Angela Rippon has agreed to compete in the next series of Dancing On Ice, it has been reported.
Rippon - who hosts Cash in the Attic - previously appeared on the judging panel of the ITV skating competition last year as a stand-in for regular judge Robin Cousins.
An insider suggested that Rippon's inclusion on the show may not go down well with her fellow competitors due to her previous experience on the programme.
The source told The Sun: "This is like judge Dannii Minogue competing on The X Factor, or Arlene Phillips on Strictly Come Dancing. She's got an unfair advantage."
Meanwhile, rumoured participant Kerry Katona is already said to have provoked a reaction from other celebrity contestants.
"They are jealous of the time she gets on the rink and the coaching," the source explained.
Dancing On Ice returns to ITV on January 9, 2011.
