Vanessa Bauer will reportedly strip off for 'The Real Full Monty'.
Vanessa Bauer has reportedly signed up for the show
The 'Dancing On Ice' pro skater will join the likes of former royal butler Paul Burrell on the ITV show - which is fronted by Ashley Banjo and Coleen Nolan - to raise money for cancer charities.
An insider told The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column: "Vanessa sadly lost her dear dad to cancer in 2021 so when she was asked to take part in 'The Real Full Monty' she jumped at the chance.
“Her dad lived with the disease for six years and she wants to help raise awareness."
When her father died in 2021, Vanessa admitted she was "hurting so much" but vowed to "dream bigger, work harder and find happiness" as he always wanted her to.
She said at the time: "Cancer sucks but we’ve experienced big steps in modern cancer treatments thanks to cancer research.
"Cancer causes, courses, therapies etc are so different and complex.
"I’m not a doctor but I know that our lifestyle choices can prevent some types of cancer so I’ll keep encouraging you to take care of your body as you only have one."
Meanwhile, Paul was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year and he has also been inspired to try and make a difference after finishing "his last round of radiotherapy in April".
The source added to The Sun: “It was incredibly emotional for both Vanessa and Paul during filming but they knew by taking part they would help to make a difference and get people checking themselves.
“Naturally there were lots of laughs along the way — getting your kit off on camera makes people incredibly silly but it was all very good fun.”
Former footballer Ashley Cain is also said to have signed up after losing his baby daughter Azaylia to leukaemia at just eight months old in 2021.
