Chico, who shot to fame after appearing on the 2005 series of Simon Cowell's talent show, said of taking part in the series: "Whilst I'm really excited about being part of the new series of Dancing on Ice it's not necessarily in the best of circumstances."
He added: "I wish Chesney all the best and a speedy recovery. I will not just be skating for myself I will be skating for Chesney as well and do him proud."
Dancing On Ice, which also features Sugababes singer Heidi Range and actress Jennifer Ellison, starts this Sunday (8th Jan) at 6.30pm on ITV1.
