Coleen Nolan has admitted that she is ‘excited’ and ‘can’t wait to start’ her new Dancing On Ice job. Coleen has been lined up to present Dancing On Ice Friday on ITV2 with Ben Shephard.

Coleen told the Daily Mirror: “I can’t wait to get started. I’ve had to keep this a secret when all I’ve wanted to do is tell everyone.

“I’m hosting it with Ben Shephard and it’s all the behind-the-scenes stuff at Dancing on Ice.

“I can’t wait to grill the judges – especially Jason Gardiner.”

Nolan, who previously competed on the show, also admitted that there is a lot less pressure this year because she won’t have to dress in lycra every weekend.

She said: “Not having to dress in a skintight leotard makes it a little less terrifying this year.

“Even though I was slimmer than I’d ever been when I was dancing on the show, all the other girls were a lot younger and a hell of a lot slimmer than me.

“But it was good for me because it helped me realise people don’t just judge you on your weight and the public kept me in for weeks, even though I wasn’t a skinny size six.”
