Mollie Pearce was confirmed on ITV's Lorraine after The Sun was first to reveal her new telly role.

The 22-year-old, who found fame on BBC game show The Traitors earlier this year, said she will soon be taking to the ice to prepare for the live shows in January.

Mollie appeared in the Lorraine studio saying: "I haven't started training yet, but I am raring to go now.

"The thought is scary but I want to get started."

Mollie told how her mum took her ice skating when she was young, so she is hoping to tap back into that experience.

She added how she was inspired by BBC Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts, who has a stoma like her, and competed on the previous DOI season.

Mollie, who was also born with one hand, added: "It's my normal, I was born like it.

"I have never let it get in the way before so I'm not going to let it start now."

She added: "Me and my partner will adapt to it."

The model then left fans stunned as she admitted she ";wanted to do the headbanger" - a jaw-droppingly tricky routine on the ice.

Mollie crashed out of the hit BBC mystery game The Traitors red-faced after putting her faith in treacherous winner Harry Clark, who swiped the £95k prize pot from under her nose.

She won hearts when she told on Claudia Winkleman’s murder mystery how she was born with one hand.

In her late teens she began working as a disability model.

Mollie also lives with a stoma after surgery to remove her colon at the age of 18 following a decade with ulcerative colitis.

Mollie's big reveal came just hours after former Towie star Ferne McCann confirmed she has also joined the line-up in a candid chat on Monday's Good Morning Britain.

Ferne, 34, rose to fame on Towie in 2013 and was a regular until 2016.

She has since appeared on other shows, including This Morning, Loose Women, I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, and Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

Since leaving Towie she has filmed her own reality show Ferne McCann: My Family & Me, but recently quit the series.

Speaking about signing up to Dancing On ice, she told GMB today: "I am so excited. I am competitive!"

MEDAL MAN

Olympian Sir Steve Redgrave was the third famous face to be announced for DOI in a mega Monday for reality TV fans.

The five-time gold medalist was announced on ITV's This Morning.

Hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley teased his name throughout the morning, holding up clues like gold medals for viewers.

Asked why he'd signed up to the tough show by Ben, Steve, 62, said: "I don't know.

"But earlier this year on the series it was Torvil and Dean's 40th anniversary of winning their gold medal, and it's my 40th anniversary as well ... and we're friends.

"Some of my friends are saying it's a midlife crisis, but I'm too old for a midlife crisis!"

MORE SIGNINGS

Coronation Street star Sam Aston was the final name of the morning to be announced.

Sam, 31, was announced on ITV's This Morning today and appeared in the studio dressed as a snowman.

Whipping off his mask, the soap star told them: "I was glad to take that off, I'm sweating!"

Asked why he'd signed up to the ITV skating show, Sam said: "It's something I always wanted to do. It came about and it was one of them. I hadn't thought about it in the past, the press office mentioned it and I thought yeah."

Sam said he had to audition, telling the presenters: "They basically stand you on the ice. But I got a real buzz experiencing it a little bit."

"My son is pretty excited about it, he's only young but when I told him he said, 'can I come, can I come?' He's only four!"

We previously told how a legendary soap villain has also signed up.

The Sun exclusively reported how Charlie Brooks, 43, who played conniving Janine Butcher in Albert Square, will also be joining the show.

It comes after she won I’m a Celebrity . . . in 2012.

A telly source said: “Charlie’s a brilliant signing.

"She has a huge fanbase from EastEnders and has tons of personality and feisty energy.
