I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star and radio DJ Adele Roberts is the 10th celebrity confirmed for the new series of Dancing On Ice.
Adele's spot on the show was confirmed on ITV show Lorraine on Thursday (October 5). She joked that "it's 'bricking it on ice'" for her.
The former Big Brother star said: "I think the hardest part is putting myself out there as I usually hide away. I did radio as it's not visual."

She went on: "That’s going to be a big challenge. After cancer I have my life back; I actually can’t wait for the glam!"
The line-up for 2024's Dancing On Ice is filling up nicely, with Adele being the 10th celebrity confirmed. She joins the previously announced World Champion Boxer Ricky Hatton MBE, actress Claire Sweeney, actress and singer Hannah Spearritt, West End star Amber Davies and Olympic Champion and presenter Greg Rutherford MBE, TV personality Miles Nazaire, Gogglebox star Stephen Lustig-Webb, comedian and writer Lou Sanders and actor Ricky Norwood.
Adele was diagnosed with Stage 2 bowel cancer in October 2021 and documented her journey on social media. She announced in June last year that she was cancer free in an emotional message with fans.
She praised her physician Dr Khan, and said: "Angel on Earth. The day I've been waiting for. Hearing the words 'you’re free of cancer' absolutely took my breath away. I keep replaying it in my mind.
"It was the most beautiful sound I think I’ve ever heard. Even though I was praying Dr Khan would say that to me I don’t think my head let me believe it until I heard it."
Adele also paid tribute to other people going through similar struggles in her post. She said: "I am also in awe of anyone dealing with cancer. The courage, the strength, the determination… and at times, the humour you have shown has been nothing short of super human," she wrote.
"You've inspired me and given me the fire to never give up. You're warriors and it's thanks to seeing you being so strong that's kept me going.
"Feel the fear and do it anyway. Sometimes it took me all my strength just to get out of bed and face the day but I still did it."
