Adele Roberts is thrilled to be working with skater Mark Hanretty
The 44-year-old broadcaster and DJ, who beat bowel cancer last year, will be the first person to take part in the ITV ice-skating show with a stoma bag, which she has nicknamed Audrey, and she's now revealed she's paired up with pro partner Mark for the show and she's thrilled.
In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "I cannot believe it! I've been paired with the magnificent ice skating genius that is @MarkHanretty. Mark, I have admired you from afar for many years. I can't believe I'm now getting the privilege of skating with you. If one ounce of your brilliance rubs off on me, I'll be over the moon!
"I will work so hard for you and give this my all. We hit the jackpot Audrey, thank God we bought that lucky dip!"
Adele went on to reveal her fiancee Kate Holderness is also excited about the pairing and she is looking forward to introducing Mark to her mum.
She added: "An incredible dreamy morning with this man. My heart is so happy. Another reason to take chances in life. You never know what you're going to get. Christmas has come early!
"Can't wait to tell my Mum all about him. He's a goodun Mum, he even drove me home. What a beautiful soul. Kate loves him too. In fact, we might not let him out. He lives with us now.
"Thank you for the best present ever @dancingonice. Audrey and I shall take good care of him. Ps. Mark ignore my bent leg on the photo. I shall extend and point my toes from now on."
Adele will be part of the line-up when the show returns to TV in January alongside stars including former boxer Ricky Hatton, actress Claire Sweeney, actress and singer Hannah Spearritt, West End star Amber Davies, Olympic Champion and presenter Greg Rutherford, TV personality Miles Nazaire, 'Gogglebox' star Stephen Lustig-Webb, comedian and writer Lou Sanders, and former 'EastEnders' star Ricky Norwood.
