Trisha Goddard has said she loves “physical stuff” as she became the 11th celebrity contestant confirmed for ITV’s Dancing On Ice.
The 61-year-old TV presenter appeared on Good Morning Britain to confirm she will be taking to the ice when the show returns early next year.
She said in a statement: “I love physical stuff. Every day I bike ride, I weight train, I love any physical thing. I learnt to ski at 37, I learnt to roller blade at 42. I’m 62 in December. I thought ‘Why not?’”
She can talk the talk, but can she skate the skate? 🎤 We're so excited @trishagoddard will be joining us on the ice! #DancingOnIce pic.twitter.com/XpSY9PJFSB
