The official Dancing on Ice Twitter account revealed that the Sunday night ice-skating show will finally return to our screens on Sunday 17th January.

The full show line-up was already revealed earlier this year. If you missed it, the Dancing on Ice 2021 line-up is:

  • Actor and performer Jason Donovan
  • Musician and presenter Myleene Klass
  • British rapper Lady Leshurr

One of these twelve celebs will follow in the footsteps of Dancing on Ice 2020 winner Joe Swash to become the next winner of the greatest show on ice.

Several stars have already taken to the web to share how well their training is going. Myleene Klass shared a video of herself practising a split handstand alongside daughter Ava.

Pro skater Mark Hanretty, who is partnered with Billie Shepherd for 2021, also shared a backstage photo earlier in December. He said that Billie was "managing her nerves so well", and thanked the Dancing on Ice production team for their amazing work keeping the show working under the new COVID regulations.
