The countdown to Dancing on Ice 2024 has now been revealed, with boxing legend Ricky Hatton confirmed as the first contestant
He said: “It was well documented that I struggled when I retired from boxing amongst a few other things and I’m trying to do my bit for mental health... I’ve never been shy to discuss it.
“When I retired I was sat there with nothing to do and my world fell apart a little bit. It’s all about keeping busy and doing things that are positive and new adventures! I can dance on the solid floor but I don’t know how I’ll do on the dance floor. It’s more about being disciplined and about believing in yourself.
“New adventures don’t come more than Dancing On Ice. It is a challenge and with boxing. It is a balance. You remember dance sequencing and moves and in boxing, you do a little bit, remembering combinations and stuff like that. I should have the attributes to do pretty well.’”
