Brooke Vincent feels "physically sick" about taking part in ‘Dancing On Ice’.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress is "excited" to be competing in the celebrity skating competition but because the show is live, she feels very nervous before stepping out onto the rink in front of judges Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean, Ashley Banjo and Jason Gardiner.
She said: "I’m so excited to be taking part in the show. There’s been so much buzz around it this year, but I’m trembling at the thought of being on the ice.
"Honestly, I feel physically sick because it’s live and anything could happen.
"My friend [and former contestant] Samia Ghadie knows how I feel and has been trying to put me at ease."
Ahead of the show starting, Brooke quit smoking and embarked on a 12-week health and fitness regime and feels much better for it.
She said: "For so long I’d wake up feeling sluggish and my skin was horrendous.
"I wanted to be in the best shape for ‘Dancing On Ice’ and feel healthier.
"I’ve always suffered with body insecurities, especially over my thighs, but now my legs and arms feel tones and my core is stronger.
"I’ve never worked so hard for anything and this is the best I’ve felt."
The 25-year-old star’s eating habits used to be so bad, she’d eat up to four takeaways a day.
She told Closer magazine: "I was a binge eater. Sometimes, I’d be eating my first meal in the afternoon or I’d pick between scenes.
"On a Saturday night, I’d have a McDonalds before heading out, then I’d bring another one home before having another for breakfast the next day.
"For lunch I’d have KFC, followed by a chippy for tea – that’s how bad it was.
"I lived that way for years because it was easy and it was the food I was used to, but now my meals are high in protein with some good carbs and generally very low in sugar."
