Musician and presenter Myleene Klass is the first celebrity skater confirmed to take part in Dancing on Ice 2021.

She took to her Instagram tonight to announce she has signed up. Link to post here:

Myleene will be strapping on her skates, alongside eleven other celebrities, in a bid to become champion of the ice.

Returning to ITV in the new year, each week twelve celebrities will skate live with their professional partners as they try to impress both the panel and the viewers who will ultimately decide who wins the show.

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby once again return to present the show and the expert panel of Torvill and Dean, John Barrowman and Ashley Banjo will all resume their roles as judges.

On joining the show, Myleene said: "I have a 13 year old daughter and a 9 year old daughter who are obsessed with ice skating. They both ice skate and I stand there and I hold the coats. That’s my role – to tie the shoelaces and hold the coats. Now it's my turn to learn and I can't wait!"
