Hollyoaks’ Stephanie Waring is the latest celeb to sign up for new series of Dancing On Ice
The actress is the latest star to join the rebooted ITV reality show
HOLLYOAKS actress Stephanie Waring is the latest star to sign up for Dancing on Ice.
The Sun Online can exclusively reveal that Steph - who plays Cindy Cunningham in the Channel 4 soap - has joined the line up for the rebooted ITV reality show.
The news comes over a month after The Sun first reported the 39-year-old was battling it out for a place on the show against her co-stars Sarah Jayne Dunn, 35, and Anna Passey, 33.
Despite all three actresses wanting to take part, they had reportedly been told by bosses only one of them will make it, and it looks like Steph has won out.
A source said at the time: “Dancing on Ice bosses have reached out to nearly 50 celebrities in total about taking part in the new series.
“There’s a big pool of talent, but only those who can prove they have the ability to actually tackle some of the harder moves and the training will make it in.
“They really want a glamorous soap star in the show, and three of the Hollyoaks girls are in with a shout but only one of them is going to make it.”
As well as Steph, The Sun Online can also reveal British track and field athlete Perri Shakes-Drayton has also signed up for the show.
The 28-year-old won a 2012 World Indoor Championship gold medal in the 4 x 400 metre relay as well as silver and bronze medals in the same event at the World Championships.
Other names already signed up to the show include former X Factor and I'm a Celebrity star Jake Quickenden, as well as Love Island's Kem Cetinay.
Original hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby are also returning alongside ice skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
Meanwhile Jason Gardiner confirmed he would be returning as a judge on the rebooted show last week during an appearance on Lorraine.
