FORMER welterweight world champion Ricky Hatton has recently joined the lineup of Dancing On Ice.
The former boxer will take part in the primetime ITV ice-dancing show alongside the likes of former Corrie star Ryan Thomas and Love Island’s Amber Davies.

But away from the show, the athlete lives a life of luxury in his stunning mansion which includes a gold dining room and diamante door handles.
The 45-year-old boxing promoter previously took part in a BBC Comic Relief special called ‘This is MY House‘ which aired in March of last year.
Dragons’ Den’s Deborah Meaden, barrister and TV presenter Rob Rinder and popstar Claire Richards all joined him inside his lavish Manchester home.
Each of them had to try to convince judges Claudia Winkleman, Chris Eubank, Harry Hill and Nina Wadia that it was their place.
But the former boxer looked more at home inside the golden dining room compared to the others.
In his seven-seater home cinema, the walls were covered with pictures – which drew Eubank’s attention.
Eubank, being a former boxing world champion himself and prone to vanity, didn’t rule out having photos of his glory days plastered around his house.
Inside the cinema room happened to be a photo of the Sex in the City cast, which Hatton says he watched before a world title fight.
Rinder said: “The idea that he watches it the night before pulverising somebody, he’s sort of sitting back wondering ‘what would Samantha [Jones] say?’”
Once the BBC episode was all said and done, Hatton gave the picture a kiss.
Hatton also has a stunning, bright indoor pool with seating and sun loungers.
When Rinder asked Hatton if he had a pool at his home, Hatton quipped: “I do actually, you’re looking at it. Any more of that and I’ll chuck you in it.”
The Hitman says he has an eye for interior design, which is why he selected a diamante panther and crocodile.
The Brit is in talks over a potential return to the ring.
SunSport revealed earlier this month that preliminary talks over an exhibition bout against former world champion Marco Antonio Barrera had taken place.
But Mexican mauler Barrera, 48, will find it strange sharing the ring with Hatton after years of friendship.
