Huge nineties popstar confirmed as third Dancing On Ice signing after snubbing band reunion
A HUGE Nineties popstar has been confirmed as the third Dancing On Ice star for the new series.
S Club 7 songstress Hannah Spearritt, 42, will pull on her skates in the brand new series and promised fans: “We are going to have some fun!”
Her big new TV gig was revealed on Thursday’s Good Morning Britain.
In a video taken at an ice rink, she told fans: “I’ve got a little thing to tell you – I’m going to be on Dancing On Ice 2024!”
Dancing On Ice’s Twitter page also documented the star’s new role, and wrote alongside a snap of Hannah: “Actress and Singer @hannahspearritt is used to hitting those high notes, but this January she’ll be hitting the ice when #DancingOnIce returns!”
It came after the nail-biting reality series signed up Corrie star Claire Sweeney.
The first celebrity to be revealed was boxer Ricky Hatton – after The Sun revealed his signing two weeks ago.
Holly will host again with Stephen Mulhern rumoured to be replacing Phillip Schofield as co-presenter.
Meanwhile, “devastated” singer Hannah recently told how she had been snubbed from the S Club 7 reunion.
Hannah – who is set to release a tell-all book following her axing from S Club’s reunion tour – was recently spotted for the first time since the drama as she threw a rucksack over her shoulder as she explored the UK capital.
S Club – who had four No1 singles including Don’t Stop Movin’ and Never Had A Dream Come True between 1999 and 2003 – announced their reunion in February but two months later, band member Paul Cattermole died.
Shortly afterwards the group announced Hannah wouldn’t be taking part – but it was later claimed she was “pushed out” and felt “betrayed” by the group’s decision to move forward without her.
Earlier this month, we exclusively reported how Hannah’s book called Facing The Music had originally been due out a week earlier – but will now hit shelves on October 12, hours before her S Club bandmates take to the stage.
A source told us: “Hannah’s book is full of explosive claims about her time in S Club and exactly what happened with her exit from the reunion tour.
“It will not be pretty reading for the group and it feels like Hannah is trying to overshadow the tour.
“Things have the potential to get very messy.”
The remainder of the group have recently also opened up on Hannah’s future with the group.
Bandmates Bradley McIntosh, 41, Jo O’Meara, 44, Jon Lee, Rachel Stevens, 45, 41 and Tina Barrett, 46, insist she could return in the future.
Asked about Hannah’s departure, Jon said: “I guess that’s a conversation for Hannah to have.
“She’s not going to be joining us on this tour but we’ve got loads of stuff that’s happening next year so the door is always open.”
