Paralympic grand champion Dame Sarah Storey was also set to compete, though she recently had to pull out of the show after fracturing her ankle during training.

"Absolutely gutted to have my Dancing on Ice training interrupted in this way – just as my first routine with @slongchambon was really coming together! ⛸️" she wrote on Instagram earlier this month.

"An awkward stumble and fall with my left foot stuck on the ice sadly led to me fracturing my left ankle."

The star added that she is focusing on "all the strength and mobility work I need to do to get back to full power and of course back to my bike ahead of next season".

"My career has seen so many ups and downs with injury and illness, plus returning after two babies, which means I'm well equipped for another comeback," she said.

Dancing on Ice will return January 12, 2025 on ITV1 and ITVX.
