Love Island’s Kem Cetinay CONFIRMED for Dancing On Ice line up

Kem Cetinay has today been confirmed as the third celebrity to compete in Dancing on Ice 2018.

The news was confirmed on the show’s official Instagram account (@dancingonice).

Love Island star Kem will meet his professional skating partner in the coming days before embarking on training ahead of the new series, which returns to ITV in the New Year.

Kem is one of 12 celebrities who will be skating to impress the ice panel, consisting of skating legends Torvill and Dean, show favourite Jason Gardiner and one remaining judge, as well as the viewers at home.

Kem, who won Love Island 2017 with partner Amber Davies, said “I still can’t believe I’m going to be on Dancing on Ice! Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d be strapping on a pair of skates and dancing in some lycra.

“Anyone who knows me will know how competitive I am, so I’m going to work very hard to stay on my feet! I can’t wait to get my skates on.”

Kem joins the first two previously confirmed celebrities, Coronation Street actress Brooke Vincent and TV host and singer Cheryl Baker.

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby return to host the show.

As for who else will join the line up, many more names have been rumoured.

Coronation Street actor Antony Cotton, rugby player Max Evans, X Factor singer Jake Quickenden, cricketer Ebony Rainford-Brent, Great British Bake Off winner Candice Brown, Olympian Amber Hill and celebrity psychic Sally Morgan are all tipped to take to the ice rink.

It’s understood that up to 50 potential celebrity contestants had been tried out for the show.

The brand new series of Dancing On Ice 2018 is expected to return to ITV in January.
