Dancing on Ice’s fifth star revealed as Coronation Street actress as soap favourite reveals she has ‘no co-ordination’
CORONATION Street actor Mollie Gallagher is the fifth star to sign up for Dancing on Ice.
The 24-year-old – who plays goth Nina on the ITV soap – was revealed on ITV’s Lorraine show this morning.
“I am great at secrets. I’ll give myself that,” Mollie said.
“I’ve not got the best co-ordination. It’s really funny because everyone who knows me well, knows that. So when they find out I’m doing this…
“That’s another reason why I wanted to do it. I didn’t want to spend my life thinking ‘oh I can’t do this, I can’t do that’.”
“I’m really excited. I’ve not really felt nervous yet, strangely. But being here today, I am now feeling it a little bit!”
