What has Brendan said about joining Dancing on Ice?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Brendan\u2019s involvement with Dancing on Ice 2022 was revealed on ITV\u2019s Loose Women. \u201cI\u2019m so, so excited,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a while coming now. I\u2019ve known I\u2019d be doing the show for quite some time and I want to get started, I\u2019m so excited to be on the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for his experience on ice, Brendan admits that mastering the skill could be a challenge, saying: \u201cI\u2019ve had one go. I\u2019m a fairly confident person and I like to think I\u2019m going to be good at what I put my hand to or my feet to! I was thinking \u2018OK, I\u2019m going to be fine,\u2019 and I was terrible. I was a bit wobbly. You can expect to be a bit wobbly on ice but I was hoping I was going to be better than I was. I\u2019ve got time to learn. I\u2019m just going to embrace the whole experience and I\u2019m very excited to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n
