Dancing On Ice's Liberty Poole jokes she's as 'flexible as a wooden stick'

Liberty says she can't wait to go on Dancing On Ice despite being as 'flexible as a wooden stick'.

The reality star says she's excited to make her debut on the ITV contest, despite her one small problem.

Liberty, who looked striking on the red carpet at the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards with her hair in a mega long plait, said: "I love skating, but I'm about as flexible as a wooden stick - so I need to improve on that!"

Liberty said had already embarked on a rigorous training regime: "I want to do well," she said. "I'm training Monday to Friday and trying to get good.

"I'm enjoying it and even though I know how to skate, you have to forget what you know and start all over again.

"Hopefully everything goes alright."

Liberty also opened up about how much her life has changed since her time in the famous villa.

The former Nando’s waitress’ life did a complete 360 when she landed a spot on the iconic ITV show, and she couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing opportunities she’s landed since.

Liberty admitted to us that her confidence has grown tenfold since she appeared on the show.

“Wow it’s been amazing. I can’t believe I’m going to be on Dancing On Ice to be honest. It’s been overwhelming. Walking down the street and people knowing who I am - I still haven’t got used to that."

Opening up about her chances on DOI, Liberty said: “I used to skate when I was younger. But nothing like this. So it’s quite crazy to me that I’ve been tipped to win. We’ll see what happens. I do have hope and I love to dance, but I’m up against some serious competition."

Ahead of the amazing awards, Liberty admitted that she was excited to see her former Love Island co-stars.

Having such a busy schedule, the blonde beauty has found it tough to keep in contact with everyone but there’s one person who has been by her side since the day she left the villa.

“Kaz is my number one girl. I’ve spoken to her every single day since I left. We’re best friends and she’s my friend for life,” she gushed.
