Liberty X star Michelle Heaton is the 10th celebrity confirmed for Dancing On Ice 2023.
Speaking to Lorraine Kelly during Monday’s edition of her titular show, she said: ‘I’m so excited – I can’t believe it.
‘Me and the kids are such huge fans of the show in general. I’ve always wanted to do it but I know I would never have been able to complete anything because of the way I was 18 months ago, so I’m really truly grateful that I’ve got it this year when I’m a lot stronger.’
The singer also explained that she was grateful that she didn’t say yes to the glamorous gig back then, but she is excited and ready to go.
‘I have no idea what I’m doing. Tomorrow is officially the first day in my skates made for me,’ she added.
Speaking about the support from her Liberty X group, she said: ‘They were super excited for me. She [Jessica Taylor] had such a good time on the show and she said “just be me.”‘
