Daniella Westbrook the ice dancer
Friday, 9th October 2009.
Soon-to-be-leaving EastEnders star Daniella Westbrook has hinted that she'll be taking to the ice in January.
The actress - who currently plays tearaway Sam Mitchell in Albert Square - is set to pull on her skates for the new series of Dancing on Ice.
In fact she's already in training. A source said: "She's training and is getting better each day. She is determined to do her best."
35-year-old Westbrook is leaving BBC1's flagship soap EastEnders before the New Year, so a stint on DoI will fit into her schedule nicely.
However, she was rather tight lipped about what the future held in a recent interview: "I have another job starting the week I leave EastEnders which takes me through to March," she said.
"Then I have some other jobs that are running alongside of each other.
"Then from March onwards, I don't know!"
Paul McCartney's ex wife and former Dancing with the Stars contestant Heather Mills is also rumoured to be appearing on the show.
But more likely to be donning their leotards this winter are Hollyoaks babes Gemma Merna and Jennifer Metcalfe.
