Actor and singer Jason Donovan first rose to fame in Australian soap Neighbours and more recently was in the West End production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Jason was live on This Morning to confirm the news that he will be joining the competition in the New Year.

Chatting to hosts Holly and Phil, Jason told the pair he signed up because “I’ve always been a big fan of winter sports, whether it’s ski-ing, skating, snowboarding…après ski-ing!”

He went on to say: “My daughter Molly is very excited about me doing shapes on the dancefloor or maybe not…depending on how it goes! And also the opportunity to spend a Sunday night with you guys.”

Jason added: “Skating is all about balance and confidence. I’ve done a little bit of skating in my youth, in Australia surprisingly in the heat of an Australian summer. I’ve surfed, I’ve skied a lot so I guess I’ll bring a little bit of that confidence.”

Also confirmed for Dancing On Ice 2021 are musician & host Myleene Klass, singer & actress Denise Van Outen, soap star Joe-Warren Plant and actress Faye Brookes.
