Hannah Spearritt recalled a moment that "took her breath away" while preparing for her first Dancing on Ice performance.

Speaking to the Mirror and other press about training so far, the S Club 7 star opened up about what she hopes to achieve from taking part in Dancing on Ice. She said: "Somebody said something to me a couple of days ago when I was skating, I think it was the medic.

"She said something so lovely and said, ‘You're inspiring me to skate,’ and it just took my breath away. For me, I want to master the basic skills, but then if I do that, if I want to be able to pass it on to my little girls, which would be amazing or just get them interested in skating.

"That would be an amazing achievement because we're all in the same boat, we start off this journey hanging onto the sides. I've never even thought ice skating would be in my life ever so just to be able to have that skill set would be incredible to pass that on."

Although the S Club 7 star is taking training one step at a time, she revealed she's already considering the notorious headbanger move with partner Andy Buchanan. She said: "We've had that conversation already, me and Andy, and we’re hopefully going to try and do the headbanger, if we get to that point. It's making me nervous just talking about it so that might change, but, it's on the cards.”

Hannah is looking forward to performing on the ice after a difficult past 12 months. The S Club 7 star was heartbroken over the shocking death of bandmate and ex-boyfriend Paul Cattermole, who died at his Dorset home of natural causes on 6th April 2023, aged just 46. It's been reported the singer is no longer talking to her former bandmates after they "blindsided" her with their decision to go ahead with the reunion tour that had been announced prior to Paul's death.

Holly Willoughby will be making her TV return on Sunday to host Dancing on Ice alongside new co-host Stephen Mulhern, who takes over from Phillip Schofield. Hannah will be competing against former boxer Ricky Hatton, Coronation Street's Ryan Thomas, Love Island's Amber Davies, Olympian Greg Rutherford, Made In Chelsea star Miles Nazaire and former EastEnders actor Ricky Norwood.

Comedian Lou Sanders, Radio DJ Adele Roberts, soap icon Claire Sweeney and Emmerdale's Roxy Shahidi will also take to the ice while Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards stepped in after Gogglebox's Stephen Lustig-Webb dropped out due to injury.
