Steph told AOL Build of her new challenge: “It’s quite a daunting challenge. The first day was pretty tough. I thought I’d be better than I was. I fell over once.
“It’s very technical; it’s the way you hold yourself, the positioning of your feet. Balancing is the hardest thing to do. I thought ‘well I can do yoga, I can obviously skate on ice….no Steph you can’t!”
Stephanie, who has played Cindy on and off for over twenty years, joins celeb skaters, Brooke Vincent, Cheryl Baker, Kem Cetinay, Candice Brown, Max Evans, Jake Quickenden, Monty Panesar, Alex Beresford, Donna Air, Perri Shakes-Drayton and Antony Cotton.
Stephanie completes the line up.
Earlier this week, former DOI champion Ray Quinn, warned the new celeb skaters of the dangers of the show.
Ray warned the newbies how dangerous scooting around on the ice can actually be – revealing a horrific injury.
He told viewers of Good Morning Britain that while the show was great fun to take part in, the new bunch of celebs have no idea what they’re letting themselves in for.
He also revealed that he was almost very seriously injured when his partner, professional skater Maria Filippov’s blade hit his head. Ouch.
Ray said: “I’m looking forward to watching it. Jake Quickenden is my mate and he’s doing it.
“They have got no idea what they’re letting themselves in for.”
