'Comedy' Dave Vitty has revealed that he signed up for Dancing On Ice in order to step out from Chris Moyles's shadow.

The 36-year-old, who supports Moyles on his BBC Radio 1 breakfast show, argued that he would be "daft" to pass up solo projects.

He told The Mirror: "I'm seizing on the opportunity of doing other stuff and doing things on my own as well. I think I'd be daft not to."

However, Vitty clarified that his ice escapades should not be taken as a sign that the popular duo will soon part ways.

"We still very much enjoy doing the show," he said. "The chemistry that Chris and I and the rest of the team have is as strong as ever."

Dancing On Ice continues tomorrow at 6.10pm on ITV1.
