Good Morning Britain has announced that Love Island star Ekin-Su Culculoglu will join the Dancing On Ice 2023 line-up.
The big name appeared via a video on GMB and was confirmed by Richard Arnold, after hints of finding love this summer on TV, and "crawling" - as well as them showing a Turkish Delight.
In the video, Ekin-Su shared her excitement over joining the line-up as she confirmed her appearance for the first time.
She said: "I've got some amazing news to tell you. I will be doing this year's Dancing On Ice. I am so excited for the team, I can't wait to get myself on the ice and skate."
The announcement comes just one day after ITV confirmed that footballer John Fashanu was the second contestant for ITV's series, alongside actress and DJ Patsy Palmer.
Former EastEnders actress Patsy will be swapping her home life in Malibu, California, for the ice rink, as announced on Monday.

This isn't Ekin-Su's only return to TV though, following her Love Island win in the summer.
Both Ekin-Su and her partner, and fellow winner, Davide Sanclimenti will front a new ITV series, as confirmed this week.
The pair fell in love after a whirlwind journey in the Majorcan villa, where they had some ups and downs but ultimately ended up victorious. They will now be documenting their travels on their new show for ITV2 titled Ekin-Su & Davide: Homecomings.
The two-part series will see the pair head to Italy first, and back to Davide's hometown of Frosinone. Davide, who is now based in Manchester, will be back in the place he grew up for the first time following their win on Love Island.

As part of their Italian romance adventure, the pair will head to Verona, known as the Italian city of love. As they travel through the famous city, made famous by William Shakespeare's famous star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet, the pair will document for fans their adventure as they explore this historic and beautiful city with one another.
Following that, the pair will head through the Tuscan valley and then head to Ekin-Su's native country, Turkey. Starting off in Istanbul, the Love Island star will introduce her partner to the acting colleagues she met during her time working in the city.
From there, they will head on an eight-hour road trip in a campervan to Odemis, the village where Ekin-Su's family is from. They will also spend a night sleeping in their motorhome - but how will that bode for the lovebirds?

Meanwhile, Davide recently confirmed he'd turned down an appearance on the ITV show Ekin-Su has now agreed to take part in.
Davide explained: “They wanted me to do Dancing On Ice this year but I refused this time around.
“I have so much going on and I can’t commit to something every day and when I do something I want to do it properly.
“Right now I just can’t focus on something like that, for the moment anyway, but in the future maybe I will.”
Dancing On Ice 2023 launches early next year on ITV and ITV Hub.
