Liberty X star Michelle Heaton has been revealed as the 10th celebrity starring on Dancing On Ice 2023.
The singer, who has battled addiction, confessed she would never have been able to compete on the ITV skating show 18 months ago.
But she is now grateful she has been able to take part on the show this year as she is now feeling a “lot stronger”.

“Me and the kids are such huge fans of the show in general. I’ve always wanted to do it but I know I would never have been able to complete anything because of the way I was 18 months ago, so I’m really truly grateful that I’ve got it this year when I’m a lot stronger.”
She confessed: “I have no idea what I’m doing. Tomorrow is officially the first day in my skates made for me.”
Michelle, 43, has suffered from addiction but managed to quit alcohol in January 2021.
She revealed her Liberty X bandmates were “super excited” about her doing the show, adding: “They were super excited for me. She [Jessica Taylor] had such a good time on the show and she said “just be me.”
The proud mum also said her kids are “buzzing” to see her on the show.
