Actress Mollie Gallagher has been named as the fifth celebrity in the lineup for the new series of Dancing On Ice.

The 24-year-old is best known for having played Nina Lucas, the Goth-clad niece of Roy Cropper (David Neilson), on Coronation Street for the last three years.

Gallagher joins a long line of Corrie stars to have taken part in the ITV contest, following on from the likes of Sally Dynevor (2022), Faye Brookes (2021), Lisa George (2020), Jane Danson (2019), Antony Cotton (2018) and Brooke Vincent (2018).

"I'm really excited," she told today's Lorraine. "I've not really felt nervous yet, strangely. But being here today, I am now feeling it a little bit!"

Others announced for the 2023 lineup so far include ex-EastEnders star Patsy Palmer, former footballer John Fashanu, Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu and former Team GB gymnast Nile Wilson.
