Don't start it until you're 100% sure it's defrosted, if you take the cambelt out it'll almost definetely mean new valves.

my corsa redtop did the same thing last year after not driving it for a few days in bad weather. I took most of the water pipes off and just left it to de-frost its self, put all the pipes back on filled her back up and she started first time with no problems
