WINNING Dancing on Ice almost proved too much for Joe Swash – as he nearly fell flat on his face while celebrating with his co-stars.
The accident-prone 38-year-old almost tumbled off the podium – and narrowly missed a third trip to hospital.
In the hilarious clip Joe is seen trying to squeeze past his cast-mates to try and catch his skating partners attention.
As the EastEnders legend made his way through the big crowd of people in his skates, he tripped up and tumbled to the floor.
Luckily, judge John Barrowman saved the day in his sparkling gold suit and caught the actor just in time.
Joe tried to shake off the fall in the smoothest way possible – and gave Alex Murphy a massive hug to celebrate their happy news.
