PATSY PALMER, WHAT ARE YOU MOST NERVOUS ABOUT FOR DANCING ON ICE?
WHEN I was doing Strictly Come Dancing I used to get sick from spinning. I hadn't really watched it so I didn't realise how much spinning was involved. I was really gutted about that because it used to set me back. If I hadn't had that I think I could have gone way further in the competition. I'm hoping that, with the momentum on ice, it won't happen.
I'm obviously nervous about hurting myself, especially at my age as I'm 50 now – I don't want to break any bones or anything! Mainly it's just the physical side that makes me scared, but I know for a fact that I'll be super-nervous when it comes to the live shows – I do get very nervous. But it's good to have a little bit of nerves.
EKIN-SU, YOU'VE JUST WON LOVE ISLAND – WHY DANCING ON ICE NOW?
I'm really competitive and I used to ice-skate when I was a little girl – I did a show when I was six or seven and then I started doing ballet. I've always had a performance side in my blood and I do think Dancing On Ice will be hard, but it's an opportunity to show a different audience a side to me. I think I'd be good and I can see myself winning it.
I've never been scared in my life, I've never been nervous in my life, I've always been confident. I think the only time I'd be nervous would be at the final. I know I'm going to fall and hurt myself because in life you fall and hurt yourself. I'm ready!
THE VIVIENNE, WE ALREADY KNOW YOU'RE A FANTASTIC PERFORMER. WHAT WOULD YOU MOST LOVE TO PERFORM ON DANCING ON ICE?
I used to sit and watch Dancing On Ice and just be in awe. Every time they're flying – it's my dream to fly like in the Mary Poppins routine. I'd love to do Wicked. I'm a big musical theatre geek – I've seen Mary Poppins like 12 times! I love themes like 'icons' because I love Cher and Dolly Parton – anything to do with impersonation, there's just so many different elements to it.
MOLLIE GALLAGHER, WE'RE QUITE FAR FROM CORRIE ON THIS ICE RINK. WHY DID YOU WANT TO LEARN TO SKATE?
I think I've always found the idea of ice skating really magical. There are always ice rinks at Christmas and it has this magic vibe. Also, as I've gotten older I've realised that I don't have very good co-ordination and I'm always thinking 'How can I improve it?'
After doing Dancing On Ice, I'll be able to do anything! I don't even drive, but once I do this I'm going to get that driving licence.
I don't really have any hobbies, I just wanted to be an actor growing up and I put all my time into that. Now, I'm lucky enough to act every day on Corrie so it would be nice to have a hobby as well that I enjoy doing.
NILE WILSON, YOU'VE ALREADY CONQUERED THE OLYMPICS, AND NOW YOU'RE TAKING ON THE ICE – WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO?
It's going to be a really amazing experience. With my gymnastics background I'm body-aware and I'm really passionate about doing something on the ice that no other contestant has done before – I really want to shock the viewers and almost make history!
:: Dancing On Ice airs on ITV1 and ITVX on Sundays at 6.30pm
