ITV have confirmed that the upcoming series of Dancing on Ice will be returning very soon, with a fresh batch of celebrities itching to get their skates on.
The long-running programme has been on our screens since 2006, with This Morning duo Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby as presenters.
Olympic legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean will be taking their rightful place as head judges on the ice panel, alongside former Strictly Come Dancing pro Oti Mabuse and Diversity frontman Ashley Banjo.
Towards the end of 2022, celebrities including the likes of Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Towie star Joey Essex, and Coronation Street actress Mollie Gallagher were confirmed for the 2023 line-up.
But fans were still waiting for the official premiere date.
Well, the wait is over as the network has revealed that the show will return on Sunday, January 15 at 6.30pm.
