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

Much better to have skate off same night again and with shorter, and less breaks, has def flowed a bit more this eve. Still not sold but improved a bit.

Yep, it's the only thing I like better than SCD

Didn't they used to have "required elements" in DOI? Like a jump or a twirl? That would sort some of them out.

Fuzzy I think that comes a bit later on in the series- they usually end up with props, and then flying and stuff by the end

Yes they did Fuzzy! They might bring that back as the series goes on...

Antony and Lemar in the SO for me

so that explains why they have, acc to monkseal, scored 16/23 routines the same then!

Oh dear. Bye bye Lamar then I think. Cheryl should have gone!

I love Lemarr's eyes.

How come they have different outfits for dance off? Donkey do a different dance?

I'm back from what has to be the shortest shower on record. Why isn't AC in the skate off? Or Cheryl?

Donkey do= do they

When Holly says" no one wants to go home tonight" she is wrong. I do.

Lemar ....my autocorrect doesn't like the way he spells his name

Donkey dancing! Ha ha ha ha ha ha.......

Sassy mine neither.

Holly's fake worried/ sympathy face gets on my nerves.

Lemar looks like he can't be bothered.

Who's voting for Cheryl???
Think Lemar will go....

Donkey dancing does describe a lot of what we have seen, though.

Lemar must be getting used to this routine.

Lemar's dance does remind me of a donkey actually.

We should rename the show to Donkeys On Ice

Oooohhhhhh....drama!......

But Jane will go with what Chris says!

Love "Donkeys in Ice" . It is not officially renamed.

Bye Steph. Teflon Lemar wins again.
