Adele Roberts has become the 10th celebrity confirmed to be taking part in the next series of Dancing On Ice.

The former Radio 1 DJ shared the news during an interview on Thursday’s edition of Lorraine, enthusing: “It’s ‘bricking it on ice’ for me!

“I think the hardest part is putting myself out there as I usually hide away. I did radio as it’s not visual. That’s going to be a big challenge.”

In 2021, Adele began treatment for stomach cancer, and last year celebrated the news that she is now cancer-free.

“After cancer I have my life back,” she told Lorraine. “I actually can’t wait for the glam!”

Adele initially rose to fame as a housemate on the third series of Big Brother in 2002, where she lived alongside Alison Hammond and Jade Goody.

Following her stint in the Big Brother house, Adele began a career in broadcasting, and presented Radio 1’s weekend breakfast show until her departure earlier this year.

She also competed on I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! back in 2019.
