EastEnders legend Charlie Brooks has been confirmed as the fifth celebrity in the lineup for the next series of Dancing On Ice.

The 43-year-old actress has played villain Janine Butcher on and off since 1999, with her most recent exit airing two years ago as part of Mick Carter's (Danny Dyer) departure storyline.

Brooks previously appeared on Strictly Come Dancing for the 2011 Christmas special, winning the episode, and was also the winning campmate in the 2012 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

"I'm going to embrace the spray tan," she said on today's Loose Women, adding: "All I want to do is enjoy it and try not to break my leg."

Brooks joins a lineup that also includes Olympic hero Sir Steve Redgrave, reality star Ferne McCann, Coronation Street icon Sam Aston and The Traitors star Mollie Pearce.

The identities of the remaining seven celebrities taking part will be revealed over the coming days.
