This Morning's Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby shared the news this morning, ahead of the show's launch.
Several celebrities have been rumoured to be on the line-up in recent weeks and Maura was a name that stuck out.
In the last week, the official Dancing On Ice Instagram account teased a close-up picture of one of the contestants and fans were quick to point out the mystery celebrity looked a lot like Maura.
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Extra Camp presenter Joe Swash and Coronation Street star Lisa George, who plays Beth Tinker on the soap, are among some of the other names reported to have signed up to the skating show.
Dancing On Ice will be returning to our screens on ITV after Christmas. We wonder if Maura will be getting any tips from her professional dancer boyfriend Curtis Pritchard before she takes to the ice?
