Footballer-turned-pundit Anton Ferdinand and comedian Josh Jones have been revealed as the next stars in the lineup for Dancing On Ice 2025.
ITV has been gradually revealing the identities of the 12 celebs taking to the rink over the last few days and has previously announced Olympic legend Sir Steve Redgrave, The Traitors star Mollie Pearce, Coronation Street favourite Sam Aston, reality TV star Ferne McCann and EastEnders legend Charlie Brooks.
Joining them will be Jones, 31, who is known for his camp comedy and is a regular face on panel shows such as 8 Out Of 10 Cats.
"I've not got any skating experience whatsoever," Jones admitted to Gaydio. "I did it once for a date years ago and I wasn't very good, I was holding onto the railings the entire time and we aren't together now.
"My dancing isn't great either. For a gay man I have no rhythm, I struggle to clap along to a beat, so this will be fun."

The seventh celebrity in the lineup is Ferdinand, 39 - younger brother of ex-England star Rio Ferdinand - who hung up his boots five years ago and now commentates on the game for broadcasters including Sky Sports and talkSPORT.
"I decided to sign up for the show because it's a challenge, first and foremost," he told talkSPORT.
"I'm in a new phase of my life since retiring from football and the one of the things I've missed about playing is the structure it gives you.
"Dancing On Ice will give me that focus but I'm also doing it for my daughter because she loves dance and performing arts. My son always had my football to shout about so this will give my daughter and me something to share."
The new series is due to begin on ITV as usual in January.
