘agony’ and confessed he was ‘gutted’ to be stuck recovering and missing out on appearing on the ITV show.

He said: ‘I’m really gutted, it’s really hard mentally cos I’m indoors all day now. Training was going really well, I was improving every day and that’s the gutting thing – it isn’t like I was doing the headbanger, I was just doing this simple little move and I just slipped. I screamed in agony, it was awful.

‘I’ve allowed myself to be a bit down in the dumps about it and I’ve had to stop watching everyone’s progress on social media but I have to look towards the future and hopefully a new job after Christmas.’

Stephen added that his husband Daniel Lustig has been helping him, and even got him a wheelchair to aid his movement, but joked it’s made him go from ‘feeling 21 to now feeling 61!’

It comes after Stephen broke his silence for the first time since his accident, by posting a grateful message on Instagram. 

Smiling for a photo alongside his pet dogs, the TV personality could be seen with his foot in plaster and propped up on a cushion.

‘Unfortunately, I will also have to pull out of the London Marathon. I’m doing my best to keep my spirits up and will hopefully be back on my feet again very soon.’
