Donna Air’s female relatives are more excited about seeing ‘Love Island’ hunk Kem Cetinay doing ‘Dancing on Ice’ than they are about her showing off her moves in the rink.
The 38-year-old TV star has just been confirmed as the latest celebrity to take part in the forthcoming series of the skating show, but she has admitted her family were actually more ecstatic about the fact she’ll be working alongside the 21-year-old heartthrob.
Speaking on ‘Loose Women’ on Friday (03.11.17), she said: "All the girls in my house think it’s really cool because Love Island’s Kem Cetinay’s on it. They’re much more excited about him than they are about me doing the show. They’ll be supporting him."
And the blonde beauty’s 14-year-old daughter Freya, whom she has with her ex Damian Aspinall, cringed when she was told her mum would be taking to the ice next year.
She added: "My daughter is like oh no you’re going to be so embarrassing so we’ll see."
The reboot will kick off at the beginning of January, but Donna has admitted she has to do at least 30 hours of training before she’s allowed to start working with her professional partner, who she has met and has admitted is "gorgeous" and "an amazing skater."
She said: "It starts the beginning of January – like the 4th or 5th I think.
"But we’ve got to do 30 hours of training before we get to work with our partner. I’ve met my partner, he’s gorgeous and he’s great – an amazing skater! I’m just trying to stand on one leg at the moment."
And when asked whether James Middleton – who she was rumoured to have split from last month – would be watching the live show, Donna said: "I’m sure James would love to come and see me wobbly on the ice. I think he’ll just wait to see how I feel nearer the time – how nervous I am. Sometimes if you’re really nervous, you can’t get the job done."
