The couple are thrilled to be working together and, when asked if she was going to enjoy working with a partner, Rachel replied: “I love that I’m going to have a partner in crime.

“I can’t wait to learn all of the routines–  although I am a bit scared of the headbanger.”

The two will be competing in the second week of the show – and Rachel has admitted that she does have some previous skating experience.

So could we see the pair lifting the trophy?

“When I was 10 I skated,” she revealed.

“I got really into it and I got my own boots. I used to go with friends and I really fell in love with it but you know when you’re that age you have no fear,” she said.

Rachel added: “I moved on to something else and didn’t stick with it but I really loved it.

“When I got back on the ice recently for the first time for Dancing On Ice I was definitely wobbly. It was only 15 mins on the ice but it was lovely and super relaxing and calm,” she said.

Is Dancing on Ice star Brendyn Hatfield married?

Brendyn is married to fellow Dancing On Ice professional Jessica Hatfield.

Jessica is a reserve dancer, meaning she’ll be there to step in if any Dancing on Ice professionals suffer an injury.

Brendyn met Jessica when they were both touring with Disney on Ice and they performed worldwide together as Aladdin and Jasmine.
