Remember him?

Neighbours actor Mark Little is said to be the latest star to have signed up for the next season of Dancing On Ice.

The actor who played the iconic character Joe Mangel on the soap between 1988 and 1991 and later in 2005 is said to have finally signed on and will head to the UK later this year to begin rehearsals.

“Bosses were desperate to sign him up,” a show insider told The Sun.

“Mark will add a sense of nostalgia to the show – everybody knows who he is.

“Joe Mangel is a Neighbours legend to fans old and new.”

Mark has spent many years working and living in the UK having hosted The Big Breakfast after taking over from Chris Evans and performing in many stage shows, earning him huge accolades like an Olivier award.

With the show due to return to our screens in January, rehearsal is expected to start in early December.

Mark joins the growing list of confirmed stars for the upcoming series including TOWIE legend Gemma Collins, Loose Women panellist Saira Khan, Love Island’s Wes Nelson and former Westlife star Brian McFadden.
