Ex-Dales star Tamaddon tipped for 'DOI'

Former Emmerdale actress Hayley Tamaddon has reportedly signed up for the next series of Dancing On Ice.

The 32-year-old, who played seamstress Delilah Dingle on the Yorkshire soap, is said to have agreed a deal with the reality show after being backed by some of her former co-stars.

A source told The Sun: "Hayley's really excited. She is a really warm character and usually does well on these things. She has spoken to other Emmerdale stars who have taken part and they all encouraged her."

Tamaddon finished in second place on ITV1's Soapstar Superstar singing competition in 2007. Coronation Street's Antony Cotton (Sean Tully) was the winner of the series.

Hollyoaks actor Kieron Richardson, (Ste Hay), former Coronation Street star Danny Young (Warren Baldwin) and Sir Paul McCartney's ex-wife Heather Mills have all been linked to Dancing On Ice recently.
