Dancing on Ice: Meet the celebrity class of 2025
Let’s meet the celebrities and their partners ahead of tonight’s launch.
Profession: Reality TV star
Partner: Brendyn Hatfield
What did they say?: ‘I’m so excited, it’s going to be a huge challenge but I’m excited for the glitz and glamour of the show.’
Profession: Former Olympic rower
What did they say? ‘It’s like going back to being an athlete again, I’ve been competing most of my life.’
What did they say?: ‘I’ve skated when I was a kid and with mulled wine at Christmas. Until I get on the ice I have no idea how I’m going to be. I’m not that strong.’
Profession: Footballer and pundit
What did they say?: Dancing On Ice will give me that focus but I’m also doing it for my daughter because she loves dance and performing arts.’
What did they say?: ‘I’m somewhere between absolutely terrified and very excited and I keep flitting between the two quite aggressively throughout the day. I’ve not even started stretching yet, I need to.’
What did they say?: ‘I’m ready, I’m good to go, let’s go! I’ve got a bit of rhythm but skating on ice is completely different, I’m excited.
Profession: Reality TV star and model
What did they say?: ‘It will be fun, I want to challenge myself, I’m ready for the challenge.’
Partner: Molly Beth Lanaghan
What did they say?: ‘Anyone at work who I’ve spoken to has done it have all kind of the same thing that it is a great experience and it is really hard, and it’s tiring and tough but it is brilliant as well.’
What did they say? ‘I’ve not got any skating experience whatsoever, I did it once for a date years ago and I wasn’t very good, I was holding onto the railings the entire time and we aren’t together now.’
Profession: Television presenter
What did they say?: ‘It’s going to be a big challenge, I think the last time I was on ice was 14 years ago, because I trained as a dancer, I’ve got a bit of balance, but I have no idea whether I’m going to be good.’
What did they say?: ‘I’m looking forward to it but the thought of the live shows and performing is very real.’
