Dancing On Ice’s 11th star revealed as Springwatch star live on ITV’s Lorraine
A SPRINGWATCH presenter has been revealed as the latest celebrity taking part in the new series of Dancing On Ice.
Lorraine Kelly broke the news live on ITV’s Lorraine this morning – confirming the 58-year-old will be putting her skates on.
Michaela Strachan joins the likes of Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey, EastEnders legend Charlie Brooks and football pundit Anton Ferdinand.
During her chat with Lorraine, Michaela confessed she almost did the show 14 years ago.
She said: “It’s going to be a big challenge. I have no idea whether I’m going to be good, average or totally rubbish!”
Although she now lives in Cape Town with her partner Nick Chevallier, Michaela admitted she was looking forward to relocating to the UK to do the show as it means she’ll be close to her son Ollie who is studying at Loughborough University.
Michaela presented kids’ wildlife programme The Really Wild Show from 1993 until 2006.
Today it was also revealed that Love Island‘s Chris Taylor and Towie star Dan Edgar will also take part in the upcoming series.
Also taking to the ice when the show returns in January are Ferne McCann, Traitors finalist Mollie Pearce and Olympian Sir Steve Redgrave.
They’ll be competing against Coronation Street star Sam Aston and comedian Josh Jones.
