The 47-year-old – who has won 30 medals at nine different Paralympic Games – confirmed she was “working with the team at ITV to come up with a plan for what’s next”. She said she was also focusing on getting “back to full power and of course back to my bike ahead of next season!”
“My career has seen so many ups and downs with injury and illness, plus returning after two babies, which means I’m well equipped for another comeback,” she wrote.
Some people online have already starting speculating about her making a potential return to the show in 2026.
Dame Sarah, who was made a dame in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to para-cycling, had been the final contestant named on the show’s line-up – alongside fellow celebrities including Olympic rower Sir Steve Redgrave, TV presenter Michaela Strachan and soap stars Charlie Brooks and Sam Aston.
They will be joined on the ice rink by others including former footballer Anton Ferdinand, Hollyoaks actress Chelsee Healey and reality stars Mollie Pearce and Ferne McCann.
