Last month, Michael pulled out of the new series of Dancing On Ice due to his injury.
In a statement, the star said he’s “absolutely devastated” that he can’t take part in the competition.
He said: “Shortly after shooting the Dancing On Ice Christmas Special I took a tumble whilst rehearsing for the January shows.
“After the fall, I thought I had sprained my wrist but it turns out that it is broken. Unfortunately, the medics have told me that I cannot compete.
“I am absolutely devastated; I have loved every second of the journey so far with my wonderful dance partner Alex Murphy and the support from the public has been overwhelming.”
His pro partner Alex paid tribute to the star on Instagram, writing: “Absolutely heartbroken to have to say that both Michael and I won’t be competing this year.
“I’m beyond devastated to not be taking part in the show this year, especially with this gentleman.”
Blue Peter presenter Radzi Chinyanganya will be replacing Michael and will take to the ice when the show begins this weekend.
The new series of Dancing On Ice starts Sunday January 5 at 6pm on ITV.
