Yesterday we discovered that Love Island’s Kem will be taking part in the new series of Dancing On Ice, and now it’s been revealed that another reality TV star is also competing.
Candice Brown, who won last year’s series of The Great British Bake Off, is to take to the ice when the show returns in early 2018.
She will be joined by rugby player Max Evans, who has also been confirmed for the series, and Jake Quickenden, who previously appeared on The X Factor.
Candice said: ‘It’s nerve wracking. I start my training today. I take my first steps on the ice later on. My friends call me Bambi on Ice and that’s just normal day to day!’
What to read next
Candice quit her job as a PE teacher last year after scooping the prize of top baker on GBBO. At the time she said it was an ‘agonising’ decision but she couldn’t turn down the ‘amazing opportunities’ she’d been presented with.
Max, who has played for Scotland, added: ‘I haven’t done any skating since I was a kid, and this is completely different having to skate on live television. I’ve had two training sessions which have hurt my feet a lot. We’ve all had a dance, which is familiar territory, but skating is so not…’
Other contestants confirmed include Cheryl Baker and Brooke Vincent.
