The first Dancing on Ice live show airs on Sunday night as the skating competition kicks off – with presenter Holly Willoughby making her TV comeback.
And the stars were busy getting camera-ready for the show during the day, with former Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas, 39, having a spray tan.
The actor showed off his muscles as he shared a snap to his Instagram Story and penned in the caption: ‘Best part about @dancingonice’.
Meanwhile another contestant on the show Claire Sweeney, 52, donned a sheet mask as she got her glam on.
The Brookside star was also having her hair done as she wrote under the Instagram snap: ‘The glamour begins for tonight’s show!’

Elsewhere comedian Lou Sanders, 38, showed off a bright red manicure as she joked: ‘@dancingonice turning this trucker into a lady!’
Athlete Greg Rutherford, 37, also shared snaps from the dressing room, but appeared to be slightly under the weather as he sipped on a Lemsip.
It comes after Ryan revealed this week that he suffered a ‘tough fall’ during Dancing On Ice rehearsals, just days before the launch show.
The star is partnered with professional skater Amani Fancy.
The pair appeared on This Morning to talk about their progress so far on the show, which begins on Sunday night.
However, Amani explained: ‘I mean we’ve got a long journey ahead of us, we need to make sure that what happened in practice a few weeks ago doesn’t happen in the live shows – which was quite a tough fall.
‘But it’s not easy, they’ve got to lift us, they’ve got a life in their hands.’
Host Josie Gibson also asked: ‘Is he a good student?’ with Ryan replying: ‘I’m hard work Josie.’

Amani added: ‘He’s got good self-awareness but he’s an interesting student and we works harder than anyone else I know.
‘He’ll go to his paddle competitions, go to PT, be with his kids and go to skating. He tries to stay focused, I’ll tell him to go on your right leg but he’ll do it on his left leg.
‘He’ll chuckle and not come back until I’ve calmed down a little bit, it’s like a little kid on ice.’
Amani previously shared a selection of snaps with the actor on social media, writing: ‘I’ve honestly been hoping for this pairing since the @dancingonice line up came out after watching an interview Ryan was on, to the point where I’ve nagged production to tell me if it was him countless times but had no luck until today.’
‘I’m so proud to be your partner and cannot wait to see you thrive and become the skater I know you can be. Who knows, maybe we won’t be able to tell who the professional is by the end of the competition.’
Holly will present the new series with Stephen Mulhern after Phillip Schofield stepped back from TV after his affair with a This Morning runner was revealed.
Holly also quit This Morning last year after a former Essex security guard was charged with contacting a hitman in the US to kidnap and murder her.
Dancing On Ice begins on Sunday January 14 at 6:30pm on ITV.
