Charlie unveiled her participation in the show on Loose Women earlier this month, quipping: "I'm going to embrace the spray tan," before adding: "All I want to do is enjoy it and try not to break my leg."
She added: "I've skated when I was a kid and with mulled wine at Christmas. Until I get on the ice, I have no idea how I'm going to be. I'm not that strong. I'm not competitive, but it might come out in me and I want to have fun and not get injured."
Dan revealed he had signed up during an appearance on Heart Radio, telling listeners: "I'm looking forward to it, but the thought of the live shows and performing is very real.
