After it was announced earlier this year that the popular figure skating show is returning to TV screens, speculation has been rife over the anticipated line-up.
And now it is believed Brooke Vincent, who plays Sophie Webster in the ITV soap, is set to swap the cobbles for the ice rink.
The 25-year-old has reportedly impressed bosses so much with her skating audition that they want to sign her up.
“Brooke has already wowed judges with her skating audition. Bosses feel she’ll be the perfect glam signing,” a source told The Sun.
Olympic champion Jayne Torvill revealed in April that Dancing On Ice will have a new and “refreshed” look when it relaunches next year.
“The show will definitely be refreshed but the basics will be the same, we will still be teaching celebrities how to skate,” she told the publication.
The gold medalist continued: “It was a different sort of platform being in the studio – we like to be creative and come up with new things. There’s a new bar to set when the show returns.”
And the 59-year-old confessed who was at the top of her wish list to make the comeback a huge success, she said: “My son is a massive Steven Gerrard fan; he wants him to do Dancing On Ice as he’s retired now.”
Dancing On ice pulled in 13 million viewers at its peak and was originally hosted by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby but was axed in 2014 due to failing ratings.
Express.co.uk has contacted a representative for comment.
Dancing On Ice will air early next year on ITV.
