What has Lisa George said about Dancing On Ice?
After announcing she would be joining the Dancing On Ice line up, Lisa - who is paired with professional Tom Naylor - recently admitted her anxiety and nerves could get in the way.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk ahead of the launch, the Corrie actress said: “I’m just ploughing through because I suffer really badly from anxiety and nerves, so if I think about it I might walk out and not do it.
“I just have to not think about it. I love it, I love skating and it’s what I loved as a child.
“It has brought that back to me which is such a lovely feeling of freedom. ‘But I have to forget about the nerves and just get on with it. If I think about it I get nervous and c*** it up.”

Lisa George will be competing alongside Maura Higgins, Kevin Kilbane, Lucrezia Millarini, H from Steps, Ben Hanlin, Perri Kiely, Libby Clegg MBE, Joe Swash, Caprice, Trisha Goddard and Radzi Chinyanganya.
