The S Club 7 singer - who had hits with tracks like 'Reach', 'Bring It All Back' and 'Never Had A Dream Come True' with the early 2000s pop band - is swapping the microphone for ice skates as she takes the rink when the ITV show returns early next year.

Revealing the news on ITV's 'Britain's Got Talent' on Thursday (28.09.23), she said: "I’m really excited about learning a new skill."

She admitted her motivations for taking part in the 2024 series include pushing herself out of her comfort zone, and improving her fitness.

She added: "It’s so easy to live your comfortable life and that aspect of mixing things up is very appealing.

"Fitness is another reason why I’m doing it! It’s really exciting."

Her is following in the footsteps of former bandmate Rachael Stevens, who took part in the show last year and was the third celebrity to be eliminated.

Hannah has decided not to take part in the upcoming S Club reunion tour, which will celebrate the group's 25-year legacy.

All seven band members - including Hannah, Rachael, Bradley McIntosh, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole, and Tina Barrett - were due to take part before Cattermole's death earlier this year.

Subsequently, Hannah - who previously dated the late star - decided not to join in the plans.

She is the third person to be announced for 'Dancing On Ice', following on from 'Coronation Street' actress Claire Sweeney and former professional boxer Ricky Hatton.

The retired sportsman admitted his daughters found it hilarious that he has signed up for the show.

He told 'This Morning': "I told my daughters and they found it absolutely hysterical."

When asked if he is "much of a skater", he said: "No, not at all. But being a boxer I have been on my a*** a few times.

"I can't dance on a solid floor, so I don't know How I'm going to get on on the ice.

"But it's a challenge. It's all about balance, I've got good upper body movement and upper body strength. You're remembering dance sequences and moves and in boxing you're remembering combinations and stuff like that.
