The nerves seemed to be setting in for the Dancing On Ice stars on Sunday, as they left their hotel to head to get ready for the first live show.
The new series will launch on Sunday night at 6.30pm on ITV and will see the first six celebrities take to the ice.
The following week, the other six stars will have their turn to perform and the first elimination will take place.
And it seems the first group up are Claire Sweeney, Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards, Adele Roberts, Greg Rutherford, Ricky Norwood and Ricky Hatton.
The stars were seen looking anxious as they lugged their bags towards Bovingdon Airfield, where the show is filmed.
