Another Dancing On ice 2025 contestant was announced on ITV Lorraine

ITV Dancing On Ice 2025 line-up to include star from The Traitors

by · Manchester Evening News

The line-up for the 2025 series of Dancing On Ice is gradually being revealed, with ITV's Lorraine announcing that Mollie Pearce will be among the participants.

Mollie, a former contestant on The Traitors, will be lacing up her ice skates to compete in the contest when it returns in January. The 22-year-old model and healthcare assistant from Bristol, who was born with a limb difference on her right hand and underwent surgery to remove her colon in 2020, narrowly missed out on winning the last series of the popular BBC show hosted by Claudia Winkleman.

She now has a stoma, which she affectionately calls Sid. Speaking about joining Dancing On Ice, she said: "I'm looking forward to doing a more physical challenge."

During her appearance on ITV's Lorraine, Mollie received a supportive message from former Dancing On Ice star Adele Roberts, who also competed with a stoma. Mollie had previously opened up about her surgery during a conversation with her fellow Traitors in the penultimate episode.

"I really struggled to get my head around the fact that I was going to have a stoma," she shared with her fellow finalists. "I wasn't prepared for it. Eighteen-years-old, you kind of want to be out enjoying yourself with your friends, not having this life changing surgery," reports the Mirror.

Her Dancing On Ice participation was announced shortly after reality TV star Ferne McCann was revealed as the first contestant for 2025 on ITV's Good Morning Britain.

Ferne revealed the news on Good Morning Britain, telling Susanna Reid and Ed Balls: "I'm doing Dancing On Ice! So excited! I've done Winter Wonderland with the children, but the penguins the kids have got - I'm crunched over them! I'm looking forward to it; it's going to be a huge challenge. But the glitz and the glam, it's going to be brilliant."

Dancing On Ice will return to screens in January, with the lineup being announced gradually, much like this year's Strictly Come Dancing.

Lorraine is on ITV1 weekdays at 9am and on ITVX
