Love Island’s Maura Higgins has been revealed the first contestant for Dancing on Ice.
The reality star will join the celebrity line up for the upcoming series and will take to the ice in the hopes of winning the competition.
The news was announced live on This Morning, on which Maura also appears as an agony aunt.
The 28-year-old said: ‘I’ve skated once in my life for fun, so I’ve no experience at all. I’m up for the challenge.
‘I’m more excited than scared. I’m competitive so I think that will drive me.”

Who is Maura Higgins?
For those who have been living under a rock, Maura appeared on this year’s Love Island, placing fourth alongside partner Curtis Pritchard.
She became a fan favourite for her fiery one-liners and no-nonsense advice, which she dished out to her fellow Islanders throughout the summer.
While the ice rink and dance floor are two completely different matters, Maura’s boyfriend Curtis is a professional dancer so lets hope he can teach the Irishwoman a trick or two.
