Kelly Holmes has admitted that she is determined to do well in the Dancing On Ice competition.

The double Olympic gold medallist makes no apologies for treating the show as seriously as an Olympic final.

"I believe you should never, ever give up," Kelly told The Mirror. "At least if you have given something 100 per cent you can say you have tried and have no regrets. I believe that anything is achievable as long as the goal is realistic. If someone sets their heart and mind on something, it is achievable."

"If you're a competitive person that's never going to change," she added. "I'm going to be utterly competitive until the last and I'm training hard."
