Love Island winner Kem Cetinay is set to be a celebrity contestant on the new series of Dancing On Ice.

The star of the ITV2 dating show admitted he ‘couldn’t wait to get his skates on’.

He said: "I still can't believe I'm going to be on Dancing on Ice! Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd be strapping on a pair of skates and dancing in some lycra.

“Anyone who knows me will know how competitive I am, so I'm going to work very hard to stay on my feet! I can't wait to get my skates on."

Cetinay rose to fame after appearing on this year's Love Island, which saw a group of singletons head to a Majorcan villa to find love.

The Essex hairdresser and his girlfriend Amber Davies, who he met on the show, went on to win the series, sharing a £50,000 prize.

After striking up a bromance with fellow islander Chris Hughes during his time in the villa, he and Hughes were given their own ITV2 show Straight Outta Love Island.

The two-part series followed Cetinay and Hughes as they launched their rap career, with their song Little Bit Leave It later reaching number one on the iTunes chart.

Cetinay is the third celebrity contestant to be confirmed for the upcoming series of Dancing On Ice which is being revived after a three-year hiatus.

He joins Coronation Street actress Brooke Vincent and former Bucks Fizz bandmember Cheryl Baker. More celebrity names will be announced in the coming weeks.

Dancing On Ice returns to ITV early next year.
