With the new year fast approaching, ITV are getting ready to launch a brand new series of Dancing on Ice, the greatest show on ice.
Back in October, ITV announced which celebrities will be taking part in the new series which begins Sunday 6th January at 6pm.
Twelve celebrity skaters will be taking to the ice in a blaze of glory as each week they go head to head in a bid to become champions of the ice.
Once again the celebrities will be paired with professional partners, and their quest for success will be overseen by skating legends Torvill and Dean, who head up the judging panel completed by Jason Gardiner and Ashley Banjo.
Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby will present the show live every week, as one celebrity heads home after a combination of viewer votes and scores from the judging panel.
Today ITV have released the promo shots for the new series including the portraits of this year's judges and presenters as well as portraits for the first six celebrities and professional partners who'll be skating in week one. And here they are...
