Speaking to the Mirror, he said: “I’ve been there 15 years – and a change is as good as a rest. I love Coronation Street, it’s been really good to me.
“But Weatherfield is a community where mundane things happen as well as the rapes and murders that go on.”
He added: “It’s a routine and an institution. So doing something like Dancing On Ice gives you a different take on life. You meet new people.”
Antony – and the other 11 celebrities who’ll be hitting the ice – is currently in training before the show hits our screens again in the New Year.
Meanwhile, DOI’s Mr Nasty, Jason Gardiner, has warned contestants not to over-indulge in ANYTHING over the Christmas break.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: “They need to avoid alcohol, any overindulgence on Christmas Day and sex.
“Absolutely no sex. It drains you of your chi.”
