Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson latest celebrity confirmed for Dancing On Ice 2023

Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson is the next celebrity confirmed to be taking part in the new series of Dancing on Ice.

Revealing the news on his YouTube channel, Nile said: “I'm going to be on ITV's Dancing on Ice! This is a really cool thing.

"I've certainly not done much ice-skating but I am so excited for the opportunity. I’m so excited to get into that routine and to feel like an athlete again.”

On what he hopes to bring to the ice, Nile said: “My biggest goal on the show is to do something that no-one has ever done before!”

Nile is the fourth celebrity to be announced, joining a stellar line-up of stars including Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, football legend John Fashanu and actress and DJ Patsy Palmer.

Dancing on Ice returns to ITV and ITVX in 2023 with the stellar new cast.

Eleven celebrities will prepare to embark on the ultimate challenge as they take to the ice each week, skating live in a bid to impress both the panel and viewers at home.

Nile's announcement comes just days after ITV confirmed that footballer John Fashanu was the second contestant for ITV's series, alongside actress and DJ Patsy Palmer.

Former EastEnders actress Patsy will be swapping her home life in Malibu, California, for the ice rink, as announced on Monday.

And Love Island bombshell Ekin-Su is also set to show off her dance skills.

Dancing On Ice won't be her only return to TV though, following her Love Island win in the summer.

Both Ekin-Su and her partner, and fellow winner, Davide Sanclimenti will front a new ITV series, as confirmed this week.

The pair fell in love after a whirlwind journey in the Majorcan villa, where they had some ups and downs but ultimately ended up victorious.

They will now be documenting their travels on their new show for ITV2 titled Ekin-Su & Davide: Homecomings.

The two-part series will see the pair head to Italy first, and back to Davide's hometown of Frosinone.

Davide, who is now based in Manchester, will be back in the place he grew up for the first time following their win on Love Island.

Dancing On Ice 2023 launches early next year on ITV and ITV Hub.
