DENISE Van Outen has shared the news that she will be starring on ITV's Dancing on Ice.

The star, originally from Basildon, gushed about the opportunity on her Instagram, saying "Finally I can shout it from the rooftops, I’m doing Dancing on Ice!"

She went on to say how excited she is to join the show that she has "loved watching for years." 

Earlier this week, the show also announced that Emmerdale star Joe-Warren Plant will be taking part, along with Mylene Klass. 

Loose Women panelists however, were tasked with Denise's big reveal but things didn't quite go to plan after panellist, Linda Robson, jokingly nicknamed as "baggy mouth" on the show, embarrassingly blurted out the star's name after they had to look at a series of clues.

Dancing on Ice bosses have been announcing a different star each day on its social media pages.

The show is scheduled to return for its 13th series in January 2021, and will once again be hosted by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
