A TOP Radio 1 DJ has been confirmed as the next star for Dancing On Ice.
Broadcaster Adele Roberts, 44, was revealed as the latest name for the ITV reality show on Thursday's Lorraine.
Adele was diagnosed with bowel cancer two years ago and said she was "very lucky" to be "fit enough and well enough to do it."
She added: "That's why I wanted to do the show - I want to show what's possible with an ostomy.
"I feel like I am reclaiming my body back from cancer.

"I don't think I am there yet, but I am getting there."
The news confirms The Sun's exclusive this week about Adele's spot on the skate show.
As she arrived on Lorraine Kelly's daytime show, Adele quipped: "What have I done?
"I don't know if I can dance, I don't know if I can stand up on the ice."
Adele will be taking part on Dancing On Ice - scheduled to be back on screen early next year - with her stoma.
Lorraine suggested she was making history by doing so, while affectionately referring to the stoma by Adele's chosen name for it, Audrey.
Adele joked her partner would have to "be careful where you put your hands, baby," so as not to disrupt the bag.
Adele announced that she'd be taking a break from the mic after being diagnosed with bowel cancer in early October 2021.
She took to her Instagram accounts, which boasts an impressive 130k followers, to share her story "hoping that it'll reach anyone who might benefit from seeing it or reading it".
Revealing that she would be undergoing surgery, Adele praised the NHS and urged anyone with symptoms to head to their GP.

She explained that although she had been "embarrassed" to seek help after suffering digestion issues, she felt "lucky" that her cancer was still treatable and that "early detection can save your life".
She later took to her Instagram to tell her followers that she is now cancer-free.
Despite potentially needing a few further operations, she reiterated the importance of people contacting their GP if they spot any of the signs.
