Ricky Hatton reveals family's warning ahead of Dancing On Ice as he admits it's 'nerve-wracking'

ok.co.uk:

January wouldn’t be January without a new series of Dancing On Ice. With the series kicking off on our screens, a whole host of celebrities are looking to brace themselves for the ice as they attempt to wow the judges and take home the trophy.

Joining celebrities including Love Island star Amber Davies and S Club’s Hannah Spearritt is boxer Ricky Hatton who was the first contestant to be announced as appearing on the show.

Speaking on This Morning at the time, he said: “If I can hold my nerve in the boxing ring I should be able to hold my nerve in the ice rink.

I like setting new challenges and keeping myself busy!”. However, while Ricky, 45, may be keen on the idea of completing this new challenge, it appears that his friends and family were less keen on the prospect when they first heard the news. “They all thought it was crackers because I can't dance on a solid floor, so I don't know how I'm going to do it on ice!
