My dancing isn't great either, for a gay man I have no rhythm, I struggle to clap along to a beat so this will be fun."
Anton Ferdinand
Footballer and Pundit
Footballer and pundit Anton Ferdinand is the seventh celebrity confirmed to be taking part in the new series of Dancing on Ice.
Speaking exclusively to talkSPORT Radio, Anton said "I decided to sign up for the show because it's a challenge first and foremost. I'm in a new phase of my life since retiring from football and the one of the things I've missed about playing is the structure it gives you."
"Dancing On Ice will give me that focus but I'm also doing it for my daughter because she loves dance and performing arts. My son always had my football to shout about so this will give my daughter and me something to share."
Chelsee Healey
Actress
Actress Chelsee Healey is the eighth celebrity confirmed to be taking part in the new series of Dancing on Ice.
Speaking exclusively to Heart Radio, 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."
Dan Edgar
TOWIE Star
TOWIE favourite, Dan Edgar, is the ninth celebrity confirmed to be taking part in the new series of Dancing on Ice.
Speaking exclusively to Heart Radio, Dan said "I'm looking forward to it but the thought of the live shows and performing is very real. 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."
Chris Taylor
Reality Star and Presenter
Love Island favourite, Chris Taylor, is the tenth celebrity confirmed to be taking part in the new series of Dancing on Ice.
Speaking exclusively to Heart Radio, Chris said "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
Television Presenter
Television Presenter Michaela Strachan is the eleventh celebrity confirmed to be taking part in the new series of Dancing on Ice.
Speaking exclusively to Lorraine Kelly on Lorraine, Michaela said "It's going to be a big challenge the last time I was on ice was four years ago when I took the kids, I'm not one of those people who holds onto the sides I guess because I was trained as a dancer I've got a bit of balance. I've always been one of those people who says yes, I'll do that."
Dancing on Ice returns in January on ITV1
