Hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley teased his name throughout the morning, holding up clues like ski goggles and gold mdeals for veiwers.

Asked why he'd signed up to the tough show by Ben, Steve, 62, said: "I don't know.

"But earlier this year on the series it was Torvil and Dean's 40th anniversary of winning their gold medal, and it's my 40th anniversary as well ... and we're friends.

"Some of my friends are saying it's a midlife crisis, but I'm too old for a midlife crisis!"

He revealed their training starts next week and he can't wait.

Cat asked: "Don't take this the wrong way but have you got ice skates to fit you?"

Steve replied: "I've got very big feet, size 12 but very wide. So I'm having some shoes made for me."

Steve said he has "no idea" who he's going to be paired with but admitted as the "oldest and heaviest" on the show, at 120 kilos, he has asked for "somebody big".

The Olynpics legend, who joined TalkSport this year, has a reputation as one of the greatest rowers of all time.

He has made various appearances on television, both in sports-related programmes and reality TV shows like skiing reality show The Jump in 2015 and Celebrity MasterChef in 2019.

ITV is assembling a stellar cast that so far includes the sporting legend and two Towie stars.
