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

He irritates me as well.

Ooh Jason is as harsh as ever!

[FuzzyCustard]

duck I'm with you there.

[Sparklingbrook]

Yawn. Next!

[Fabellini]

I looove Dancing on Ice and I'm so excited it's back! We got tickets for the tour before we even knew who the celebs were going to be!
Antony Cotton was incredibly annoying just now though

[FuzzyCustard]

About the lack of skating knowledge, rather that a dodgy I pad!

[FuzzyCustard]

Christopher Dean has lovely highlights!

[ellenanora5]

Didn't take long Fuzzy

He's very rude isn't he

[yawning801]

Derailing slightly... did DOI used to be sponsored by a dental care company?

[DuckOffAutocorrectYouShiv]

I think it’s because the storage is full and I need to have a clear out. #shItePad

Candice will be v competitive, I think.

[ChessieFL]

I liked Frankie too. She got together with David Seaman after they skated together on the tour. Don’t know if they got married or if they’re still together. I liked Melanie, who won with Kyran Bracken.

[ellenanora5]

I'm glad Matt is back, I like him.

[blackbunny]

I know nothing about skating but I'm assuming if you stay upright and your arse stays dry, you're halfway there...

[TinselAngel]

I'd forgotten how I always get a bit of a crush on Chris Dean for the duration of DOI.

DH has worked with AC. He was not complimentary about him.

[ChessieFL]

Antony wasn’t too bad, but annoying so I probably won’t vote for him! Brandee seems nice though.

[yawning801]

I'm looking forward to seeing Candice!

[Sparklingbrook]

If we are allowed to choose I will have Ashley Banjo thanks.

[yawning801]

Wait wait wait... there's TWO Banjo's?

[CremeFresh]

I don't like Candice or Anthony Cotton

[Sparklingbrook]

Oooooh there's a brother.

[Sparklingbrook]

I don't like Candice and I have never watched Bake Off.

[TinselAngel]

Is the other Banjo the one they used to put in a bag etc on Britain's Got Talent? If so I'm old.

[ellenanora5]

That's his name, thank you Chessie, I couldn't remember.

Wasn't there a celeb on it once called Chessie, think she was a skier

[CJCreggsGoldfish]

Candice annoyed me on the bake off, so I'm expecting the same here.

A cheeky twofer, sparkling
