Eleven celebrities are ready to risk life and limb on ITV’s Dancing on Ice , with the line-up wobbling across the rink under the watchful eyes of judges Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean , Oti Mabuse and Ashley Banjo . Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern are our hosts for the 2025 series and it turns out that contestant Ferne McCann has already had experience of the more gruesome side of ice-skating.
Former TOWIE star Ferne may look like an ice rink natural in training photos with professional skater Brendyn Hatfield, however the 34-year-old wasn’t so sure after a bumpy start to her skating career. “My first ever experience on the ice wasn’t great and left me scarred, it was the first time I ever went to A&E and got stitches,” she said. “I went to an ice skating party when I was seven and this boy skated into me and his skate went into my leg, but I love that story because like anything in my life, I get back up and here we are.”.
There are 10 other celebrities joining her on the rink for the new series of Dancing on Ice who would probably rather not hear about skating injuries while they are in training. Here are the brave souls joining Ferne on the ice:. Expect to see some TOWIE stars in the audience to cheer Dan on. “Joey Essex is a very good friend of mine who has previously done the show and he’s given me a bit of advice,” he says. “And I know Diags and Lockie will be there.” Dan says he is “going for the win”, despite having very little skating experience, and his main worry isn’t the dancing. “I’m a bit nervous about the outfits, I’ve said that as long as they keep me away from the little sparkly hot pants it should be fine.”.
