Kem’s set to start training with his professional partner soon ahead of the new series beginning in 2018.

The winner of Love Island 2017 has said he’s thrilled to be joining the show: “I still can’t believe I’m going to be on Dancing on Ice!

“Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d be strapping on a pair of skates and dancing in some lycra.

“Anyone who knows me, will know how competitive I am, so I’m going to work very hard to stay on my feet! I can’t wait to get my skates on.”

Kem was victorious on this year’s Love Island alongside girlfriend Amber Davies. They have stayed together since the show ended, so no doubt she’ll be cheering him on from the sidelines.

As will best mate Chris Hughes, who Kem has had his own follow-on reality show with and they’ve even released a rap single together!

Kem joins Corrie star Brooke Vincent and Bucks Fizz singer Cheryl Baker in the line up.

Cheryl was unveiled on Lorraine earlier today and said she’s wondering if she’ll live to regret taking on the challenging show at her age.

She revealed: “I am feeling nervous, we started training yesterday and they were giving me all these things to do and movements and telling me to go on one leg. I don’t know how to do that!”

She joked then “is it too late to say no?”

Coronation Street star Brooke Vincent, aka Sophie Webster, was confirmed as the first celebrity to put her skates on on Monday’s This Morning.

Holly Willoughby, who returns to host the skating contest with Phillip Schofield, said that they had to reveal Brooke first as she’s so bad at keeping secrets!

Brooke said: “I’ve watched the show for years.

“I’ve always thought it would be so good to do it, and learn such a massive skill and dress in those outfits and have my hair all done. I’m so excited.”
