Olympian Kye White has joined Dancing On Ice’s 2022 line-up.
The 22-year-old won a silver medal for BMX racing at the Tokyo Olympics earlier this year, and he is now set to take to the ice.
The athlete told CBBC’s Newsround on Thursday morning that he was “feeling good” about signing up for DOI.
Kye revealed he knew that he would be signing up to the show around three to four weeks ago, adding: “I think I was the last person to get selected. I was told not to tell anyone and I’ve been waiting for the big reveal.”
“My family knows. My dad and brother roller-skate so I think they’re excited.”
The 2022 DOI line-up already includes Una Healy’s ex-husband Ben Foden, Love Island’s Liberty Poole, Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor, Happy Mondays icon Bez, Paralympic athlete Stef Reid, singer and dancer Regan Gascoigne, S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens and former Strictly pro Brendan Cole.
Dancing On Ice returns to ITV and Virgin Media One in early 2022.
Twelve celebrities will be taking on the challenge and skating live each week with their professional partners as they try to impress both the panel and the viewers who will ultimately decide who wins the show.
