Ex-Coronation Street star becomes latest celeb to sign up for next series of Dancing On Ice

DANCING On Ice has signed up ex-Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas.

And while the 39-year-old is preparing to take part in the ITV show, his brother Adam, 35, is on Strictly on BBC1.

A telly source said: “Ryan has a big personalities so will make cracking reality TV.”

Ryan left Corrie, where he played Jason Grimshaw, in 2016.

In 2018, while appearing on Celebrity Big Brother, he was falsely accused by ex-Emmerdale star Roxanne Pallett of assaulting her.

She was forced to apologise.

Boxer Ricky Hatton, 44, and former S Club 7 singer Hannah Spearritt, 42, will also be on the ITV show, which starts in January.

Holly Willoughby will host again with Stephen Mulhern rumoured to be replacing Phillip Schofield as co-presenter.

Meanwhile, “devastated” singer Hannah recently told how she had been snubbed from the S Club 7 reunion.

Hannah – who is set to release a tell-all book following her axing from  S Club’s reunion tour – was recently spotted for the first time since the drama as she threw a rucksack over her shoulder as she explored the UK capital.

An ITV spokeswoman said: “Any names are speculative as we’ve yet to announce our lineup.”
