The radio DJ will compete against 11 celebrities to master the skill of ice dancing and take home the coveted trophy.
The 44-year-old said she decided to compete on the ITV show because she has her “life back” after undergoing treatment for bowel cancer and announcing last June that she was cancer-free.
“I did radio as it’s not visual. That’s going to be a big challenge. After cancer I have my life back, I actually can’t wait for the glam.” They join world champion boxer Ricky Hatton, actress Claire Sweeney, S Club singer Hannah Spearritt, former Love Island contestant and West End star Amber Davies and Olympic champion Greg Rutherford on the bill.
Dancing On Ice will not be Roberts’ first sporting challenge, as she became the fastest woman to complete the London Marathon with a stoma bag in April this year, running the race in three hours 30 minutes and 22 seconds and achieving a Guinness World Record.In June, Roberts announced that she was leaving BBC Radio 1 after eight years amid a presenter shake-up at the station.
