OHMYGOSSIP — Ricky Hatton is set to take part in ‘Dancing On Ice’. The 44-year-old former boxer – who retired from the sport in 2012 – is preparing to start training for the show, which returns to screens in January, and has no qualms about getting stuck in on the ice. A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “Ricky has a huge following and will be a hit with viewers. He has no fear.” Last month, Sky released documentary ‘Hatton’ and in the film, Ricky spoke of how he fell into depression, leading him to turn to drink and drugs, but he’s focused on the positives in his life now. He said in the documentary: “Drugs felt like a replacement. If you’re in a bad place, it gives you a false reading. “I kept a lot of it hidden. I didn’t care. I just didn’t want to live. But I’m done with all the bulls**t. I just want to be happy with my family now. Too many bad times. Enough’s enough.” News of Ricky’s decision to sign up for the skating show comes shortly after it was revealed S Club singer Hannah Spearritt – who pulled out of the group’s upcoming reunion tour following the death of bandmate Paul Cattermole – will also be taking part. A source previously told The Sun newspaper: “Hannah is raring to go for Dancing On Ice and is working hard in training. Things have been tough with Hannah over the past 12 months and she hopes that appearing on the show will give her a much needed boost. “Hannah is a seasoned performer and a great dancer so there is a good chance that she could go far in the series, as long as she nails the skating.” Stephen Mulhern is rumoured to be replacing Phillip Schofield as co-host of the show alongside Holly Willoughby.
