Dancing On Ice star Carley Stenson admits she's both 'nervous and excited' to be judged by pal Oti Mabuse when she takes to the ice later this month.

While Carley has also told how she has her eyes on the final as she wants to equal if not go one further than her husband in their respective competition shows.
