Is Samantha too sick to dance?
Thursday 10 January 2008
Samantha Mumba collapsed at her home yesterday struck down with a mystery illness sparking fears she will quit ITV’s Dancing on Ice.
Doctors hooked Samantha, 24, up to a drip to treat her for what appeared to be severe flu symptoms and dehydration.
However, the singer is so poorly she fears she will miss Sunday’s first live Dancing on Ice.
A source close to the star said: “She was very sick but is resting now and is determined to get better and get back on the ice.”
Studio bosses have ordered extra medics on standby in case Sam is taken ill on the show.
Gareth Gates and Hollyoaks actor Chris Fountain are current favourites to win the third series of the show, followed closely by Samantha.
