Who else is in the line-up?
Siva joins the likes of Michelle Heaton, Carley Stenson and Darren Harriott for the 2023 line-up.
On Monday, Michelle announced her signing during an appearance on Lorraine.
She said: “I’m so excited, I can’t believe it.
“I’ve always wanted to do it but I know I would never have been able to complete anything because of the way I was 18 months ago, so I’m really truly grateful that I’ve got it this year when I’m a lot stronger.”
She also said: “I’m not a skater. I’ve been on the ice just to get my feet moving but tomorrow is the first day I’ll actually be doing it.”
Meanwhile, also joining the show is Joey Essex, The Vivienne, Mollie Gallagher, Nile Wilson, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, John Fashanu and Patsy Palmer.
During an interview on This Morning, reality star Joey opened up about why he’s doing the show.
He said: “I’m already in training now. Well, not fully on the ice, but in the gym.
“I’m just trying to get the athletic side of me back.”
Elsewhere, Coronation Street actress Mollie confirmed her appearance during an appearance on Lorraine last week.
She said: “I’ve not got the best coordination. Everyone that knows me well knows that.
“But that is another reason why I wanted to do it.”
