In January 2006, Andrea took part in ITV's reality ice-skating competition Dancing on Ice. Her professional skating partner was Doug Webster. She was eliminated in Week 3. Andrea and fellow ex-contestant Andi Peters presented the weekday fan show Dancing on Ice Extra for the rest of the show's run.
