'Gutted': Dancing On Ice professional skater Vanessa Bauer has been forced to pull out of Sunday's show after a horror fall during training left her with concussion
The German performer took to Instagram on Sunday morning to break the devastating news to her fans.
Alongside a video of herself and a picture with her skating pals, she wrote: 'I think it’s obvious how I LOVE skating on @dancingonice which is why I’m gutted I can’t perform tonight!
'After banging my head into the wall I feel fine but @itv is super cautious and really takes care of us skaters which is why I went through SO many tests.
'Although I feel ok I am not allowed to skate this weekend. For the sake of my health I have to rest my brain.'

The brunette beauty was not set to compete with Perri this week as they took to the ice last week. However, she was due to perform in a group number.
She continued: 'I am GUTTED but at least @realperrikiely are not competing this week anyways! He will still be part of the group numbers like everybody else so I’m wishing everybody the best of luck and an incredible show!
'@realperrikiely and I will be back for the next week. As funny as I thought my fall was, head injuries are no joke and the consequences can be very serious.'
Meanwhile, she added to The Sun: 'I'm gutted to be missing the group number on tonight but on the advice of the amazing Dancing On Ice medical team, I’ve been told to rest up for a few days.

Doctor's advice: Vanessa confirmed that she will not be taking part in the latest show after medics advised her to rest up, with the star admitting: 'I'm gutted'
'I feel fine in myself, but am following the advice of the medics.
'While I haven't broken my face, I have a concussion which should all be fine with a few days rest and I'll be fighting fit for next week.'
She went on to say that she and Perri have a 'great routine' for next week and she 'can't wait' to show it off.'
On Friday, Vanessa shared a dramatic video of 'the most embarrassing and painful fall of her career'.
After sharing the clip on her Instagram page, Vanessa told her followers she 'literally thought she had broken her face', before posting a glimpse of her injuries.

The television personality wore pale pink leggings and a black sports bra as she showed off her incredible skating skills.
At the start of the routine, she span around the ice with one leg in the air and a hand on the floor - before performing a cartwheel.
But as she started to move to another spot on the rink, Vanessa stumbled and face-planted the wall.
She captioned the post: 'THAT just happened. I literally thought I broke my face. It started off so well lol,.. good thing I know how to stop, not.'

Vanessa later shared clips of her holding a cold compress to her face and looking slightly teary-eyed.
In one snap, a red scratch could be seen on the brunette beauty's face and her cheek was very red.
Speaking to the camera, she wrote: 'I'm literally so dizzy. Honestly I'm so happy I can still talk. Was it bad? It's so bad ... it hurts so much, I'm so glad my face is not broke.'
Vanessa made her ice debut with Perri on Sunday night when the pair performed to Puttin' On the Ritz by Robbie Williams.

Diversity's Perri revealed he was feeling the pressure due to his dancing background in the VT before he met his pro Vanessa.
His Diversity mentor Ashley Banjo awarded him seven points out of 10 and he gained a 27.5 out of 40.
He said: 'You've got a lot of pressure, everyone saying "You're going to be good". A lot of pressure from me.
'You make things look too easy, there's a lot of technicality. But you need to perform it as well.'
