Meanwhile, earlier today, former Coronation Street actress Faye Brookes was announced as the fourth contestant.
Appearing on Lorraine, Faye said: “Finally the news is out, I’m so excited!”
I’m looking forward to it, it’s going to be fun.
She added: “This is the first time I think people are just going to see me not being a character, not hiding behind anything, just Faye.
“I have a little [experience]. My dad used to play ice hockey and when we were kids it was something we did often.
“There was no official lessons, it was just to have fun and a bit of a weekend activity with the family.”
Who else is doing Dancing On Ice?
On Wednesday, Denise Van Outen was confirmed as the third contestant.
She appeared on Loose Women and said: “As I’ve got older, I’m more fearful.
“I’m not as confident on the ice as I would have been if I was younger.”
Speaking about possible injuries, the star added: “I am worried about injuries but I’ve been reassured. The pro skaters do look after you.”
Joining Jason, Faye and Denise will be Emmerdale actor Joe-Warren Plant.
Meanwhile, Myleene Klass will be competing on next year’s series.
She wrote on Twitter: “Guess who won’t be holding the coats by the side of the rink anymore!
“My girls have been begging me to do @dancingonice.”
In addition, the star added: “Anyway, I want to make them proud, show them I’m up for a challenge and try for a bum like J.Lo.”
