Dancing on Ice

Jennifer Ellison is relishing the challenge of taking part in Dancing on Ice, as not only is it her family’s favourite show, it has also given the stunning actress a boost to get back in shape, following the birth of her beloved son.

The 28 year old explained: “As a family, Dancing on Ice is something that we all love.

“Every year we all sit there on the sofa and watch it. I'm always saying 'I'd love to do that one year', and my mum is always saying you should but my husband is like 'no, no she will break every bone in her body and lose her teeth!'"

She continued: "Having a dance background (to me) Torvill and Dean are icons. I remember when I was doing a modern dance championship and my mum copied one of the costumes that Jayne wore a year after the Bolero. My version didn't look very good but I thought it was fabulous."

Former Brookside babe Jennifer has been hitting the headlines of late, after showing off her stunning slimline figure in a string of figure hugging dresses.

She said: "I used to be very sporty but since having a baby that's kind of all gone and I haven't really been to the gym for a long time. I'm literally starting from scratch, fitness wise. I have put myself on a diet and I'm going to go to the gym. It's a big massive thing personally for me, it's not just about doing a show.”

Jen also has the pleasure of teaming up with DOI favourite Dan Whiston – swoon!

Dancing on Ice 2012 kicks off on Sunday January 8.
