Michelle Heaton becomes first celebrity to put her name forward for new series of Dancing On Ice
The Liberty X singer said being part of the show is on her 'bucket list'
MICHELLE Heaton has become the first celebrity to put her name forward for the new series of Dancing On Ice.
The Liberty X star admitted taking part in the show would be a dream come true, saying she would do anything to get her name on the line-up.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun’s Bizarre column she said: "Dancing On Ice would be my ultimate.
“As a performer you want to do something that you can learn fresh so you build up your CV.
“I've never done ice skating and I've never professionally been taught dancing.

“It is one of those shows that I would love to tick off my bucket list. It would be really wonderful to learn how to do something like that.
"Lets hope I can pull some strings."
Jayne Torvill confirmed this week Dancing On Ice will return to telly screens, revealing the ITV show will have a new and “refreshed” look when it relaunches.
The Olympian confessed that Steven Gerrard is top of her wish list to take part as she urged the retired footballer to sign up.
She said: “I love that it’s coming back, it’s great news – I’m really looking forward to it.
“The show will definitely be refreshed but the basics will be the same, we will still be teaching celebrities how to skate.
“It was a different sort of platform being in the studio – we like to be creative and come up with new things. There’s a new bar to set when the show returns.
“My son is a massive Steven Gerrard fan; he wants him to do Dancing On Ice as he’s retired now.
“He’s also keen on David Beckham taking part but I told him that’s unlikely.”
The Sun revealed this month the show was in talks to return following a three-year break.
The popular programme saw Olympic champs Jayne and Christopher Dean teach celebs to skate competitively.
It was hosted by Phillip Schofield and Christine Lampard, but was axed after it's ninth series.
