The singer and model was recently removed from the Channel 4 show on medical grounds after passing out in the hot Thailand heat.
His casting on the ITV programme also follows a year of heartbreak for the married star, who lost his The Wanted bandmate Tom Parker earlier this year.
Tom tragically died in March at the age of 33, having previously been diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer.
A source told The Sun: “Siva is a great signing for the show – The Wanted still have a huge loyal fanbase.

“After all the boys have been through this year with losing their bandmate Tom Parker, fans will be willing him to go all the way in Tom’s memory.
“It’s also going to be a very busy year for Siva next year, as he just wrapped filming on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which will air next autumn, so that’s two big shows for 2023 under his belt.”
Dancing On Ice will return to ITV and ITVX early next year.
