Liberty, 22, told fans she was "feeling the pressure" in the trailer looking ahead to the first episode of the much-loved ITV skating competition.

"I am feeling the pressure, oh my god, it is so terrifying," the star - who rose to fame on the ITV2 dating show last summer - could be heard saying.

"I'm just thinking, 'We need to get crack-a-lackin' and speed things up here," she went on before a clip showed her hitting the floor.

Partner Joe looked to try and help the star stay upright as she slipped out of his hands and landed flat on her back, letting out a high-pitched scream.

Last year, Liberty took to Instagram to reveal she had been partnered up with hot new American professional skater Joe, 27.

The pair smiled for a photo as the reality TV star gushed that she was "so lucky to be partnered with someone so talented and full of energy".

Joe is a new face on the ice after joining the ITV competition earlier this year.

The skating star has ompeted in Skate America, the US International Classic, US National Championships and the Midwestern Sectional Championships.

He also performed with the Cirque du Soleil alongisde his professional skating partner Karina Manta - with the pair both coming out publicly the same year.

Joe, who has a boyfriend called Zac, opened up that he was proud to "represent LGBTQ people" in the skating field in a 2018 interview iwth OutSports.

In November, Liberty revealed she had a dramatic fall while training for the show as she was snapped lying flat on her back on the ice.

Although she appeared to be a natural on the ice in prior sessions, Liberty proved that she's still learning as she lost her balance and fell over in the rink.

The fall came just days after Liberty showed off her impressive ice skating skills less than two weeks into Dancing On Ice training.

The reality TV alum was filmed getting some practice in at a public ice rink as she told her fans she was trying out a tricky new move.

"Very busy day ahead," Liberty revealed as she was seen in the back of a cab on the way to her practice session, dressed in a bright green tracksuit.

A second clip on her Instagram stories saw her "trying backward crossovers" alongside a coach, as she skated in backwards in circles.

Next, Liberty went solo as she proved she didn't need anyone to lean on to perform the technical move, writing: "Now trying them on my own."
