Dancing On Ice 2021

[Cleoriff]

The first of 12 contestants has been announced for the new series starting in 2021

Myleene Klass

The judging panel remains the same as last year with Torvill and Dean, AShley Banjo and John Barrowman.

It will be hosted by Phil and Holly.

I read somewhere there will be a change in professional skaters. Not sure of all of them, though I do know that Alex Murphy who partnered Joe Swash to his unexpected win last year, has not been asked to return!

Dancing on Ice confirms Professionals for 2021

Dancing on Ice confirms its line up of professional skaters who will be pairing up with this year’s celebrities ahead of the forthcoming 2021 series.

Dancing on Ice regular Matt Evers, who has been a part of the show since it launched on ITV in 2006 will be returning to the ice alongside series favourites Alexandra Schauman and husband Lukasz Rozycki, Mark Hanretty, Hamish Gaman, Brendyn Hatfield and Vanessa Bauer who will be taking their place alongside the class of 2021.

Former Dancing On Ice alumni Andy Buchanan and wife Robin Johnstone return to the ice.   Andy previously skated with Anthea Turner (2013) and Zaraah Abrahams (2014), whilst Robin partnered Gareth Thomas (2013) and Joe Pasquale (2014). 

New additions to the line-up are professional coach and Disney On Ice star Angela Egan, Klabera Komini who is joining the cast as the current reigning champion from Dancing On Ice in the Netherlands and Yebin Mok, who is a member of the UK coaching elite and co-founder of Ice Theatre.  Yebin is married to last year’s professional skater, Doctor and Orthopaedic surgeon Tom Naylor.   

Completing the line-up are former competitive skaters and Cirque Du Soleil performers Karina Manta and skating partner Joe Johnson, who will lead the professional group performances. 

All of the celebrity and professional skating partnerships will be confirmed in due course. 

Pleased to see Matt Evers is back.

A few pairings have been announced

Myleene and Lucasz

Faye Brookes and Hamish. (Good, this should help him to get over the capriciousness of Caprice!!)

Jason Donovan and Alexandra

Unfortunately the pairings are released in dribs and drabs so I have no more info.

Certainly not making a big thing of it as yet....

[Cleoriff]

All pairings are now announced...

Thank you @Cleoriff 

Outstanding pairing gotta be Matt Evers with Denise van Outen

Like you Cleo I have always enjoyed Matt's dancing

I believe Denise came 2nd in SCD, but can't think who to?

I expect to see good things from Myleene Klass

I don't think Jason Donovan will do well, despite his SCD experience and showbiz background ... he showed his hairy armpits wearing vest in SCD training sessions = YUK! 

Remembering the simply stunning waltz Colin Jackson danced with Erin Boag in SCD he should do well, particularly being a retired sportsman used to being coached

Just thinking of James Jordan x-SCD professional dancer winning DOI from day 1

Looking forward to this series ... will bring a sparkle to the beginning of 2021.

Edited for spelling.

From the announced partners, it would seem Matt Evers and Denise van Outen could be the "favourites".

I think there will be some celebs who will give it their all, and some might give us a laugh.

I`m looking forward to seeing how Myleene Klass gets on.

Any celeb, anyone else is looking forward - or not?? 

[Cleoriff]

Problem is, I can't stand Denise Van Outen, although Matt is brilliant. Denise has a great deal of dance experience, she appeared in many West End musicals.

I'm going for two outsiders. (If you don't watch soaps you won't know either )

Joe Warren Plant (who plays Jacob in Emmerdale and has 'grown up' on the show)

Faye Brookes from Corrie. She seems a lovely lass and so pleased she is teamed with Hamish. He deserves a good partner after the disgusting Caprice.

I suppose many will be cheering on Jason Donovan...not one of my favourites.

Such a shame we don't have the real comedy element/skater. Who would ever forget Todd Carty and even Gemma (awful) Collins.

I would have loved to have seen Bez from Happy Mondays, who was on the leaked group of celebs I posted.

He can hardly string two sensible words together, let alone skate, so he would have been great to watch.

@Cleoriff I dislike Denise van Outen too = A Gob On A Stick!

I don't know the 2 soap opera stars you mention though I wish them well

I just don't like Gobby Celebs and will not be voting for any Gobberoffers! or in other words UPTheirOwnAR$eRs! ... that type put me right off

Yes Cleo, the lovely Hamish does deserve a nice celeb partner after the GodDamnAwful Caprice

Who could forget Todd Carty ... a natural comedy element

Really looking forward to it

Thank you for your postings Cleo

[Mi-Amigo]

Just to add, I am no fan of Denise van Outen. In my opinion, her ego puts me off.

I don`t watch the soaps so don`t recognise those soap stars who are appearing but that said Hamish does deserve a decent performer after that awful Caprice.

And as for Todd Carty? A legend - who can forget him on DOI?
