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

Not much point in Chris or Jayne being head judge.

And I'm going to finish off the bottle of apple juice!

I'm not sure what to think... surely Lemar and Melody were less polished?

At least Steph has a proper regular job to go back to.

But it should have been based on the skate off- and Chros and Jayne clearly didn't base it on that, then.

I give you donkeys on ice.

I thought Lemar had more content and tried a bit harder.

Wow! Well. Lemar is still gonna be up next week if he doesn't have the public vote. That was a quick end...abrupt!

Chris said they were better even with the stumble

Lovely "bubbly"!

Second time I have called the bottom 2 and been foiled at the last minute! i am now hoping Lemar is bottom every week til the final and we see Grenade a dozen times

Yay. New official thread mascot! Donkeys On Ice rocks!

Next time, they should ask Jayne first. So she doesn't just repeat what Chris says...

I love the Donkeys on Ice.

They look familiar

I missed his last dance off- is it the same dance off piece every time then? He should be brilliant at it soon!

Jayne went first last week - they are alternating head judge role.

and here comes Chrisnjayne in a special outfit..

Nooo the picture failed and spoilt my surprise. :(

Night! See you next week x

Hmmn not sure I like this as much as I used to, but your company made it fun, thanks folks, see you next week.

Oh, no it didn't. Bloody hell this has turned into a right pantomime.

Was Lemar’s save me skate the same as last week?

I think the skate off was the same for Lemar.

Was putting DD to bed. Yep, same routine for Lemar as last week. So yep. Should have it nailed next week! Right well. We survived another week. Yay. And hopefully will catch you all for more DOI next week if not before. Eeyore! 😂🐴🐴🐴

I’m gutted sylvain has gone, he’s hot! Although he had zero chemistry with his partner.

I recorded it tonight and watched the whole show in about fifty minutes

I don't like Brooke or Anthony, they don't come across as nice people [and he was a complete tool in the jungle]

I like Perry and her partner.

Chris and Jayne sound bored.

Ashely is nice and I don't mind Jason.

It's not what of used to be, but I'll still hold out for it to get better.

This is being shared a lot just now and it's a real treat if you haven't already seen it - trouble is it makes doi just look worse!

Oh wow! Now that is truly dancing on ice. Absolutely breathtaking
