Lorraine exclusively revealed that Ria Hebden is the latest celebrity to sign up to Dancing On Ice.
She’ll be joining Love Island’s Liberty Poole, former Strictly professional Brendan Cole and S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens.
Ria regularly appears on Lorraine’s show as a TV expert.
Lorraine excitedly revealed it was “our very own Ria” as the doors opened to reveal Ria jumping up and down excitedly.
She was clutching an ice skate, clad in a hot pink suit to tell Lorraine all about her exciting news.
Lorraine asked if she had ever been ice skating before, and she said she had only been a few times and even then she was “more interested in the mulled wine.”

“Ria – Congratulations on becoming the next celebrity to appear on Dancing On Ice” with snowflake and ice skate emojis.
“Yes, go on Ria, wonder woman!” exclaimed another.
Ria said she hoped it would inspire plenty of people including mums and dads, and wanted them to know that everything is possible.

Cast members announced so far include Coronation Street’s Sally Dynevor, Happy Mondays star Bez, S Club 7’s Rachel Stevens, former Strictly Come Dancing star Brendan Cole, Olympian Kye Whyte, Ben Foden, Regan Gascoigne and paralympian Stef Reid.
