Love Island star Liberty Poole, rugby player Ben Foden and Regan Gascoigne, the son of footballer Paul Gascoigne, are the next string of celebrities announced for Dancing On Ice 2022.

Reality TV star Poole was coupled up with Jake Cornish in the latest series of Love Island. They were coupled up since the first episode of the show, but gave up a place in the final as they called time on their romance and left the villa.

Poole said: "I grew up watching Dancing On Ice and my mum actually used to be a figure skater.

"I ice skate as a hobby sometimes so I can get around the rink but I can't do any tricks, no pirouetting or anything, so I’m really looking forward to pushing myself and learning as much as I possibly can.

"Not just skating around the ice, but actually dancing on ice. Bring it on!"

Regan Gascoigne, son of former England footballer Paul, is a professional dancer and Paul's son with ex-wife Sheryl.

His famous father has spoken of his pride after Regan came out as bisexual.

Former S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens has also been tipped to join the show, according to The Sun newspaper.

Stevens shot to fame as part of the chart-topping band between 1999 and 2003.

She later embarked on a successful solo career and finished second on Strictly Come Dancing in 2008.

Paralympian Stef Reid became the third celebrity contestant confirmed to be taking part in the 2022 run of Dancing On Ice.

News of her joining the ITV show was announced on Good Morning Britain.

She said: "I have some really exciting news. I'm going to be picking up a new sport this winter and it comes with a little bit of showbiz.

"I’m going to be a contestant on Dancing on Ice and it’s a little bit scary but I cannot wait!"

Other confirmed contestants on Dancing On Ice, includeHappy Mondays star Bez and Coronation Street actress Sally Dynevor.
