However, just hours before the final on Sunday, Greg's professional skating partner Vanessa, 36, posted a photo on Instagram, announcing they were on the way to the hospital after Greg was injured during rehearsals.
Vanessa penned: "Unfortunately Greg has sustained a significant injury this morning at rehearsals and won’t be able to perform tonight. We are on our way to the hospital for Greg to get examined further and receive the treatment he needs."
Greg posted his dance routine to Instagram (ITV)Taking to Instagram after the news, Greg reshared Vanessa's post to his Story with a crying emoji. The Olympian then posted a video of himself receiving medical attention, where he said: "Hello, I know this looks very dramatic and everything else. Sadly, I picked up a big injury in rehearsals and I'm on my way to hospital.
"So I will not be performing on Dancing On Ice tonight. I am devastated but these things happen. So stay tuned, we'll keep you updated, what a nightmare way for this to finish." Greg later reposted his partner Susie's post, which said: "Not quite how @gregjrutherford anticipated spending today. Thank you for all your kind messages" with Greg adding: "It's been a really s**t day."

Posting a video of their Bolero routine on Instagram, Greg admitted that he was devastated to have missed the opportunity to perform it in real time - but hopes that he and Vanessa will one day be able to recreate the dance routine again.
"Something that I really wish I could have performed… #Bolero. I'm almost 36 hours since the injury and watching the videos of what could have been. It’s bloody hard to take at this point as I know we could have shown something exciting and new with our final performances.
"Of course the Bolero isn’t a given and I’ll post our showcase at some point too… I haven’t shown the end as I’m determined to actually perform it with Vanessa one day for everyone to see," Greg wrote alongside the video.
"I’m really proud of what we achieved on the show. This take was from Saturday morning and we were marking for the double twist… the full program was truly beautiful. I’m a bit heartbroken at the moment. Do you think me and Vanessa should get together again and perform it live one day?" he asked his followers.
