The Traitors star Mollie Pearce has been revealed as the second star to be competing on the 2025 series of Dancing On Ice, sharing the exciting news on Monday morning's instalment of Lorraine.Talking to presenter Lorraine on her eponymous show, Mollie shared: "It will be fun, I want to challenge myself, I'm ready for the challenge." And the reality star already has a move in mind that she's hoping to take on, admitting: "I really want to do the headbanger".

Mollie rose to prominence during last year's series of The Traitors, narrowly losing out on the prize as she was fooled by her best friend in the show Harry Clark - who turned out to be a traitor - with Mollie finding out in the final moments of the show when he took the prize fund for himself.The 22-year-old was born with a limb difference on her right hand and now wears a stoma bag following a life-changing surgery at 18 years old to treat her ulcerative colitis – a painful, inflammatory bowel disease.

And as Lorraine questioned whether her limb difference would impact her dancing on the ice, Mollie responded: "I've never let it get in the way before so I won't start now, I'm sure me and my partner will figure it out".

However, Mollie has a small amount of skating experience, as she shared: "My mum used to take me when I was young," but confirmed she hasn't skated for 'years'.
