Dancing On Ice 2022 line-up so far as Love Island star and Paul Gascgoine's son sign up

The Dancing On Ice line-up is growing by the second with a Love Island star and Paul Gasgoine's son now signed up.

Liberty Poole will be swapping the Spanish sunshine seen in the villa for the cold ice rink when the ITV competition returns next year.

She will be joining dancer Regan Gascoigne and rugby star Ben Foden on the ice for the 2022 series.

On swapping the sun for ice, Liberty said, "I grew up watching Dancing On Ice and my mum actually used to be a figure skater. I ice skate as a hobby sometimes so I can get around the rink but I can't do any tricks, no pirouetting or anything so I'm really looking forward to pushing myself and learning as much as I possibly can.

"Not just skating around the ice but actually dancing on ice. Bring it on!"

Twenty-five-year-old Regan, the son of England legend Paul Gascoigne, added: "Obviously I dance and love dancing but it’s the skill of this. I’ve always wanted to do it. Always! Ever since I was a kid!"

Returning to ITV in the new year, DOI will see twelve celebrities taking on the challenge of learning to dance on ice.

Liberty, Ben and Regan will be joining Coronation Street legend Sally Dynevor, Happy Mondays dancer Bez and Paraympian Stef Reid who have also confirmed that they are taking part.

Sally, who plays Sally Metcalfe in the ITV soap, said she was "so scared" about taking part when appearing on ITV's Lorraine on Monday.

On why she's signed up, she said she's "not getting any younger" before adding: "I just want to do this for myself. Give me a bit of confidence and do something different."

Bez's place on the show was confirmed on This Morning as he appeared out of a snowball on the programme.

The maraca-shaking musician joked: "At the moment, it’s more like Bambi on ice, not Dancing On Ice. How I got picked, I don’t know because I was absolutely awful at the audition – but they must have seen something there, some potential."
