Kem Cetinay reveals he’s found Dancing on Ice training hard but is now ‘fearless’ in his skates
KEM Cetinay has admitted he finds the Dancing on Ice training hard - but is now "fearless" in his skates.
The Love Island winner has signed up for the rebooted ITV show alongside the likes of Brooke Vincent and Jake Quickenden.
But Kem, 21, revealed to The Sun Online that he was initially unsure about doing the show.
He said: "It took me a couple months to decide to do it.
"When I found out I went to the rink to see how I get on, realised how bad I was but a couple of months later I decided I was going to do it.
"I started the training and it was hard at first. I was so nervous.
"I’m not spending as much time with the plastic penguin any more but I am fearless and I’m falling over more now I haven’t got the penguin because I’m just really clumsy."
Kem - who split from Love Island girlfriend Amber Davies earlier this month - also spoke about how his clumsiness leaves him fearful for his skating partner, Alex Murphy.
He told The Daily Star: "I’m more worried about it being ‘Death On Ice’.
"I’m just not sure whose death. I’m scared of dropping Alex on her head or tripping her over.
"She’s been great and has got a lot of faith in me, but I can be clumsy.
“It will be a miracle if I don’t break something before the show finishes."

He told us: “It’s been a good distraction.
“Even if I’m out there [on the ice] on my own just skating around it’s good to concentrate on something.
“It’s cathartic. I’ve got really into it now as well, I’m videoing it and showing my mum and dad at home and they think it’s really good.”
Dancing on Ice returns on ITV on Sunday, January 6 at 6pm.
