Adele Roberts is the latest star to join the Dancing On Ice cast, and is set to make history on the series.<\/p>\n
The BBC Radio 1 host is proud to be making show history as the first contestant with a stoma bag. <\/p>\n
The 44-year-old joked that she hoped that the bag, which she calls Audrey, will behave.<\/p>\n
Audrey is a diva. She is very excited to see you today, so she\u2019s already been problematic.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve not seen her on ice yet, but we\u2019re going to find out,\u2019 she quipped.<\/p>\n
\u2018All I want to say, Audrey, is, I only want to dance on the ice, I don\u2019t want to be doing anything else on the ice. So stay inside please.\u2019<\/p>\n
While speaking about her inclusion on Lorraine, she said: \u2018It\u2019s \u2018bricking it on ice\u2019 for me! <\/p>\n

\u2018I think the hardest part is putting myself out there as I\u00a0usually hide away.\u00a0I did radio as it\u2019s not visual.\u00a0That\u2019s going to be a big challenge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adele, who was diagnosed with stage 2 bowel cancer in\u00a0October 2021 before getting the all-clear in June 2022, said: \u2018After cancer I have my life back;\u00a0I actually can\u2019t wait for the glam!\u2019<\/p>\n
She continued: \u2018Two years ago today I\u2019d just been diagnosed with bowel cancer. I didn\u2019t know what stage cancer I had at the time. I didn\u2019t know if I was going to live or die.<\/p>\n
\u2018To think, two years on I\u2019m sat here with you [Lorraine Kelly] talking about Dancing on Ice \u2013 it\u2019s the greatest feeling in the world.\u2019<\/p>\n
She also revealed that she didn\u2019t know whether she would be partnered with a man or woman. <\/p>\n
One thing\u2019s for sure \u2013 she has the full support of partner Kate Holderness, who is excited to see her on the ice. <\/p>\n
Although, she may want to close her eyes during the famous headbanger which Adele is \u2018totally up for\u2019. <\/p>\n
The move involves being held by the ankles and swung around.<\/p>\n
So who will be joining Adele on the ice? Here are the confirmed contestants so far\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
EastEnders icon Ricky Norwood was announced as the ninth contestant confirmed for Dancing On Ice.<\/p>\n
Appearing on Wednesday\u2019s Loose Women, the 40-year-old said: \u2018I\u2019m very excited! Very scared, but very excited! It\u2019s come at a great time in life.\u2019<\/p>\n
He added: \u2018Being on the ice! I\u2019m apprehensive about the lifts, especially the headbanger.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve got to trust in the process, trust in the training, trust in the trainers.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Comedian Lou Sanders was revealed to be the eighth celebrity taking part.<\/p>\n
Sharing the news with Nihal Arthanayake on Radio 5 Live, the 37-year-old said: \u2018I\u2019m nervous about cracking my head open, or just bashing the old head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I can\u2019t afford to lose any more brain cells. I\u2019m also worried about my partner picking me up, he\u2019s going to have to be very strong and very brave.\u2019<\/p>\n
Lou has appeared on a variety of TV shows, including Taskmaster, Travel Man and Would I Lie to You?, but this will be her first major stint on a reality show.<\/p>\n

\u2018I have been back\u00a0on\u00a0the\u00a0ice\u00a0since just for a quick spin around, I didn\u2019t fall over so that was a good thing. I\u2019ve got a new appreciation for skating.<\/p>\n

\u2018I keep thinking about how I\u2019m going to need to have rhythm while balancing on a thin blade and that\u2019s when I feel the nerves kick in, but this is such an unbelievable opportunity to get totally out of my comfort zone.\u2019<\/p>\n
Luckily, Miles has the support of his MIC cast with the likes of co-star Emily Blackwell\u00a0expressing her excitement over his involvement in the show.<\/p>\n

\u2018My kids love dancing around so hopefully they are going to enjoy watching me dance with blades on my feet!\u2019 he told Susanna and Ed.<\/p>\n
\u2018I think this is going to be a really different experience but one that will be quite exciting. I like a challenge and I needed a reason to go out and do stuff again and here we are.<\/p>\n
\u2018I want to perform something that\u2019s never been done before, that\u2019s my aim. I\u2019ll go 100,000% on this. I\u2019ll try hard, I\u2019m in no way expecting to be good but I will work as hard as I can.\u2019<\/p>\n
