Andy Whyment, who plays Coronation Street's Kirk Sutherland, has been confirmed as one of the contestants on the new series of Dancing on Ice.
The full line up includes Heidi Range and Chesney Hawkes, Laila Morse from EastEnders, Jorgie Porter from Hollyoaks and Matthew Wolfendon from Emmerdale, Jennifer Ellison, Hollywood actor Corey Feldman and diet and fitness guru Rosemary Conley.
Dancing on Ice begins on Sunday 8 January on ITV1 at 6.30pm.
I wonder how long Andy will be out of Coronation Street for, how his absence will be explained and more importantly, why he's doing this when his character has been floundering on the cobbles for months now without a decent storyline?
