DJ Tim Westwood has revealed his plans to get into training after being contacted by Dancing On Ice bosses inviting him on to the next series.The presenter, who hosts a hip hop show on Radio 1, also claimed show bosses had offered him £60,000 - a full £10,000 more than other contestants are thought to be paid - within hours of him telling fans he was mulling over the offer.
He told his listeners via Twitter he was considering slipping on the skates and sequins to appear on the ITV1 show then asked for their thoughts.
He wrote: "Been offered £50,000 to go on Dancing On Ice - could you see me wearing sequinned outfits! Should I do it?"
He received a huge response, but he was worried about whether the responses urging him to do it were genuine.
He added: "Why is everyone sayin I should do it! I'd have to dance on ice with a woman who looks like a man in drag.
"I need to know - are you saying 'yes' for my benefit or so you can have a cruel cheap laugh at my expense?"
During today's edition of his Radio 1Xtra show he reckoned the fee was creeping up. "I have now been offered £60,000 - they have put it up by ten grand overnight.
"They phoned the office and they said, 'We really want Westwood to go in on the ice'."
He said he had been to a London rink to practice last night but it had already closed so he went bowling, explaining: "I'm in training. I'm eating a lot of protein right now. I'm eating a chicken now. Apparently, I have to eat four chickens a day.
"Anyway," he jokes. "I don't know whether I should try and squeeze them a 100k or if I should hold out for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!"
Do you think Tim Westwood should go on the show?
