I am also in awe of anyone dealing with cancer. The courage, the strength, the determination\u2026 and at times, the humour you have shown has been nothing short of superhuman.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ve inspire[d] me and given me the fire to never give up.\u201d<\/p> Roberts is now taking on Dancing on Ice, and has had her fair share of wobbles on the rink.<\/p>\n When asked how her training has been, the former BBC Radio 1 DJ exclusively told RadioTimes.com<\/a>: \u201cI don\u2019t understand gravity, obviously.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s so different to running, because I love running and that\u2019s all about friction, but on the ice you have to glide, you have to learn to be graceful.\u201d<\/p>\n The presenter went on to praise her partner, former competitive ice dancer Mark Hanretty, for helping her every step of the way since training began.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMark has taught me to get my head up, to just present myself and know my body better,\u201d she told RadioTimes.com\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWith what I\u2019ve been through health-wise, I think I was a bit disconnected from my body, but Mark has helped me reclaim my body and be able to fully function.\u201d<\/p>\n Dancing on Ice continues on Sunday 21st January at 6:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.<\/strong><\/p>\n Looking for something else to watch?
