What has Graham Bell said about joining Dancing on Ice?
Graham was announced at the same time as fellow Olympian Colin Jackson MBE, with the two sportsmen appearing live on BBC Breakfast to confirm they were joining the line-up.
Talking to hosts John Kay and Sally Nugent, Graham said: "Ice doesn't scare me, it's the dancing whereas I know you can dance, Colin. Colin's probably called up Katrina Witt and flown her over from Germany and hired her as a private coach! Colin is an excellent pupil because I actually coached him on Ski Sunday in 2007 and he's one of the trainees that takes on information so well."
Graham also admitted that the "transferable skills of edge control, balance" in his sport would be useful on the ice.
Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby once again return to present the show and the expert panel of Torvill and Dean, John Barrowman and Ashley Banjo will all resume their roles as judges.
