Olympic rower Sir Steve Redgrave will skate in the 2025 series. During ITV's This Morning, he said that the Dancing on Ice production team had told him not to practise skating until the first official training session.
"There are all these people trying to persuade me now to do it, I can't dance, I can't skate, why am I doing this show? I've got no idea at all," he said. Noting that it would be "like going back to being an athlete again," Steve joked that his friends think his participation in Dancing On Ice is a "midlife crisis".
