MYLEENE Klass has already done a version of Dancing On Ice’s headbanger move, after bashing her head in training and blacking out.

The presenter has been in the wars on the rink even before her first solo competitiv­e skate this Sunday, needing physio for a torn cartilage in her knee.

And when asked if she might go for the headbanger move later in the show, where she would be thrown around by her legs by pro partner Lukasz Rozycki, Myleene, 42, joked: “I have done it already.”

STRUGGLE

Myleene told yesterday of a knee injury thing you see is that couldn’t believe it.”

Myleene, who saw an on-site medic to assess the injury, told yesterday how she damaged the meniscus in her knee but insisted: “I am going to power through.

“I love ice skating, it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to conquer but I’ve worked too hard to quit. I’ll give it everything.”

She revealed that her three children are just as keen to see her get started.

Myleene said: “It is like Christmas, the build-up has been for ever. My kids are beside themselves.”

She is one of six celebs dancing on Sunday – the others are Olympic athlete Colin Jackson, skier Graham Bell, ex-coronation Street star Faye Brookes, radio DJ Sonny Jay and TV’S Billie Shepherd.

Faye, 33, is the bookies’ favourite at 9-4 but said: “It does put more pressure on. I’m overwhelme­d.”
