Collins has said the intense training to be ready for the ice could be an opportunity to lose weight.
She told Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: “The training is going to be intense. But I might come out of it with a dream body at the end of the show. You never know.”
The reality star said she and James Argent had decided they needed to lose weight while on holiday, and that her weight had got “out of hand”.
