The Traitors star Mollie Pearce is swapping Claudia Winkleman's Scottish castle for the rink as she joins the 2025 Dancing On Ice series. The star rose to fame during season 2 of The Traitors, savegely loosing out to best mate, and Traitor Harry Clark. Since the age of 18, Mollie has lived with her stoma, which she calls 'Sid'. Now, she's opened up on the impact on the ice.
"It's not been much of an issue for us. I think there's some lifts we’ve talked about and Colin always checks it is okay, but as long as my bag isn't too full then it’s not a problem and it's not stopped us doing anything, Mollie revealed, before stating: "We forget about it a lot of the time.
"I think it's amazing for other people to see someone on TV with a stoma bag," Mollie continued. Last year, viewers saw DJ Adele Roberts take to the rink, the first contestant to compete on the show with a stoma bag. The star underwent colostomy surgery following her cancer diagnosis in 2021 and has since been living with a stoma bag. "I know how much I loved to see Adele on the show so it's really nice," Mollie said.
It's not been an easy ride for Mollie, who suffered an injury just two weeks into learning the basics of skating. The star took a tumble which resulted in her fracturing her left wrist. Due to this, the first four weeks of training with her professional dance partner Colin Grafton were spent off the ice.
