Former page three model, Linda Lusardi has spoken out about the fact that she is one of the oldest people competing in this years Dancing On Ice competition.

Speaking to The Sun, Linda says: “I don’t even think about being older than most of the others on the show. I don’t feel 49, I feel 21!

“When I went for the show medical I was a bit worried about my age. But they reassured me that my fitness levels were better than some of the younger ones.

“And as for looking older than them, I don’t care, I just put on my glitter and get on with it.

“I love the glitz and sparkle of the programme. During the week you’re so unglamorous, practising at a freezing rink in tracky bottoms. But when it comes to the weekend and you try on your spangly costume, you get really into it.
