Soccer Xtreme : The 24-year old Spanish hotshot revealed his Dancing On Ice wish when he was asked in his homeland how he had settled down to life on Merseyside. Nando said he watched all the TV sport he could and his favourite gangster movies such as Goodfellas, The Godfather and Casino.
He added: “The television in England is very good and there is a lot that I enjoy to watch.
“There is a programme called Dancing On Ice where a celebrity and a skater perform together. It is very artistic and elegant to watch. The couples move very gracefully together.
“Sometimes the celebrity will fall over, which can be amusing.
“But it must be very difficult. One day perhaps you may see me on the programme, too.”
Madrid-born Nando’s Liverpool team-mates are well aware of his love for the Sunday night ITV1 show, which stars former Olympic ice dance champs Christopher Dean, 50, and Jayne Torvill, 51.
A club insider revealed how Torres makes arrangements to have it recorded if his football commitments get in the way.
But the source added: “He’s going to have to wait until his playing days are over before he hits the ice.
“Can you imagine Rafa’s face if he was told his £20m star player had injured himself doing a pirouette on the rink? It doesn’t bear thinking about.”
