Last updated 23rd Sep 2020
Denise Van Outen is the latest celebrity to be confirmed for Dancing On Ice 2021! The Celebrity Gogglebox and Masked Singer star is the third contestant after Myleene Klass and Emmerdale's Joe-Warren Plant.
On Loose Women earlier today, three clues were given as to who the latest celebrity could be - and Denise was revealed to the world!
Confirming her appearance on Instagram, Dancing On Ice shared a photo of Denise and wrote, 'Bringing aaaall that jazz to the ice, it's @vanouten_denise! ✨ #DancingOnIce.'
Denise also revealed that she hasn't yet told her daughter, Betsy, and would be letting her know about the pretty huge news once she'd finished school later today!
She told the Loose Women panel, "I'm really excited, finally I get to tell people because I've literally kept this from most of my friends, family... Betsy doesn't even know! She's at school, so she's going to find out this afternoon when I pick her up from school."
Denise also posted about the news on Instagram, writing, 'Yay! Finally I can shout it from the rooftops “I’m doing @dancingonice “ ⛸🧊🙌🏻❤️ I am so excited to join the show that I’ve loved watching for years.
'I can’t wait to meet my pro partner and get on the rink for lessons. I feel like 2021 is going to bring a smile to all our faces with this fabulous ice show. Who doesn’t love a bit of sparkle to brighten up a winter! ❄️. #dancingonice #itv ⛸⛸⛸⛸🧊🧊🧊🧊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.'
This comes after fans spotted that she could be part of the line-up following this collage photo posted on the official Dancing On Ice Instagram account, along with the caption, 'The greatest show on ice is back! But which celebs will be skating their way onto your screens? Here’s a few clues… 🧼🎟 📻🍼.'
We can't wait!
Scroll through to see which celebrities are rumoured to be on Dancing On Ice 2021:
Luke Trotman
Rumours about Luke's participation are widespread, and he was one of the clan of celebs arriving for auditions for the show last month.
Billie Faiers
This TOWIE star was also spotted heading to auditions in July, and having also survived the Big Brother house we're sure she'd get off to a flying start on the ice.
Baga Chipz
From watching Drag Race, we can safely assume that drag queen Baga Chipz would be more than comfortable with the glittering wardrobe department and dance moves on the show. Baga was also among the select group of celebs turning up to audition nearly a month ago.
Samantha Giles
The Emmerdale actress is another celeb rumoured to be launching on the ice this year, although she wasn't spotted at auditions.
Carly Stenson
Carly Stenson is another soapland celeb rumoured to be taking part this year. She too wasn't spotted turning up to the rink to audition along with other celebs like Luke Trotman and Denise van Outen.
Denise van Outen
Denise was spotted heading to auditions last month, and we think she has a fair shot at the trophy this year, after taking part in Strictly Come Dancing back in 2012.
Mark "Bez" Berry
Bez is best known for being part of the band, Happy Mondays, but he most recently appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox. His addition to the show would certainly be, urm, interesting.
Denise Lewis
Olympian Denise also turned up at Slough Ice Arena, Berks with a whole host of other celebs to audition for the show. We have no doubt she'd skate circle around the rest of the rumoured contestants.
Wayne Bridge
Footballer and other half of Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge, Wayne Bridge, is rumoured to be one of the sports stars taking part in this year's Dancing on Ice. Frankie has previously taken part in Strictly, so maybe she can give him some dancing tips.
Antony Costa
Blue singer Antony Costa was also spotted auditioning for the ice skating show, cig in hand.
Fallon Sherrock
Darts extraordinaire Fallon Sherrock could be taking to the ice this year, as she was spotted heading to auditions last month.
Vicki Michelle, from 90s sitcom 'Allo 'Allo! is the oldest rumoured contestant at 69 , quite the achievement, we salute you Vicki.
Dr Alex George
Celeb-land's favourite reality TV doctor could be tying up his skates this year too.
Olivia Bentley
Olivia's been all over our screens this year, from Made In Chelsea to Celebs Go Dating, and she could well be hopping on over to ITV to take part in the skating extravaganza.
Lisa Maxwell
This Morning's Lisa Maxwell was also spotted at auditions for the show in July.
Toyah Willcox
Singer Toyah Willcox is heading up the more mature section of the rumoured lineup this year.
Rufus Hound
Comic Rufus Hound would certainly entertain us on the ice, and it's looking pretty likely he's taking part as he was seen heading into the ice rink last month.
Stephen "Sketch" Porter
Sketch from tattoo fixers might well have a hidden ice skating talent we don't know about... he was spotted auditioning so we'll find out in due course.
Mark Foster
Mark's another Strictly alumni heading up the mature entries for Dancing on Ice this year, and he's the second olympian rumoured to take part too.
Jodie Prenger
West end star Jodie would certainly bring some theatrics to the rink this year, although she wasn't part of the group of celebs auditioning at the rink last month.
Jason Donovan
In September 2020, it was reported that Neighbours legend Jason Donovan was the first celeb to be 'confirmed' for the cool reality show.
Jason took part in Strictly Come Dancing series nine in 2011, coming a very impressive third.
