On Friday, Lorraine presenter Ria Hebden was the tenth celebrity revealed to be taking part in the 2022 series of the hit show.

She added that she used to enjoy skating at Bradford Ice Rink when she was a child, but hasn't taken to the ice in six years.

Ria's involvement was aptly announced during Friday's Lorraine, with the presenter saying: 'It'll be fun. This is one of ITV's most sparkly shows so when they asked me I was like absolutely, we watch it at home. It will be brilliant to learn a new scary skill.'

'You've got to say yes to things that excite you, that are a little bit scary because that's when the growth happens - I'm hoping so anyway!'

'I'm going to go on this journey and hopefully inspire mums, dads and everyone to give things a go.'

Asked if she'd ever skated before, Ria added: 'I went when I was 10 years old with my grandma and grandad to – and people in Yorkshire will remember – Bradford Ice Rink. I skated there.

'If I'm honest the last time I went on the ice was about six years ago with Noah [her son] and I did more drinking of mulled wine than skating!'  

Last week MailOnline exclusively revealed that former Strictly Come Dancing pro Brendan Cole had signed up for the show, as he hopes to emulate the success of former champion James Jordan.

A source told MailOnline: 'Brendan is extremely competitive. He wants to go all the way and win Dancing On Ice.

'Dancing is his profession so, he already has a lifetime of experience, but he's a novice when it comes to performing on an ice rink.'

On Wednesday Brendan appeared on Loose Women to discuss his involvement in the show, admitting that he struggled with a 'wobbly' first attempt at skating.

He said: 'I've had one go. I'm a fairly confident person and I like to think I'm going to be good at what I put my hand to or my feet to! I was thinking okay I'm going to be fine, I'm going to be out there and I was terrible.  

'I was a bit wobbly. You can expect to be a bit wobbly on ice but I was hoping I was going to be better than I was.

'I've got time to learn. I'm just going to embrace the whole experience and I'm very excited to get started.'

Regardless of this, he added: 'I'm so, so excited. It's been a while coming now. I've known I'd be doing the show for quite some time and I want to get started, I'm so excited to be on the show.

'To be off the stage for such a long time now. I think March last year I finished my theatre production and all the lockdowns happened. To be back on a big stage - and this is a very big, very cold stage - I cannot tell you how excited I am.

'It means a lot to us in the entertainment industry to have these opportunities and I'm going to take it with both skates!'

It came after Rachel Stevens, Liberty Poole and Ben Foden were announced to be joining the line-up earlier this month.

Joining Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on ITV's This Morning to reveal the news, Rachel, 43, said: 'It now feels really real, this is really happening. I'm so excited, obviously really nervous.'

She added: 'It's one of those things, until you do it you don't know what's going to happen.'

On whether she has skated before, Rachel added: 'Only with the Penguin with my kids you know every Christmas. I did it when I was 10 (years old) and dabbled in it for a little bit and I really loved it but I'm very wobbly.'

On why she chose to take part, Rachel said, 'The opportunity came up and I thought what an amazing opportunity to learn a new skill.

'I love the whole idea of working with a team and your partner and also for my girls to be a part of this. They are at an age now where they love all the costumes.'

Meanwhile Liberty, 22, – who shot to fame in this summer's series of the ITV2 dating show – said: 'I grew up watching Dancing On Ice and my mum actually used to be a figure skater.

'I ice skate as a hobby sometimes so I can get around the rink but I can't do any tricks, no pirouetting or anything so I'm really looking forward to pushing myself and learning as much as I possibly can.

'Not just skating around the ice but actually dancing on ice. Bring it on!'
