Take a look as Dancing On Ice winner Ray Quinn urges families to get touchy feely with fish.
After coming runner-up on the X-Factor in 2006 - it's fair to say that Ray Quinn has become somewhat of a national celebrity. With a number one album of Rat Pack covers, a national solo tour, and a West End debut, the 20-year-old Scouser has recently added 'skating star' to his list of accolades after being crowed champion of this year's Dancing On Ice.
Not content with being a champion on dry land, the 'Lord of The Rink' recently swapped his skates for a pair of flippers as he went swimming with other rays in a bid to encourage families to get closer to sea life.
The Dancing On Ice star launched a new pirate-themed aquarium Sharkbait Reef by SEA LIFE at the Alton Towers Resort in Staffordshire. The aquarium, which features a walk-through 10m-ocean tank tunnel, boasts over 300 spectacular species of fish, including sharks, rays, nemos and seahorses. Featuring the UK's only tropical interactive pool, families are able to get touchy feely with the underwater life.
We caught up with Ray to tell us all the gossip on becoming a skating star as the Dancing On Ice tour takes to the road...
