Stephen Webb will be gliding onto our TV screens next year as they are the latest star to sign up for Dancing on Ice.<\/p>\n
The Gogglebox star was announced less than an hour after Made In Chelsea\u2019s Miles Nazaire, who has also joined the contestant line-up. <\/p>\n
The casting was revealed during an episode of Lorraine, with the host sharing the news after entering the studio through a cloud of fake snow.<\/p>\n
Speaking about his inclusion, an excited and nervous Stephen said: \u2018The last time I was on the ice I think I was 14 (years old) so almost 40 years ago. <\/p>\n
\u2018I have been back on the ice since just for a quick spin around, I didn\u2019t fall over so that was a good thing.\u2019<\/p>\n
Acknowledging his previous critique of contestants, Stephen added:\u00a0\u2018I\u2019ve got a new appreciation for skating.\u00a0I can see how truly difficult it is. From the comfort of my sofa I was probably a little too judgy, I didn\u2019t realise how hard it is!\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
His Dancing on Ice journey comes just after he quit Gogglebox following a decade on the series.<\/p>\n
The nation fell in love with the original star, who gave us incredible one-liners and sarcastic quips.<\/p>\n
He appeared on the programme with his husband,\u00a0Daniel Lustig-Webb, but they left to pursue other opportunities \u2013 well Stephen certainly didn\u2019t waste any time doing exactly that!<\/p>\n

Stephen said in a statement: \u2018We feel the time is right to move on and explore other opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u2018We would both like to thank Channel 4 and Studio Lambert for letting us be part of this amazing, funny and heartwarming show.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As well as Dancing on Ice, Stephen, who has recently shown off an incredible body transformation, has also signed up for next year\u2019s London Marathon! <\/p>\n
With two big challenges in his near future, luckily Stephen is getting some help. He revealed to Lorraine that Joey Essex, who was a finalist in last year\u2019s series, has been giving him some guidance and tips.<\/p>\n
Amber Davies, Ricky Hatton, Hannah Spearritt, Greg Rutherford, and Claire Sweeney make up the rest of the line-up so far.<\/p>\n
