Actor and comedian Rufus Hound revealed the news on Martin and Roman’s Sunday Best (ITV, 8.30am Sundays) this morning.

Rufus joked: “I’m doing it for the money. I don’t know if you’ve heard but about six months ago this global pandemic hit and made just about everything I’ve ever done to earn a pound note disappear!

“And so this point has arrived and they said ‘we’ll pay you’ and I said ‘do you know something? I love ice skating!”

He went on to say: “Training starts in a couple of weeks. I’ve spent the last twenty years in the pub mainly!”

Sincerely, he added: “The God’s honest truth is, and you [Martin Kemp] are actually a magnificent example of this, as life goes on you find yourself at a moment where you go right I could do this, I could do that, I could have a go and actually the adventure of it is doing things that you might start off thinking not in a million years and then fate conspires and you end up doing the most fun things.”

Rufus is the twelfth and final celebrity on the Dancing On Ice line up.
