Candice Brown is Dancing On Ice's fourth celebrity skater  

The news was confirmed when appearing on BBC Radio Two's Chris Evans Show.  

Candice now embarks on training ahead of the new series, which returns to ITV in the New Year.  

The 12 celebrities will be skating to impress the ice panel, consisting of skating legends Torvill and Dean, show favourite Jason Gardiner and one remaining judge, as well as the viewers at home.  

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby return to host the show.  

She joins previously confirmed celebrities Brooke Vincent, Cheryl Baker and Kem Cetinay.  

Candice said "It's nerve wracking. I start my training today. I take my first steps on the ice later on. My friends call me Bambi on Ice and that's just normal day to day!
