Gemma Bissix will be competing in this years Dancing On Ice contest on ITV1.

Gemma is best known as Clare Bates in EastEnders and Clare Devine in Hollyoaks; she was awarded with two British Soap Awards for the latter role.

Talking about her intentions for the series Gemma said:

“I will make sure I skate before Roxy [Roxanne Pallett] and scatter sequins all over the ice so she falls over. There can only be one winner and that’s going to be me”.

Gemma will partner Andrei Lipanov in the new series.
