Britain’s award-winning rapper Lady Leshurr has been confirmed as the tenth celebrity skater to take part in ITV's Dancing on Ice 2021.

 

The Birmingham musician, who rose to fame with the help of YouTube, released her third EP, Quaranqueen, in June.

 

He said: "I don't what I've got myself in for, but everyone knows me to be someone who just throws themself in at the deep end. I just wing it a lot of the time."

 

"I'm petrified, but I've always wanted to ice skate so what's better than doing it in front of millions of people.

 

"I'm looking forward to having a new skill and just showing off in front of my friends."

 

The show, which starts filming in January, will see 12 celebrities skate live with their professional partners as they try to impress the judges - Torvill and Dean, John Barrowman and Ashley Banjo - and the voting viewers at home.

 

The rest of the line-up to date is: British Olympics sprinter Colin Jackson who won two 110m hurdles gold medals at the World Athletics Championships, as well as silver at the Seoul Olympics in 1988, England striker Jamee Vardy’s wife, Rebekah, who appeared on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2017, former Olympics skier and broadcaster Graham Bell, Capital Radio DJ Sonny Jay, actor and singer Jason Donovan, who rose to fame in the 1980s on the Australian soap Neighbours, Faye Brookes who is best known for playing Kate Connor in Coronation Street, actress, singer and presenter Denise Van Outen, Emmerdale star Joe-Warren Plant and musician and presenter Myleene Klass.

 

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby will return to host the programme.
