The former Love Islander was bundled up against the cold of the rink in a long, gray padded coat and wore a light gray hat.
She paired it with a black top and black leggings and of course with white skates.
Amber looked radiant as she showed off her fresh look during the workout session.
Standout celebrities set to star in the 2024 ITV series include professional boxer Ricky Hatton, actress Claire Sweeney, comedian Lou Sanders, BBC radio presenter Adele Roberts, Olympic ski jumper Eddie Edwards and more.
The star-studded cast began training in early October when light welterweight world champion Ricky, 45, shared a sweet snap of them all posing for a group photo – and everyone was thrilled as they began their adventure on the rink.
Holly Willoughby was reportedly in no rush to get back to work in time for the new series of Dancing On Ice in January.
The 42-year-old TV presenter suddenly left This Morning last week after 14 years as an alleged plot to kidnap and murder her came to light.
In a statement, the popular star said she was stepping down “for my family” and was questioning her future TV career and collaboration with ITV.

But a source has now revealed to The Sun that the broadcaster has put “no pressure” on Holly to return to DOI and will support her holiday “for as long as she needs it”.
“Everyone around her – family, friends and her team – agreed that a really good break from work would do her good.”
“ITV have reassured her that there is no pressure to be ready for Dancing on Ice, although she remains a much-loved part of the family.”
Before we continue: “After all, work on the skate show begins in December with shoots and promo, and no one wants to put unrealistic expectations on Holly’s shoulders and make her feel like she has to come back quickly, especially because no one knows how and when.” The legal proceedings continue.
Web has contacted Holly’s representatives for comment.
It came after Amber made a surprise cameo in an episode of The Kardashians that shocked fans.
In one of the October episodes of the iconic show, Kim Kardashian was seen taking her seven-year-old son Saint and his friends on an epic soccer trip across Europe.
While in London, the 42-year-old reality star took the boys to an Arsenal game before they enjoyed a West End show.

Easy to do: Holly Willoughby was reportedly in no rush to get back to work in time for the new series of Dancing On Ice in January (pictured on the show in February).
The group was filmed at the Adelphi Theater after seeing the musical Back to the Future, where they went backstage to meet the stars of the show.
One of those was none other than Amber – who pursued a career in theater after winning the third series of Love Island with Kem Cetinay.
In the scene, Kim and the boys were seen hanging out with the cast as she gushed, “The cast is so cute and so much fun and everyone is just doing these funny TikTok dances.” It’s just such a cool experience. ‘
Kim then posed for a group photo with the cast and added, “Thank you so much guys. ‘It’s just a great show.’
The former Love Islander discussed the moment on social media, replying to a fan who tweeted that they “didn’t expect” to see her on their screens.
She admitted: “I didn’t put that on my bingo card for 2023 either.”
The Dancing on Ice star went on to share a clip from the show with the caption: “A break I won’t soon forget.” “Mom I did it.”
Amber documented the meeting back in March when she shared a picture with Kim and Saint on Instagram.
She wrote at the time: “Thank you for coming to see @bttfmusical.” Ummmmmmm…… My life is made. @Kim Kardashian.”
