It came moments before she managed the impressive 'headbanger' spin just five weeks into the contest, a move dreaded by even professional skaters.

After her performance to Lady Gaga's Just Dance, the 33-year-old broke down in tears, telling Schofield: 'It's mainly shock, but I did bang my head.'

She still managed to score an impressive 21 points despite the fall with dance partner Daniel Whiston insisting it was his fault.

The entire auditorium was left with their hearts in their mouths as Hayley crashed on to the ice, but judge Robin Cousins told her afterwards that besides the slip, the rest of the performance was 'absolutely sensational'.

She was praised by the panel also for being professional and carrying on with the routine.

Danniella Westbrook and skating partner Matthew Gonzalez were the final act to dance last night as ten celebrities became nine.

She manage to pull in a score of 20 after tangoing to the Debelah Morgan hit Dance With Me.

Having had tango lessons in the week, the former EastEnders star took to the ice in a sexy red ensemble, managing to come second on the leader board and score her best mark to date.

Judge Emma Bunton told her afterwards: 'I think some of it needed a little more attack and to be sexier.. you were smiling through it, but it was nearly there.'

Dr Hilary Jones and skating partner Alexandra Shauman came bottom of the leader board with a score of 11.5.

Dancing to Savage Garden's Truly Madly Deeply, Dr Hilary was criticised by acid tongued judge Jason Gardiner, who branded him 'stiff' and accused him of rolling out the same routine every week.

Sharron Davies and skating partner Pavel Aubrecht performed to the Mutya Buena cover of Fast Car.

Last week judge Jason Gardiner caused a storm by comparing her to 'faecal' matter. This week he insulted her again, describing her as 'rather large'.

After her performance she was awarded 16.5 and was praised by Jason for improving from last week.

He told her: 'What a difference a week can make. I actually saw in places there was some real grace.'

But he then told her: 'The problem is your upper body. You need to learn to extend beyond yourself, even though you are rather large.'

Sharron retorted by calling Jason small, before host Schofield attempted to smooth over the tensions, saying: 'I think he meant tall, and you are very, very tall.'

Kieron Richardson and skating partner Brianne Delcourt scored 15 after their performance to Pencil Full Of Lead by Paolo Nutini.

Despite a technical glitch which saw the music temporarily stop, the Hollyoaks star managed to carry on for the rest of the routine.

Mikey Graham was given his lowest score this week - just 15 - after almost slipping over during his dance to River Of Dreams by Billy Joel.

Following his routine with skating partner Melanie Lambert, he insisted he was pleased with his mark because 'you can't get it spot on every week.'

Mentor Christopher Dean backed him up, saying it was a challenging routine. He said: 'I don't think people appreciate how difficult it is for the celebrities to get to this stage. He had a breakthrough last week and a breakdown this week.'

After coming bottom in the leader board last week, Inbetweeners star Emily Atack managed her best score yet of 15.

Delighted with her mark, the actress became tearful as she gushed to Schofield about how pleased she was with her improved score.

She got into the groove with skating partner Fred Palascak as they skated to The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani.

Judge Emma told her: 'I am pleasantly surprised. You looked confident, you looked sexy. You just showed me you can skate.'

But after telling her it was her best week yet, Jason could not resist sticking the knife in, when he said: 'Watch your jaw... have you got an underbite?'

As the audience gasped, he continued: 'Well you need to pull it back. You're sticking it out.'

Former Corrie star Danny Young skated to Elton John's hit Tiny Dancer with partner Frankie Poultney where he managed to impressively lift her above his head during the routine.

Earlier in the week he went for ballet lessons in a bid to improve the posture of his arms when dancing.

Mentor Christopher Dean told him that he managed a big improvement on last week, when he came in the bottom two.

Nicky Slater said he was 'blown away' by the big lift he managed, but Jason told Danny he needed to sort out his 'gaping mouth' and 'show off more' in the lifts to make them appear even more spectacular. Danny was awarded 17 points.

Heather Mills made it on to the ice, despite pulling her hamstring during rehearsals, to perform to Chain Of Fools Aretha Franklin.

He said: 'I was quite impressed with the control you displayed on the ice, but in the lifts make sure you lift up in the chin and extend that neckline.'

Gary Lucy was the first celebrity to skate, along with dancing partner Maria Filippov.

Before his performance, viewers saw a video of The Bill star making a visit to the West End show Hairspray where he dressed up as a woman in a bid to lose his inhibitions on the ice.

Gary performed to the sun, sand and surf hit, Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys.

He was awarded 18.5 for his efforts, before revealing how he enjoyed 'loosening up' during the week when he dressed in drag.

Emma told him: 'Surely but slowly we're getting to see the real Gary. I can see your personality coming through and you seemed to own the performance.'

Nicky added: 'It was not as clean and assured as it could be,' but said he was a 'big fan' of the actor's skating.

This week's required element was the pairs spin where the couple have to spin together and make at least two, if not three, revolutions.

Pixie Lott opened the show with a cover of the Kings of Leon track Use Somebody, which Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean performed a routine to.
