Sir Steve Redgrave revealed his signing on daytime show This Morning and told hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard that he will be the the "oldest and heaviest" in the cast.
The five-times gold medalist even joked that his skating partner will have to be "someone big", as he currently tips the scales at 18st 8lbs (120kg).
But the gruelling training regime for DOI could see Steve slimming down, which is likely to be the reason he signed up for it.
