The 39-year-old told Loose Women panelists that she wont be taking a break from her soap role, but will instead scale down appearances on the show whilst she trains for Dancing on Ice.
Jane has been keeping her Dancing on Ice stint under wraps since July, giving soap bosses time to give her Corrie alter ego some down time on the show.
She said: “Ill still be there just not as much as I usually will be. Ill have a quieter patch in the story, and next week theres a big week for Leanne so the way the storys going she will have a quieter bit.”
Speaking of the dangers involved with the extreme competition, Jane added that she is expecting a little rough and tumble.
“When you take on something like this you have to accept there are risks, but Im trying not to think about not being damaged.”
She then added shell be getting some tips of her fellow Corrie stars Samia Ghadie, Brooke Vincent and Anthony Booth, who have all done Dancing on Ice.
Following the news, fans have been very quick to share their congratulations for Janes confirmed spot on the show.
