“[I've got] absolutely no rhythm and no balance,” he told OK! Magazine at the Pride of Britain Awards. “I start training tomorrow. I'm already two Espresso Martinis in – I'm stopping now [as] two was enough!”
Stephen’s participation in the show was confirmed via an appearance on Lorraine, in which he said: “The last time I was on the ice I think I was 14 [years old], so almost 40 years ago. I have been back on the ice since just for a quick spin-around.
“I didn't fall over, so that was a good thing! I’ve got a new appreciation for skating – I can see how truly difficult it is. From the comfort of my sofa, I was probably a little too judgmental. I didn’t realise how hard it is!”

Stephen will be joined by Amber Davies, Ricky Hatton, Miles Nazaire, Ricky Norwood, Adele Roberts, Greg Rutherford, Lou Sanders, Hannah Spearritt, Claire Sweeney, Roxy Shahidi and Ryan Thomas.
They will all hope to impress the judging panel of Ashley Banjo, Oti Mabuse, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, while the show will now be hosted by Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern following Phillip Schofield’s resignation from ITV earlier this year.
Dancing on Ice series will premiere on ITV1 and ITVX in January 2024.
