Unfortunately Libby will not be able to skate on this Sunday’s show.
Meanwhile, a source added: “Libby fell ill early in the week and hasn’t been able to skate.
“Now Maura’s sick and it could be the same thing. She’s trying to get herself back to full fitness in time for the show but it hangs in the balance.”
Maura recently revealed her training was cancelled on Friday because her temperature was “too high”.
She told fans she’s “praying” that she’ll be able to skate on Sunday evening’s show but she may “need a miracle”.
Alongside a bare-faced photo of herself lying in bed, Maura wrote: “Feeling absolutely dreadful.
“My training was cancelled today as my temperature was too high! Praying I’m good for Sunday but might need a miracle.”
However, a rep for Dancing On Ice told ED!: “Maura and Alex are skating tomorrow night to She Wolf by Shakira.”
Meanwhile, last month, Libby’s performance left judge Christopher Dean in tears.
Unfortunately due to illness and on the advice of the #DancingOnIce medical staff, @LibbyClegg will not be able to skate on tonight’s show.
Wishing you all the best Libby – we’ll miss you tonight, but rest up and we hope to see you back next week! 💕 pic.twitter.com/1Mt4Dz2nTg
