Dancing On Ice 2021 line up adds musician Lady Leshurr

The rapper, singer and songwriter joined Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely on Kiss Breakfast to announce the news.

Lady Leshurr said: “Oh my gosh I don’t know what I’ve got myself in for but everyone knows me to be that person to just throw myself in at the deep end and I just wing it a lot of the time.”

She added: “I’m petrified, (but) I’ve always wanted to ice skate so what’s better than doing it in front of millions of people. I’m looking forward to having a new skill, (skating) backwards and just showing off in front of my friends.”

Offering some skating advice Perri, who was last year’s runner up, said: “Whenever you can just get on the ice, you’re going to enjoy it, you’re going to have a blast.

He then joked, “If you do a music video on the ice bring me in!”
