Track and field star Reid joins the already announced line-up of Coronation Street actress Sally Dynevor and Happy Mondays star Bez, whose real name is Mark Berry.

According to The Sun, former S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens and Regan Gascoigne, son of former England footballer Paul, are also believed to be joining the line-up.

Dancing On Ice will return to ITV in the new year with 12 celebrities taking to the rink to impress the viewing public and judging panel.

However, John Barrowman, who joined the judging panel in 2019, will not be returning.

Earlier this year, he admitted exposing himself to colleagues.
