The next three celebrites to compete in the next series of Dancing on Ice have been announced, and they are The Only Way is Essex legend Dan Edgar, Love Island’s Chris Taylor and Hollyoaks star, Chelsee Healey.
Talking to Heart Radio about joining the competition, Dan said: “I’m looking forward to it but the thought of the live shows and performing is very real.” Dan added: “I like to think I can ice skate a little bit but I’m a terrible dancer so that bit is going to need some work.” Dan has been at the centre of TOWIE drama recently after striking up a relationship with Ella Rae Wise after his split from co-star Amber Turner.
Hollyoaks star Chelsee who plays Goldie McQueen in the soap will also be taking to the ice rink when the show airs in the coming months. On joining the series, Chelsee said: “I’m ready, I’m good to go, let’s go! I’ve got a bit of rhythm but skating on ice is completely different, I’m excited. I’m most excited for the live shows, getting to perform live every week will give me a buzz, I can’t wait for the live shows.”
Chris, who was recently on E4’s Celebs Go Dating, has been revealed as the tenth celebrity to take part in the new series. Also talking to Heart Radio, Chris confessed: “I’m somewhere between absolutely terrified and very excited and I keep flitting between the two quite aggressively throughout the day. I’ve not even started stretching yet, I need to. I can skate but my dad got the snakehips, unfortunately I didn’t inherit that genetically from him.”
Michaela Strachan, known for her told on Springwatch, was later revealed to be the eleventh celebrity to compete. She announced the news on Lorraine this morning (3 October). Michaela revealed she almost did the series fourteen years ago when she was approached, but has officially signed up for the 2025 series.
The presenter announced she will be relocating back to the UK for training as she resides in South Africa. Her 19-year-old-son is currently at Loughborough University and Michaela confesses her son’s feelings about her being on the series could go ‘one of two ways’, he’ll either find it ‘cool’ or ’embarrassing.’.
The other celebs who have been announced for the 2025 series is sports star Anton Ferdinand, comedian Josh Jones, EastEnders legend Charlie Brooks, Coronation Street’s Sam Aston, Olympic rower Sir Steve Redgrave, The Traitor’s Mollie Pearce, and TOWIE’s Ferne McCann.
Ferne was the very first celebrity to be announced and said she’s most looking forward to the ‘glitz and glamour of the show’. Sport pundit Anton Ferdinand is also joining the series and confessed the reason was that he wanted to try something new after ‘retiring from football’. He added that he’s also doing the series for his daughter because she ‘loves dance’.
