Sally Dynevor MBE is Dancing On Ice 2022's first celebrity contestant

Coronation Street’s Sally Dynevor is swapping the cobbles for the ice as the first celebrity skater confirmed to take part in Dancing on Ice 2022.

Joining Lorraine on ITV this morning to exclusively reveal the news, Sally said: “Now everyone knows I’m doing it I can’t back out can I?! And I’m so scared!”

Asked if she’s skated before, Sally said: “No never! I went with Hattie [her daughter] when she was little and I had a penguin and then thought this is too hard so I’ll go and get a coffee!”

She went on to say: “This is a massive challenge, Lorraine. It really, really is. I’m not getting any younger, I’ve just got to take every opportunity I get so that when I’m old I can say you know what? I gave it a go.”

Returning to ITV in the new year, twelve celebrities will be taking on the challenge to dance on ice. Each week they will skate live with their professional partners in a bid to impress both the panel and the viewers who will ultimately decide who wins the show.
