Coronation Street star Faye Brookes has been confirmed as the fourth contestant on Dancing On Ice.
The 33-year-old actress, who left the cobblestones in 2019, is now joining Denise Van Outen, Myleene Klass and Joe-Warren Plant as competitors on the ice rink.
Appearing on Thursday’s episode of Lorraine to announce the news, Faye said, ‘I’m so excited! We had to go over the basics, they filmed us too.
From the cobblestones to the ice rink! Coronation Street star Faye Brookes has been confirmed as the fourth Dancing On Ice contestant
‘The producers know you and this is the first time that I think people will just see me, not being a character … Just being me – Faye!’
Dancing On Ice’s official Instagram also confirmed the news and added a statement from the actress, which read: ‘I’m a trained dancer, but trying to put something I already know very well on skates is pretty scary.’
During her interview with Lorraine Kelly, Faye also admitted that she already has a “little” experience since her father used to play ice hockey.
She confessed: ‘I have a little, it could be Bambi but my dad used to play ice hockey so we did it often. There were no official lessons, but we had fun as a weekend activity. ‘

Discussing how the show will be filmed with the current guidelines amid the coronavirus crisis, Faye explained: ‘They are taking all precautions, we will just have to be safe and be careful.’
‘I’m going to be in a bubble with my professional partner whom I don’t know yet. It is stressful but still so excited. We need to make sure that we keep everyone safe. ‘
Faye, who was previously engaged to Gareth Gates, said sweetly that she has loved having her personal trainer boyfriend, Joe Davis, by her side during training.
She said: ‘Ice skating is an Olympic sport, but I am up to the challenge. Having Joe by my side training was the icing on the cake. ‘
Hurrah! Panelists for Loose Women revealed that Denise, 46, would be appearing on Dancing On Ice on Wednesday’s show.
Faye also revealed that she will seek advice from former Coronation Street co-star Brooke Vincent, who appeared on Dancing On Ice in 2018.
She joked: ‘As soon as this interview is over, I can contact them, but obviously I had to keep it to myself. It’s the biggest secret I’ve ever kept in my life!
I saw Brooke yesterday and I was desperate to tell her, but I thought one more day I could. It will be my first text message after this interview is over. ‘
Faye left Coronation Street in 2019 after four years of playing Kate Connor on the cobblestones.
Discussing whether she would return, the soap opera star admitted: ‘It’s been a year since I left Corrie.
“I would love to go back and I loved my time there, they will be very surprised by the news, but now we can celebrate and hope to create something magical.”
So far, other confirmed stars for the show include Emmerdale’s Joe-Warren Plant, Denise Van Outen, and Myleene Klass.
Revealed! Joe Warren-Plant has been confirmed as the second star to sign up for the upcoming Dancing On Ice series, which will take place in the new year.
Panelists for Loose Women revealed that Denise, 46, would be appearing on Dancing On Ice on Wednesday’s show.
However, panelist Linda, 62, sadly took it to the mail by confirming that she is heading to the ice ahead of the big reveal.
Using innuendo, the Loose Women panel opened a series of envelopes containing a photo of Denise Welch, a transit van, and a fried breakfast, to mark her time at The Big Breakfast, but Linda accidentally barked, ‘Van Outen! ! ‘
Despite the mistake, Denise spoke on the show about her new role and her 10-year-old daughter Betsy, saying, ‘I’m so excited. Finally, I can tell people. I have kept this a secret from most of my friends and family. Betsy doesn’t even know …
‘She is at school so she will find out this afternoon when I pick her up from school. She will be very excited. He loves the show and we watch it every year …
‘I literally can’t stand on ice. Every time I’ve taken Betsy to a skating rink, I’ve been the one in the penguin.
Last month, it was reported that Denise signed up for the upcoming series as a contestant on a staggering £ 40,000 deal.
Meanwhile, Dancing On Ice hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield announced on This Morning on Tuesday that Joe-Warren would be a contestant and teased that they already knew who his partner would be.
The actor, who plays Jacob Gallagher on the soap opera, said he was “excited” at the prospect of appearing on the show, as he revealed that his character will be taking a six-month break from the ITV soap opera.
Denise and Joe-Warren, who has been dating model girlfriend Nicole Hadlow since 2017, joins previously announced Myleene Klass.
All twelve will skate in hopes of dominating the ice when the competition begins in the new year.
Phillip and Holly will return once again to present the show and the expert panel of Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean, John Barrowman and Ashley Banjo will resume their duties as judges.
