Loose Woman Denise Welch has reportedly signed on for Dancing On Ice 2009.

She follows in the footsteps of fellow Loose Women panellist Coleen Nolan who was a surprise hit on last years show.

A source told The Mirror: “Denise knows this isn’t her natural environment – if she can go half as far as Coleen, she’ll be thrilled.”

“Off the rink she’s speaking to Coleen nonstop about how to get training off to a flying start and asking for tips.”

Gordon Ramsay’s wife Tana and Footballers’ Wives actress Susie Amy have also reportedly signed up for the show.
