Dancing On Ice have given fans a first look ahead of the show's return this month.
The ITV skating spectacular is back this month with a whole host of new stars ready to take to the ice and compete to be crowned the 2023 champion of the 'greatest show on ice'. Among the celebrities taking part are The Wanted star Siva Kaneswaran, singer Michelle Heaton, comedian Darren Harriott, Hollyoaks star Carly Stenson, Joey Essex and The Vivienne.
Also taking part is Coronation Street's Mollie Gallagher, gymnast Nile Wilson, Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, footballer John Fashanu and EastEnders legend Patsy Palmer.
In new look pictures, hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield looked glam in their pre-show photoshoot. Holly wowed in a sparkly number as she held onto Phil, who looked sharp in a light grey blazer.
The four judges – skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse – are back to give their verdicts on their routines each week and the group looked glam as they posed for photos together.
Former Strictly Come Dancing star Oti wore a stunning one shouldered dress, which cinched in at the waist, whilst Jayne looked like every inch the Ice Queen as she sparkled in a beautiful ballgown complete with shimmery detail.
Dancing On Ice is back this month, with fans no doubt eager to see how the celebrities take to the ice. EastEnders star Patsy was the first star to be announced for the new series last year, when it was confirmed she'd be switching her new home in America for the UK.
"Out of all the things that came through at that time, this was the one that I had to really think about. I wanted to challenge myself, get back to work, get out of my comfort zone. And I just thought 'Oh I'll just go for it', it seems like a lot of fun and I do love ice skating but I'm not an ice skater!," she said of her decision to join the ITV skating show.
Ahead of the previous series, hosts Holly and Phil previously spoke of their "ease" at working with one another.
Speaking about their friendship and close bond, Holly told The Mirror and other press: "They're different shows and that's what's so nice about it. There's a real ease when we work together. I t's not like you're going in like, oh we just need to find our feet or rhythm, it's an absolute given. It's nice to be doing something a bit different but still together."
"I agree. The lovely thing is, I get to spend even more time with my best mate," Phil added, "It's lovely and I adore Holly completely and absolutely and so to be able to joke around together in the mornings - and there's no question that This Morning is a different sort of style of show to this one, and people may not even watch us in the mornings but they'll come to us at nights.
"It's a shiny show, it's a big glitzy, wonderfully produced and gorgeous looking show. So yeah, it's nice to have a mate."
*Dancing on Ice returns this January on ITV1 and ITVX.
