Sam appeared on This Morning last month and revealed why he’d signed up, he told viewers: “It came about and it was one of them.
“I hadn’t thought about it in the past, the (Coronation Street) press office mentioned it and I thought ‘yeah’.”
Sam said he auditioned to get a basic sence of what it would be like.
He said: “They basically stand you on the ice. But I got a real buzz experiencing it a little bit.
“My son is pretty excited about it, he’s only young but when I told him he said, ‘can I come, can I come?’ He’s only four!”
He added: “It’s nice for the public to see me as me and not Chesney!”
Sam will be in good company with other soap stars including EastEnders Charlie Brooks and Hollyoaks‘ Chelsee Healey.
The Sun revealed it pairing as Vanessa Bauer and Love Island hunk Chris Taylor.
Chelsee will be dancing with Andy Buchanan and The Traitors star Mollie Pearce is teamed up with Colin Grafton.
