Dancing On Ice bosses may have three months to go until the show starts, but they've already begun announcing which celebrities will appear on the 2019 series. The show, which was revived in January 2018 after a four-year hiatus, was a major success and saw former The X Factor star Jake Quickenden win the show with his partner Vanessa Bauer.

We already know that TOWIE legend Gemma Collins and former EastEnders star Richard Blackwood will be on the show, along with ex-Strictly Come Dancing star James Jordan and Westlife singer Brian McFadden.

And now, show bosses have revealed that Loose Women star Saira Khan will be joining next year's cast on today's episode of Loose Women.

She said, "I'm in it to win it! I thought 'I'm too old, I can't do it, I'm going to fall.' And my little boy said, 'Have you heard yourself mum?' He shamed me into it. I'm doing this for my kids. Honestly I cannot skate. I've never been on ice skates."
