TOWIEs Joey Essex announced as seventh Dancing On Ice 2023 contestant

Joey Essex has been announced as the next Dancing On Ice 2023 contestant.

The former TOWIE star, 32, will join RuPaul's Drag Race UK 2019 winner The Vivienne, EastEnders' Patsy Palmer, John Fashanu, Corrie's Mollie Gallagher, Olympic Gymnast Nile Wilson and Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

While Michelle Heaton has also been reported to have joined the hit ITV skating show.

Revealing the news on Friday's This Morning, Joey said: "I would love to win. I’m going to put all my energy into this. This stage in my life, I’m so ready for this."

Talking about receiving comments from the judges, he added: "I’m doing it for me. I want to impress the judges but I want to impress myself. I’m going to put all my effort into this."

Joey also joked about potentially finding romance on the show: "I want to be cursed, I'm super single!"

Rumours have been swirling around who else will be joining the line up for this year's series with Love Island star Andrew Le Page being tipped as a possible favourite.

Addressing the reports that he’s signed up for the series, Andrew, 27, exclusively told OK! that he’d love to take on the ITV skating show.

"This is the first I’ve heard of it but I’d love to do it if they’d have me," Andrew said. "I can’t dance but I’ve got a very good teacher in Tasha."


Another possible contestant is former Love Islander Laura Anderson who was rumoured to be in talks with ITV bosses to join the skating competition.

The 31 year old reality TV star has auditioned for the show in the past, according to The Sun, and although she impressed the bosses, the blonde Scottish beauty lost out to her ex Wes Nelson.

Regan Gascoigne was the crowned winner of Dancing On Ice 2022 . Speaking after being awarded the trophy, Regan said he never thought he'd win the show, while breaking down in tears.

Dancing On Ice returns in 2023 on ITV.
