ITV has announced that Brendan Cole will waltz his way onto Dancing On Ice in 2022. The professional ballroom dancer from New Zealand is the eighth celebrity to join the line-up.
Brendan confirmed the news on Loose Women on October 6th, saying: “I’m so, so excited. It’s been a while coming now. I’ve known I’d be doing the show for quite some time and I want to get started, I’m so excited to be on the show.”
Speaking about his experience, Brendan admits he “had one go”. He continued: “You can expect to be a bit wobbly on ice but I was hoping I was going to be better than I was. I’ve got time to learn. I’m just going to embrace the whole experience.”
“To be back on a big stage - and this is a very big, very cold stage - I cannot tell you how excited I am.”
Brendan joins Love Island’s Liberty Poole, pop star Rachel Stevens, Paraympian Stef Reid, Coronation Street legend Sally Dynevor, Happy Mondays dancer Bez, rugby star Ben Foden and Paul Gascoigne’s son Regan Gascoigne.
