HOLLY WILLOUGHBY AND STEPHEN MULHERN CONFIRMED TO HOST DANCING ON ICE 2024

ITV have confirmed that Holly Willoughby will return to TV to host Dancing On Ice 2024, alongside new host and personal friend Stephen Mulhern when the skating contest returns in January.

Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning said: “Holly and Stephen are two of our best loved presenters, so reuniting them 20 years after they first appeared on screen together to host Dancing on Ice marks the start of an exciting year for the show.”

2024 will see the celebrity contestants and their professional partners skating live each week in a bid to impress both the panel and the viewers at home who will ultimately decide who wins the show.

On hand to offer their critique are Olympic winners and ice skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, presenter and choreographer Ashley Banjo MBE, and dancer and presenter Oti Mabuse.

The celebrities strapping on their skates in the hope of winning the competition are world champion boxer Ricky Hatton MBE, actress Claire Sweeney, actress and singer Hannah Spearritt, West End star Amber Davies, Olympic champion and presenter Greg Rutherford MBE.

Plus TV personality Miles Nazaire, comedian and writer Lou Sanders, actor Ricky Norwood, broadcaster and DJ Adele Roberts, actor Ryan Thomas, Emmerdale star Roxy Shahidi, and Olympic legend Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards.

Expertly guiding the celebrity novices from their shaky first steps to spectacular routines are their professional partners - series favourites Vanessa Bauer, Mark Hanretty, Brendyn Hatfield and Sylvain Longchambon return, and also joining them are Dancing on Ice regulars Colin Grafton, Tippy Packard, Andy Buchanan and wife Robin Johnstone.

Completing the professional team are three brand-new additions to the 2023 line-up as world-class national skaters Amani Fancy, Vanessa James, Annette Dytrt and Simon Senecal all make their Dancing on Ice debuts.

Dancing On Ice returns mid-January on ITV1.
