Dancing On Ice contestant Joe Swash says he would back his girlfriend Stacey Solomon should she put on her skates for next year's series.
Joe , 38, who is gearing up to take to the ice rink on Sunday for the series finale, said he'd love to see the Loose Women host taking part next year.
The dad-of-two said: "I'd definitely put Stacey on the ice. She can get an idea of how hard it is!
"I don't think anyone realises how tough it is until you do it. The thing is with this show, it's not always about how famous or popular you are, it's about your journey and how you grow in the series."
