Sports star John Fashanu has been announced as the second contestant for Dancing on Ice 2023.

Speaking about joining the show, the 60-year-old former professional footballer said: "I'm so excited to be a part of Dancing on Ice! I don’t think it’ll come as a surprise to people that I’m very competitive – I am definitely in it to win it.

"And this may be one of the scariest things I’ve ever signed up for but I couldn’t be more ready for the challenge!"

On Monday, EastEnders star Patsy Palmer was announced as the first contestant for Dancing on Ice 2023.

The upcoming series will see 11 celebrities taking to the ice in the hopes of being crowned winner and following in the fancy footwork of previous victors such as Jake Quickenden, James Jordan, Joe Swash and this year's winner Regan Gascoigne.
