Myleene Klass has been announced as the first of 12 celebrities to join Dancing on Ice 2021.

The I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! star will be strapping on a pair of skates and hoping to stay upright when the series returns in the new year.

Myleene said her daughters have always wanted her to take part in the show as they both love skating themselves.

"I have a 13 year old daughter and a 9 year old daughter who are obsessed with ice skating," Myleene said in a statement. "They both ice skate and I stand there and I hold the coats. That’s my role – to tie the shoelaces and hold the coats. Now it's my turn to learn and I can't wait!"

She took to Instagram to announce the news and captioned her picture: "Guess who won't be holding the coats at the side of the rink anymore! I am so, SO excited to be joining the cast of @dancingonice.

"My girls have always wanted me to do this but I've always been too scared someone will skate over my fingers!

"Anyway, I want to make them proud and show them I'm up for a challenge when completely out of my comfort zone but most of all, I want a bum like Jlo!"

This Morning duo, Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, will be back as hosts and the expert panel of Torvill and Dean, John Barrowman and Ashley Banjo will all resume their roles on the judging panel.

Dancing on Ice is expected to return to ITV in 2021.
