Actress Claire Sweeney is the second celebrity confirmed to be taking part in the new series of Dancing on Ice. 

Revealing the news exclusively on This Morning today, Claire said: “I’m really looking forward to going to an ice rink with my son and actually being able to skate and not have to use the penguins they give you to help you stay upright!”  

She added: "I've had to wear my boots around the house... I haven't stepped on the ice yet." 

Claire is the second celebrity to be announced, joining the previously announced World Champion Boxer Ricky Hatton MBE.   

Dancing on Ice, created and produced by Lifted Entertainment, returns to ITV and ITVX in 2024 with a new cast. Twelve celebrities prepare to embark on the ultimate challenge as they take to the ice each week, skating live in a bid to impress both the panel and viewers at home. 

Back for a sparkling new series, the greatest show on ice promises more glitz, glamour and show stopping performances as the celebrities brave it all to learn this dangerous discipline. But who has what it takes to master the skill and steps and lift the trophy at the end of the series?
