Yahoo Finance Denise Van Outen rules out return to Dancing on Ice after early exit over injury
This year's series of Dancing on Ice had a difficult road, with several couples having to drop out.
Among numerous injuries sustained, there was also the small issue of the global coronavirus pandemic, which caused some skaters to pull out.
Denise Van Outen left the competition after she fell in rehearsals and injured her shoulder.
Speaking about whether she'd come back for the next series, Denise said: "I'm going to be really honest, I don't think I would.
"I don't think they would allow me to – I would be considered [to have] an unfair advantage because of training," she added to Metro.
"I did my training, I'd have a three-month head-start and obviously other people haven't done it before, so I don't know if I'd be allowed to."
Speaking of the show, she added: "It was a tough year for them but fair play to them, they put a show on like that, a big, big, sizeable show in the middle of a pandemic and that's not easy.
"They just wanted to give the audience something different to watch so they weren't sat at home watching repeats and stuff. Fair play to them for doing it."
On leaving the show, Denise said at the time: "GUTTED! If you’ve been watching @dancingonice you will be aware that just over a week ago I had a nasty fall and injured my shoulder.
"I managed to skate my first dance with @themattevers on the live show through a gritted smile because the pain was unbearable. I've tried as hard as I can to carry on because I love the show and the amazing team in front and behind the cameras.
"Initially we thought with rest I could make a return to the ice, but a recent MRI scan has shown that I have 3 bone fractures as well as a partial dislocation. OUCH! No wonder I've been in agony."
