Blind Loughborough athlete in Dancing on Ice Semi Finals

Paralympian Libby Clegg will perform a solo routine to try and make it through to the live finals.

Libby, who has no central vision or depth perception due to deteriorating eye condition Stargardt’s Muscular Dystrophy, is the first blind person to compete on Dancing On Ice after becoming a double Paralympic champion at the 2016 Paralympic Games in the 100m and 200m races.

The 29-year-old, who has lived in Loughborough for a decade, is paired up with professional skater Mark Hanretty. The couple have been in the skate off for the last two weeks. 

Fellow skaters, Joe Swash and Perri Kiely had an immersive insight into the challenges Libby faces on the ice as they tried skating without being able to see. 

Libby will perform on ITV on Sunday evening. Good Luck Libby!!!
