But who is Vicky Ogden and has she won the show before?

Vicky made her Dancing on Ice debut in 2012 with Coronation Street actor Andy Whyment and they were the 10th couple to be voted off the show.
The following year, Vicky was paired with Joe Pasquale and they became the sixth couple to be eliminated.
In the final series of the original Dancing On Ice in 2014, Vicky was paired with Sam Attwater and they went on to win the show.

In February 2016, Vicky announced that she was expecting a baby and they welcomed Rosie the same year.
