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

its not half dragging on now is it not?

Chemmy it was, thanks Chessie, god my memory is brutal.

I like Matt and Candice, I think she'll get better.

My dinner is moments from being ready. Ooh, almost went over then.

Can see already that Jake can use his edges

the new set is too small and distracting. Don't know half the celebs either.

Was Jake meant to skid on the ice just now?

I really don't like the new set because it's just too different! I don't like different!

WIll this do well then? A few wobbles but looks like a few ambitious moves for a wk1 amateur

I am not feeling this at all. It's all a bit flat isn't it, the whole show.

Voiceover guy is really going for it!

I like Jake, and I enjoyed his performance

It did flow quite well but he reminded me of a teen in hockey skates who was overly confident and out of control on a Saturday afternoon session.

Well done Jake!!!!

I agree Sparkling

It is lacking something.

Are they scoring out of 10 or 6?

Evening can I join in?

I agree too. It's all a bit forced.

Mmmm kettle chips. Thank you.

Well I quite liked Jake's confidence and it was a bit entertaining. Think Jason's score was a bit mean...same as Antony?

I don’t think I’ll be sticking with the serious

I agree re it being a bit flat - not sure what it is though .

I miss Tony Gubba.
