She may have lost out on bagging the Dancing On Ice crown but Faye Brookes is skating off with some lucrative TV deals following her success on the show. The former Corrie star came second against winner Sonny Jay in yesterday’s final - even though she was the firm favourite to win.

An insider told The Sun: “Faye is the real winner of Dancing On Ice as appearing on the show has given her such a publicity boost.

“Most people recognise Faye as Kate from Coronation Street but Dancing On Ice has shown the other side of her.

“Faye is down-to-earth, bubbly and great on camera – and TV executives have her in their sights.

“Of course she’s not going to rush into anything, but Faye is definitely going to be on-screen more later on this year.

“While she is a serious actress, there is scope for her to move into presenting if she wants.

“Dancing On Ice is a huge career boost for most stars but it’s likely Faye is going to really cash in from her appearance.

“Even though she didn’t win, she will be laughing all the way to the bank.”

Faye said about her time on the show: “All I wanted to do was get here - I did it as a personal challenge. It couldn’t have gone to a better guy.”

Capital FM star Sonny was crowned the winner also beating athlete Colin Jackson who came third.
