A DANCING on Ice star suffered a nasty accident just moments before performing at the weekend, The Sun can reveal.
EastEnders legend Patsy Palmer left the competition on Sunday night after accidentally elbowing partner Matt Evers in the face during their performance.
But creative director Dan Whiston has told how RuPaul's Drag Race star The Vivienne still managed to skate even after a shoulder injury.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Dan said: "The Vivienne astounded the audience this week when they made a brave decision to perform out of drag for the first time in their career.
"As if that wasn’t nerve wracking enough they had an injury to their shoulder just hours before the show went live.

"They downplayed what happened, but I know they were in a lot of pain and still managed to deliver a show-stopping performance!"
The Vivienne and dance partner Colin Grafton impressed the judges with their performance to Beyoncé's hit track Halo.
But the star later admitted admitted that it wasn't their best skate after suffering with a bout of diarrhoea during rehearsals.
He told viewers: "It's been a really emotional week, getting ready to do this without my armour and then hurting my shoulder this morning and then having some diarrhoea."
The audience erupted with laughter, as presenter Holly Willoughby interjected: "It happens...it happens."
