We particularly admire the fact that, despite her celebrity partner needing a nap midway through the routine, Frankie Poultney soldiered on alone. Who wants to be part of a double act when you can be the main event, eh?7 of 27

The first time we saw blood on the ice wasn't after a dramatic fall, it was after the ultra-flexible Jennifer Ellison kicked herself in the head. We're serious.

Despite being the victim of a high-powered Jorgie kick, Matt Evers doesn't have a squeaky clean record himself. Remember when he dropped Suzanne Shaw? DO YOU?! We do. And we have a photo to remind us about it, too.10 of 27

An accident of a very different kind, remember the horribly awkward moment when Pamela Anderson's famous boob made a bid for freedom during a live routine? We're not sure which is worse; that Matt is staring downwards so very intently, or the blingin' silver nipple thing ol' Pammie's got going on.11 of 27
