Another TOWIE star taking part in Dancing on Ice is Dan Edgar, who has admitted to pals that the reality of the show is harder than he first thought.
A source says, ‘Dan started off as a bit of a “moany pony” but has slowly got into his stride. He admitted that he totally underestimated how demanding this would be – it’s certainly no walk in the park and he’s covered in bruises.’
The insider continues that Dan, 34, is ‘s**tting it’ ahead of the live shows, and has admitted that his pal Joey Essex – who reached the show’s final in 2023 – ‘made it look so easy’.
They add, ‘Dan had a total meltdown, admitting he’d bitten off more than he could chew. He’s worried that he’s in real danger of looking like a sack of spuds in sequins.
‘But he’s really coming along, with extra dance rehearsals, and getting the technique down has seen his confidence grow. Vanessa [James, his professional partner] has taken him from caveman to dancer on ice!’
