What do Liberty X’s Kelli Young, yachtswoman Tracy Edwards, former England footballer Lee Sharp, Duncan James and Radio1 DJ Scott Mills have in common? They are some of the celebrities apparently lined up to appear in the second series of Dancing on Ice.
Dancing on Ice is set to return to our screens in January after its phenomenal success earlier this year which saw Gaynor Faye and Daniel Whiston crowned Dancing on Ice champions. Over 15 million tuned in to see the grand finale where Torvill and Dean performed an adaptation of their Bolero routine, which earned them Olympic gold medals in 1984.
Jayne and Chris recently returned home following their successful Australian version and will reunite soon in order to start getting the series 2 celebrities used to the ice and confident with their blades.
The Sunday Mirror (17th September), suggested that celebrities lined up to appear in series 2 included Koo Sark, photographer and former model, known also as being Prince Andrew’s ex, Liberty X’s Kelli Young, yachtswoman Tracy Edwards, former England footballer Lee Sharp, and Radio1 DJ Scott Mills. Others apparently include former Duncan James from former boy band Blue, TV presenter Donna Air, actress Lysette Anthony, ex Eastender Michelle Gayle, and ITV weather girl Becky Mantin are also being lined up for the 11-week series. Other sources confirmed that sports presenter Gabby Logan and former Boyzone Stephen Gateley are also in the line up.
The paper also quotes an insider as saying
“The stars of the last series set a very high benchmark - so the new celebs have a lot to live up to. They have been warned to expect pain, punishment and tears."
Will there be celebrity spotting down at the local ice rinks anytime soon?
