Former X Factor finalist Chico replaces injured Chesney Hawkes on Dancing On Ice
Chesney Hawkes has been forced to quite Dancing On Ice after breaking his leg - and it's been revealed that former X Factor star Chico will be his replacement.
Injured Chesney, who reached No 1 with his song The One And Only back in 1991, is 'gutted' after he fell during training.
'I was having a brilliant time and couldn't wait to finally be skating live on national TV,' says Chesney, 40.
'It wasn't even a spectacular fall, it was a slight stumble.
'I'm determined to be back on the ice, I might not be able to appear in this series but hoping I will be able to appear in the show next year.'
X Factor 2005 contestant Chico is very excited about joining the show.
'I wish Chesney a speedy recovery,' says Chico, 40, in a statement.
'I will not just be skating for myself, I will be skating for Chesney as well and do him proud.'
