EastEnders star Laila Morse is among the contestants taking part in the new series of ITV's Dancing on Ice.

Morse, who plays Mo Harris in the BBC soap, is the oldest contestant on this year's show at 66 and said her family thought she was "mad" for signing up.

"I can't wait for all of it - the sparkles, false eyelashes and tans. It's like being pampered," she added. "We'll be skating out each Sunday looking like we've been Tangoed."
