Cricketer Ryan Sidebottom is the latest celebrity announced for the new series of Dancing On Ice.
The former England international is strapping on his skates when the ITV series returns next year.
The show posted a brief clip of Sidebottom on Instagram, captioned: “Prepare to be bowled over…”.
It was followed by a cricket bat and ball emoji.
The bowler, 40, is the sixth contestant announced for the programme.
