Chat show host Trisha Goddard has been unveiled as the eleventh celebrity contestant for the next series of Dancing On Ice.
She was confirmed for the ITV skating show earlier today as she appeared on Good Morning Britain – and it sounds like the super-fit TV star can’t wait for the physical challenge.
“I love physical stuff,” she said.
“Every day I bike ride, I weight train, I love any physical thing.”

Trisha continued: “I learned to ski at 37, I learned to roller blade at 42. I’m 62 in December. I thought: ‘Why not?'”
However, some viewers were concerned about Trisha’s experience after she admitted to learning to ice skate “as a kid”.
And when asked if she is still any good by host Piers Morgan, Trisha chuckled modestly – but hinted she is still able to move around on the ice without topping over.
“Unfair advantage as she can skate,” grumbled one person on Twitter.

There is still one final celebrity to be revealed as getting their skates on alongside the famous faces already lined up.
