I\u2019d go to ice discos when I was 15, 16 (years old) and you\u2019d always see these kids that could do pirouettes that had a proper dancing background. I like the idea of learning a new sport and a new skill. I\u2019m quite competitive as well so I like the challenge of competing against others doing something that I\u2019m not necessarily good at!\u201d<\/p>\n Dancing on Ice returns to ITV in 2022.
