Kem Cetinay has been confirmed as the new digital reporter on ‘Dancing On Ice’.
The former ‘Love Island’ winner is set to return to the ITV celebrity ice skating competition after he finished fourth in the show earlier this year, where he is set to take over backstage reporting duties from Jordan Banjo.
It was suspected in October that the 22-year-old reality star would take over from the 25-year-old dancer, as bosses reportedly wanted to "shake things up" on the show.
A source previously told the Sun Online: "Jordan was brilliant, but there have been changes to his schedule that mean he’s unavailable to film next year, so he’ll be axed from the format.
"There will be a lot of new faces on the ice, too. Ale Izquierdo, who skated with Max Evans in this year’s show, won’t return, neither will Melody Le Moal, who was partnered with Lemar.
"Show bosses are bringing in new professionals to shake things up."
Kem is "delighted" to have his first major television role, and admitted that although he rose to fame through reality television, he wants to expand into more major presenting projects.
A source previously said: "Kem’s delighted. It’s his first major TV presenting gig and he’s hoping it will propel him into the mainstream.
"While reality TV will always be in his roots, he’s keen to move away from it now … Kem can still remember some of his ice-skating skills from last year so he may even get his skates back on."
Meanwhile ‘Dancing on Ice’ recently announced the full line-up of celebrity skaters, including reality star Gemma Collins, ‘X Factor’ finalist Saara Aalto, and former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional James Jordan.
