GBBO’s Candice Brown, Jake Quickenden and rugby player Max Evans confirmed to compete in Dancing on Ice
They will be joining Brooke Vincent, Cheryl Baker, Kem Cetinay and six other skaters competing for the top prize
CANDICE Brown, Jake Quickenden and Max Evans have been confirmed as the fourth, fifth and sixth celebrities to sign up for Dancing On Ice.
The Great British Bake Off star, X Factor contestant Jake and the professional rugby player will join Brooke Vincent, Cheryl Baker and Kem Cetinay on the show.
The 12 celebrities will be skating to impress the ice panel, consisting of skating legends Torvill and Dean, and the viewers at home.
Jake made his announcement during an appearance on Lorraine this morning.
He told her: “The coach is amazing but he thought I was on the beer the night before because for the first 10 minutes I was all over the place.
“The last thing I want to do is kick anyone in the face or drop anyone. I'm quite big so they'll be asking me to do lifts and that. But I'm more nervous about Jason, I've met him before and he was lovely but I've never had to ice skate in front of him.
“I'm used to it from The X Factor, I can take the criticism.”
Speaking about signing up to the competition, Candice said “It's nerve wracking.
“I start my training today. I take my first steps on the ice later on. My friends call me Bambi on Ice and that's just normal day to day!”
Max explained: “I haven't done any skating since I was a kid, and this is completely different having to skate on live television.
“I've had two training sessions which have hurt my feet a lot. We've all had a dance, which is familiar territory, but skating is so not...”
The Sun Online exclusively revealed the full line up in July this year, but the stars have only just started to be officially named by the show.
An exact air date is still to be confirmed – but all previous series’ started airing in January each year, suggesting series 10 will air from January 2018.
The show is said to have a “fresh look” as it re-brands after several years away from the screens.
Ice skating legend Jayne Torvill declared the show will need to up its game as reality TV has raised the bar over the past few years.
Jason is making his grand return to Dancing On Ice and joins the judging panel alongside some fan favourites.
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean managed to swap their coaching roles for judges seats in a move that fans have been delighted by.
Ashley Banjo, the Diversity founder and Dance, Dance, Dance judge has also been confirmed to be joining the panel.
There has been quite a mixture of experts and celebs on the Ice Panel in the past.
