Six celebrities mark their TV debuts on skates tonight (Sunday) as Dancing On Ice 2023 begins with the first of two episodes in its split premiere.
The first group of skaters – including former EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer – open the ITV reality competition’s 15th series before another five celebrities brave the slippery surface next Sunday. Palmer, 50, will compete with her professional partner Matt Evers, 46, who has been with the show since its launch in 2006.
Palmer said: “I thought I wasn’t going to do this because it’s going to be too hard. I was also thinking about my age and that I might hurt myself, and I’m (based) in LA, I didn’t know how it would work.
