DANCING ON ICE 2024.

[Cleoriff]

Most of the contestants have been announced for the show so I will post them @Mi-Amigo and @sheepdog (and any other members who wish to join in.)

The Contestants

RICKY HATTON MBE (Retired Boxer)

CLAIRE SWEENEY (ACTRESS)

HANNAH SPEARITT (singer S Club 7)

AMBER DAVIES (Love Island/ Now Musicals Star)

GREG RUTHERFORD MBE (Track and  Field Olympian -Long Jump)

MILES NAZAIRE (Reality Star -Made In Chelsea)

STEPHEN LUSTIG-WEBB Hairdresser/Reality Star (Gogglebox)

LOU SANDERS Stand Up Comedian.

RICKY NORWOOD ACTOR (Eastenders)

ADELE ROBERTS Broadcaster and  DJ

ROXY SHAHIDI ACTRESS (Emmerdale)

RYAN THOMAS Actor -Coronation Street. (His brother Adam currently on SCD.)

So 12 contestants currently. I think that will be it.

No word on Judges, although we know Jayne Torville and Christopher Dean will be there.

Presenters.

Originally Stephen Mulhern was replacing Philip Schofield and WAS appearing with Holly Willoughby. However, as she has now left This Morning, it's doubtful whether she will be appearing.

So this thread can be shelved until January. 😂

Thanks for news @Cleoriff 

Looking forward to how Eddie the Eagle copes on the ice. Could be fun and/or interesting.

[sheepdog]

and don't forget Eddie the Eagle was in the Masked Dancer:

If you haven't seen Eddie the Eagle film starring Taron Egerton and Wolverine, you should add it to your watchlist as its very enjoyable.

Looks like Holly is back, she's been confirmed along with Steven Mulherne as the hosts for this forthcoming series: BBC link

No new judges so we're going to see Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse as the other two judges. Interesting section on the wiki over the Pro skaters with some old faces going and surprisingly, the pro who won last year with Nile isn't back. 

Airing on January 14th which is going to clash with a few live football games over on Sky so ITV+1 or ITVX will be dusted off for use.

@sheepdog @Mi-Amigo 

Yes, I heard this morning about Holly.  I think it was a given that Stephen Mulhern would replace Philip. He stood in for him the year when he had Covid.

I was unsure whether Oti would still be judging having just given birth.

I do think they mess the pro skaters about.

Do you remember Alex Murphy who stood in to partner Joe Swash when his first partner fell ill?

They won (it should have been Perry) and she wasn't back the following year!

[Mi-Amigo]

@Cleoriff @sheepdog 

Good to hear that Holly will be back. She and Steve will make a good team in presenting in my opinion.

Shame that some of the pro skaters won`t be appearing. Waiting to see who [if anyone] will replace Oti as judge.

[Cleoriff]

I'll check out who's skating with who and post the partnerships over the weekend.
