Dancing on Ice's Michelle Heaton sparks major prediction from Katie Price

Katie Price has made a bold prediction on Michelle Heaton's chances of doing well on Dancing on Ice, after the Liberty X star became the latest celebrity to be confirmed for the new series.

After the likes of Love Island winner Ekin-Su, ex TOWIE star Joey Essex and football legend and Gladiators host John Fashanu were revealed on the line-up last week, on Monday morning it was announced that Michelle has joined the new series of the ITV show, with the Gateshead born star joining other stars like Mollie Gallagher. and Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson on the contestant roster.

The news was broken on Dancing on Ice' s social media channels and by Lorraine Kelly on Monday, when Michelle joined her on her show. And, then, taking to Instagram, Michelle, who first shot to fame on Popstars at the turn of the millennium, wrote: "I’m so excited - I can’t believe it. Me and the kids are such huge fans of the show."

Michelle marked 12 months of sobriety earlier this year, after following a stint in rehab facility The Priory in the spring of 2021, admitting her drinking problem escalated massively during lockdown, so much so that she, her family and doctors were gravely concerned for her health.

Making a candid admission on how she wouldn't have been able to cope with the demands of the show pre-rehab, Michelle added: "I’ve always wanted to do it but I know I would never have been able to complete anything because of the way I was 18 months ago, so I’m really truly grateful that I’ve got it this year when I’m a lot stronger."

Michelle and Katie have been firm friends for decades now and throwing some immediate support Michelle's way, the model and former I'm A Celebrity star is already forecasting victory on the rink for her pal. In the comment section of Michelle's Dancing on Ice post, Katie wrote: " predict your win and you haven’t started yet," with Michelle, clearly not so optimistic, replying with crying laughing emojis.
