January 7th 2025.
The new year brings with it a fresh start, and for fans of Dancing On Ice, that means a brand new season full of glitz, glamour, and of course, skating. This year, the cast of the highly anticipated 2025 edition has undergone some major makeovers, and we can't wait to see them in action.
As always, the show will be hosted by the lovely Holly Willoughby, who will be joined by Stephen Mulhern for his second season as co-presenter. Mulhern took over the reins from Phillip Schofield last year and has been a welcome addition to the dynamic duo. And let's not forget about the iconic judging panel, led by Olympic legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, along with returning judges Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse.
The 2025 lineup is stacked with some exciting stars who are all eager to hit the ice and show off their skills to the nation. From a Coronation Street legend to an EastEnders powerhouse, and even some fiery reality TV personalities, there's something for everyone to enjoy over the coming weeks.
In a sneak peek at the new season, the celebs are seen posing with their professional partners after undergoing stunning makeovers. Among the stars competing this year is Towie's very own Dan Edgar, who will be skating with none other than Vanessa James Amoros, a seasoned pro with an impressive collection of Olympic medals.
Dan rose to fame on Towie in 2015 and has since become a household name. But he's not the only Towie star taking on the challenge, as Ferne McCann is also lacing up her skates. Ferne, who became a household name after appearing on the show in 2013, will be partnered with American pro and fan favorite Brendyn Hatfield, who is also dating former contestant, S Club's Rachel Stevens.
Mollie Pearce, who reached the final of BBC's The Traitors in 2024, is another reality star competing in Dancing On Ice this year. She narrowly missed out on the prize pot of over £90,000, but she's back and ready to give it her all with her partner, Colin Grafton. Mollie, who was born without fingers on her right hand, is using her platform to raise awareness for limb deficiencies and stomas.
But it's not just reality stars that will be gracing the ice this year. We also have two titans of the soap world joining the lineup, with Coronation Street's Sam Aston and EastEnders' Charlie Brooks both taking on the challenge. Sam has been melting hearts since his debut as Ches in 2003, while Charlie has been a fixture on our screens since 1999 and recently celebrated her 1,000th episode on the show.
And let's not forget about the other soap star joining the lineup, Waterloo Road's Chelsee Healey. The 36-year-old actress will be skating with her partner, Andy Buchanan, and we can't wait to see her bring her drama skills to the rink.
Rounding off the lineup are some well-known sports stars, including former footballer Anton Ferdinand and retired rower Sir Steve Redgrave, who is the oldest contestant at 62. They'll be competing against TV host Michaela Strachan, stand-up comedian Josh Jones, and Love Island's very own troublemaker, Chris Taylor.
Unfortunately, Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey had to pull out of the show due to a fractured ankle, but there's still plenty of talent to look forward to. Dancing On Ice returns on Sunday, January 12, on ITV1 and ITVX, so mark your calendars and get ready to be entertained. And if you have any celebrity stories, videos, or pictures, don't hesitate to get in touch with the entertainment team. We'd love to hear from you!
