Sonny Jay has signed up for ‘Dancing on Ice’.
The Capital radio presenter – who presents the station’s breakfast show with ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ star Roman Kemp – will reportedly take part in the upcoming ITV figure skating competition, according to The Sun Online.
He looks set to join the likes of comedian Rufus Hound, rapper Lady Leshurr, and former England footballer Wayne Bridge, as well as television presenter Myleene Klass.
Myleene – who has kids Ava, 13, and Hero, nine, with ex-husband Graham Quinn, and 13-month-old son Apollo with fiance Simon Motson – took to social media to announce she’s signed up for the next series of the ITV ice skating contest in 2021 after her daughters begged her to do it.
