Dancing on Ice contestant Danny Young has admitted that he ‘aspires’ to be as good on the show as former participant, Ray Quinn.

He told the Daily Star: “I think with Ray Quinn that he is someone to aspire to, he was great. But Ray had a background in dance, I think he was a latin ballroom dancer.

“I think it does give you an advantage.”

He added: “Ray was a natural and I don’t think that I will ever be as good as him.”

On his own progress on the ice Danny said:

He added: “I fall down a lot but I get back up and I work hard at it.

“I think that I am definitely getting better and I have moved on from where I started.”
