Former Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse will be performing on Dancing On Ice in a performance featuring skaters choreographed by Nottinghamshire's Torvill and Dean.
TV bosses say Oti's performance will include a "fusion of ice and dance". The popular performer confirmed her dance would be featuring in this Sunday's show.
The 31-year-old is expected to perform on the stage above the rink as the DOI pros skate around it, the Mirror reports.
“I’m so honoured that Jayne and Christopher have choreographed the talented pro skaters for this special performance," she told The Sun.
“It’s a dream come true to debut my I Am Here tour on Dancing On Ice this Sunday!
“This tour will be the end of the most amazing chapter of my life and it’s my way to say thank you to everyone that has supported me on this journey.”
Oti has enjoyed an impressive career on Strictly and lifted the Glitterball twice.
A source claimed that Oti was becoming a bigger star than many of the celebrities on the show.
A TV insider said: “While BBC bosses are obviously sad to see Oti leave Strictly, it does solve the growing problem of finding celebrities who could match her appeal.
