Former Dancing On Ice star Greg Rutherford's fiance Susie Verrill has updated fans on life with the skating star since his horrific injury. Greg, 37, was forced to pull out of the ITV show ahead of the final after tearing "all of his abs" while rehearsing a routine for the show final. At the time, the former Olympian refused to inform fans of the reason behind his injury but kept them updated about his journey and progress. However, once he was feeling better he told his followers that he "effectively gave myself a C-section", as he tore his abs when trying to skate through the legs of professional skater Colin Grafton. And he has since been in recovery. And so it's completely understandable that his fiancé Susie Verrill, took on the mantle to share with fans an update of his progress. Taking to
Instagram , she said: "Since @gregrutherford is the one laid up in bed I have to do things like stand out in the rain and meet tradesmen with their deliveries. Hadn't practised my talking-to-a-builder voice in a while so at least there's that." Earlier this week, Greg shared a selfie of himself outside enjoying a bit of sun amid the cold weather at home, following his accident. And again, sharing an update, he wrote: "I'm up showered and have a T-shirt on for the first time since surgery. Progress!'

Loads of people have been asking 'what happened?' I've been a bit busy and obviously just recovering from the initial injury before I had the surgery that I hadn't got round to talking about it." He added: "Long story short, I leapt through the legs of Colin and managed to tear all of my abs as well as herniate. So I effectively gave myself a C-section. So yes, it was horribly painful. It needs to be operated on today and then I'll be properly on the mend. It was very painful, pretty horrible." Susie had previously replied to an avid fan: "It really isn't anything gory or horrifying; just very painful and a bit of a freak accident. He hasn't gone in to it because specialists have been working out how to pinpoint it/work out next steps so I think the show were keen not to say anything until they have official report back." Keen to express their well wishes while making a joke of his condition, once fan penned: "Hope that clears it up!" While another wrote a comment leading regarding his privates being effected by the accident. But Susie replied: "No in fairness, it all sounded so suspicious we're not surprised people wanted to know!"
