Rebekah Vardy signs up for Dancing on Ice

ebekah Vardy is the latest star to have signed up to \'Dancing on Ice\'.

The former \'I\'m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!\' campmate - who is the wife of professional footballer Jamie Vardy - is the ninth contestant confirmed for next year\'s series of the ITV figure skating show, and she admitted the Leicester City striker is hoping she doesn\'t take too many tumbles on the ice.

Speaking on \'Good Morning Britain\', she said: "He thinks it\'s a brilliant idea. He\'s really looking forward to watching me.

"And he hopes I don\'t fall over too much."

Rebekah has her dad to thank for teaching her how to ice skate during her younger years.

She said: "My dad taught me how to stand up on a pair of skates when I was about seven years old.

"We used to go skating a lot when my mum and dad split up.

"We used to go and stay with him for the weekend and he used to take us to the local ice rink, so it\'s a really fun family thing for us to have done together.

"The only times I\'ve been since is when I take the kids skating at Christmas."

Asked why she is taking part in the show, she said: "I just think I want everyone to laugh at me really."

The 38-year-old star is due to start training "in a couple of weeks", and joked she hopes she doesn\'t knock out her teeth, which she compared to legendary racehorse Shergar\'s pearly whites.

Rebekah explained: "I\'m really looking forward to getting my teeth into that and get going with it. I\'m going to give 100 per cent effort throughout.

"And I hopefully won\'t knock my Shergar teeth out."

This comes after skier Graham Bell and athlete Colin Jackson were the seventh and eighth celebrities confirmed for the show over the weekend.

They will be joined by Myleene Klass, Joe-Warren Plant, Denise van Outen, Faye Brookes, Jason Donovan and Sonny Jay on the show.
