Speaking to Lorraine Kelly on Monday's show (October 10), she said: "I’m so excited – I can’t believe it.
"Me and the kids are such huge fans of the show in general. I’ve always wanted to do it but I know I would never have been able to complete anything because of the way I was 18 months ago, so I’m really truly grateful that I’ve got it this year when I’m a lot stronger."
She confessed: "I have no idea what I’m doing. Tomorrow is officially the first day in my skates made for me."
