Lee Sharpe has admitted that he is "nervous as hell" about appearing on Dancing On Ice.

The ex-footballer has been training for months in preparation for the programme, and he insists that he won't allow himself to be distracted by his old womanising ways.

"I'm nervous as hell - much more than I ever was before a big game," Lee told The Mirror. "I've trained two hours a day for three months to perfect a one-minute routine. I want to get everything right. Even in rehearsals my legs shake and my palms sweat ."

"The girls on the show are really sexy," he added. "But I don't think anyone's single. My skating partner Frankie is lovely, but she's married. Besides, I'm a good boy now. People always said I had a weakness for women, and that's possibly been true. But I've grown up and seen the error of my ways."

Dancing On Ice airs at 6.40pm and 9.30pm tonight on ITV1.
