Capital DJ Sonny Jay confirms Dancing on Ice spot for 2021 series

Capital DJ Sonny Jay has confirmed he will be taking part on Dancing on Ice 2021.

The star, who recently announced his engagement, confirmed the news to pals and colleagues Roman Kemp and Sian Welby during Friday's show.

Teasing that he had some big news during the show, Sonny eventually revealed: "I'm gonna be doing...Dancing on Ice!"

"I'm so happy for you, mate!" Roman enthused.

Sonny is the sixth celeb to be unveiled for the January show.

"I've even got a pair of skates with me in the studio!" he laughed.

Sonny teased Roman and Sian during his usual "good news" segment, in which the other two have to guess what the big reveal will be.

"I felt bad holding this from you for so long," Sonny admitted.

"Worth it for the big reveal," Sian remarked.

"We at Capital, and all you listening, we're all team Sonny!" declared Roman.

And skating legend and show judge Christopher Dean even sent Sonny a personalised message.

"Hi Sonny," Christopher said, "I hope you're ready to swap the headphones for head bangers.

"Can't wait to have you!"

Lewis Capaldi and Sam Smith sent in messages of support as well.

And the pair had no idea that Sonny would be taking to the ice despite swirling rumours that he'd put his name down.

He played This Morning's theme tune as a clue, with Roman and Sian worrying that it meant Phillip Schofield would be leaving the daytime staple.

But Phil's not going anywhere - rather he was teasing that he would be working closely with Phil and Holly Willoughby, who present Dancing on Ice.

During another recent good news segment, Roman screamed with excitement as Sonny revealed he popped the question to girlfriend Lauren Faith.

Roman announced: "Sonny, you've got some news haven't you?"

And he answered: "I asked my girlfriend to marry me!"

The boys immediately started planning the stag do, Sonny chuckling: "I've got a drinking game, it's called... Drunk? So I've opened this. This is all very kind guys, thanks very much. What's that, Battle Shots?"
