Dancing On Ice is back! Time to get your skates on #1

[TheSassyAssassin]

So the Strictly glitter has settled for another year but to fill the void we have the new series of DOI starting this Sunday at 6pm on ITV1.

Our presenters will be Phil & Holly and our judges are Jason Gardiner (he's the Craig!), Torvill and Dean, and Ashley Banjo (from Diversity).

There are 12 brave stars taking to the ice this year. ’Coronation Street’ actors Anthony Cotton and Brooke Vincent lead the way, alongside ‘Hollyoaks’ star Stephanie Waring, Good Morning Britain’s weather presenter Alex Beresford, Love Islander Kem Cetinay, former ‘Great British Bake Off’ champ Candice Brown, singer Lemar, rugby player Max Evans, former ‘X Factor’ contestant Jake Quickenden, Olympian Perri Shakes-Drayton, presenter Donna Air and Bucks Fizz member Cheryl Baker.

There has already been injury - Lemar has replaced cricketer Monty Panesar who literally crashed out with a broken ankle...ouch!

So come and join us...there will be dancing , there will be ice and there will be thread mascots

I am armed with an array of snacks for everyone: meringues dipped in chocolate (I made earlier), Pringles, Kettle Chips and Wotsits! Let's get ready to... err... skate!

Apparently ITV wouldn't insure T&D to go on the ice.....

Edit: let's get ready to tumble!

I'm betting that that Kem or whatever his name is from Love Island will go first. Apparently he keeps falling over!!!

Evening all , I took skating lessons after watching this a few years ago , I think it's one of those things you can either do well or can just about get round the rink . Here we go !!!!

Hi all. Am slightly embarrassed by how excited I am right now.

[FuzzyCustard]

Cheryl Baker must be our 59-er?

[allaboutthatsass]

And mad that there is no Frankie in this one

[84CharingCrossRoad]

Lovely Jake Quickenden is on...... I met him at the A Great Big World concert at the same time he was in XF. He sang their song for his audition. Top top gorgeous bloke!!!

[TheSassyAssassin]

Easily Fuzzy but right now am a tad distracted by Thom Evans....Mmmm...

[FuzzyCustard]

Woah...she's 63...you go Cheryl!

I don’t know nowhere who most of the celebs are. It really is Strictly’s poor relation for the real z listers.

Holly's looking trim

[TinselAngel]

Holly must be freezing.

[TheSassyAssassin]
