Rebekah Vardy has posed alongside her new Dancing on Ice partner Andy Buchanan as she begins training for the upcoming series.

Rebekah joined the show to “clear her name” in the wake of the Wagatha Christie scandal last year and she’s already getting stuck into training as she posted a photo snuggled up to skating pro Andy at Alexander Palace ice rink.

“@andybuchanan2 @dancingonice⛸ please don’t drop me 🤣🤣🙏🏼”, she began the post.

“Joking aside, I woke up this morning feeling grateful for such an amazing day with the Dancing on Ice team yesterday. Such a delight to meet everyone and feeling lucky to be working with such a lovely cast and crew ❤️ An extra surprise was meeting my wonderful skate pro @andybuchanan2 I am so excited to be partnered with you and am ready for some hard work! I can’t wait to get started! ⛸ #letsgo #dancingonice”.
