Coronation Street actress Jane Danson is the latest celebrity rumoured to be taking part in next year’s series of Dancing On Ice.

According to the Mail Online, sources claim this will mark Jane’s reality TV debut as she gets her skates ready to hit the ice rink.

The publication claims the decision to have Jane, who plays Leanne Battersby on the soap, on the show has been ‘confirmed’.

Meanwhile, 2018 finalist and Jane’s Corrie co-star Brooke Vincent told Digital Spy earlier this year that Jane might appear on the show.

Brooke said: “Jane Danson said she might have a go.”

ITV recently released a teaser photo of one of the female contestants taking part in the new series and fans have noticed something similar the celebrity has to Jane, 39.

One person pointed out that the mystery famous face has a mole on her neck in the exact same spot Jane has one! Could they be right?

However, a representative for ITV told ED!: “At the moment any names are speculation and we will be confirming our line up in due course.”

ED! has contacted representatives for Jane for comment.

Rumours of Jane’s involvement in the show comes after it was recently claimed former Westlife singer Brian McFadden will also be taking part.

A source told The Sun: “Brian is about to sign on the dotted line and is really looking forward to being part of the show.”

Next year’s line-up is also rumoured to include The Only Way is Essex star Gemma Collins, 37, Big Brother’s Big on the Side presenter Rylan Clark-Neal, 29, and 20-year-old former Love Island contestant Wes Nelson.

An insider recently told The Sun this month: “Wes has boundless energy and he’s already displayed great rhythm on Love Island, so ‘Dancing On Ice’ execs thought he’d be a great choice for the series.”

It’s said bosses were impressed by his energy and charisma on Love Island, as well as his huge social media following.

ITV recently released a photo to their official Instagram page of a celebrity taking part in the show and fans are convinced it’s Wes.

The #DancingOnIce line-up’s coming together nicely. 😉
