Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton has been named as the 10th celebrity in the lineup for the next series of Dancing On Ice.
The 43-year-old is about to mark 18 months sober after a battle with alcoholism - struggles she has spoken about candidly in the media.
"I'm so excited - I can't believe it. Me and the kids are such huge fans of the show in general," said Heaton, who is also thought to have recently taken part in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
"I've always wanted to do it but I know I would never have been able to complete anything because of the way I was 18 months ago, so I'm really truly grateful that I've got it this year when I'm a lot stronger."
Heaton joins a lineup that also includes EastEnders star turned DJ Patsy Palmer, ex-footballer John Fashanu, Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu, retired Team GB gymnast Nile Wilson, comedian Darren Harriott, Coronation Street star Mollie Gallagher, West End performer Carley Stenson, TOWIE legend Joey Essex and RuPaul's Drag Race winner The Vivienne.
The new series launches on ITV in January. body check tags ::
