Former Coronation Street actor Danny Young has admitted that he’d like Danniella Westbrook to win this year’s series of Dancing On Ice.

Young was eliminated from the ITV ice skating show last night and while Hayley Tamaddon is currently bookies favourite to win, Danny says he’d prefer it if Danniella scooped the title.

Speaking on This Morning Danny said:

“You become so close to everyone, but what I love about Danniella is what she stands for.

“She took a couple of knocks, but she is a fighter. She has faced a lot in a her life and has come back. I like that in a person.”

He added: “I think with this show, as we saw last night, it is not the person who you always think is going to go through, that does.”

Maybe there is more truth to these rumours than we thought!
