In the sneak peek, Libby is holding up her MBE and her glittering engagement ring is also on display.

Dancing On Ice simply wrote: "Another amazing addition to the Class of 2020..."

Fans speculated that Libby could be anyone from Carol Vorderman to Lorraine Kelly, with Rachel Riley, Laura Tobin, and Victoria Pendleton also thrown into the mix.

Nobody has guessed Libby's identity, with the sportswoman getting engaged to fiance Dan Powell in October 2017 and being awarded an MBE in December of that same year.

They welcomed baby Edward in April of this year, with the star regularly sharing snaps of her bundle of joy with fans on Instagram.

Libby represented Great Britain in the 2008 Summer Paralympics, winning a silver medal in the T12 100m race.

In 2016 she won Gold in the Rio Paralympic Games, where she broke the world record in the 100m T11, and won the T11 200m.

The star suffers from Stargardt's Macular Dystrophy, a deteriorating eye condition, and is registered blind.
