Comedian and actor Rufus Hound has been named as the 12th and final contestant in the lineup for next year's Dancing On Ice.
The 41-year-old joins musician Myleene Klass, Emmerdale actor Joe-Warren Plant, TV presenter Denise van Outen, Capital FM's Sonny Jay and former TOWIE star Billie Shepherd on the show, which returns to ITV in January.
Also appearing are pop icon Jason Donovan, former Winter Olympian Graham Bell, ex-Coronation Street actress Faye Brookes, rapper Lady Leshurr, former athlete Colin Jackson and feisty WAG Rebekah Vardy.
Discussing his participation on Martin and Roman's Sunday Best today, Hound said: "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!'"
More than 40 celebrities are thought to have auditioned for the show earlier this year.
