The self-styled "greatest show on ice" returns in the new year - Dancing On Ice is back!
The identities of the 12 celebrities donning their skates in the next series have now been revealed, including a mix of sporting legends, soap icons and reality TV veterans.
Scroll on to meet the class of 2025!
Anton Ferdinand
Age: 39
Known For: Former West Ham and Sunderland defender
"I decided to sign up for the show because it's a challenge first and foremost. I'm in a new phase of my life since retiring from football and the one of the things I've missed about playing is the structure it gives you. Dancing On Ice will give me that focus but I'm also doing it for my daughter because she loves dance and performing arts. My son always had my football to shout about so this will give my daughter and me something to share."
Charlie Brooks
Age: 43
Known For: EastEnders legend Janine Butcher
"I'm going to embrace the spray tan. All I want to do is enjoy it and try not to break my leg."
Chelsee Healey
Age: 36
Known For: Goldie McQueen in Hollyoaks
"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. I'm most excited for the live shows, getting to perform live every week will give me a buzz."
Chris Taylor
Age: 34
Known For: Love Island alumnus
"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."
Dame Sarah Storey
Age: 46
Known For: Team GB Paralympics legend
"I'm excited to learn a new skill and have the opportunity to put myself out there and learn a new sport."
Dan Edgar
Age: 34
Known For: TOWIE star
"I'm looking forward to it but the thought of the live shows and performing is very real. I like to think I can ice skate a little bit but I'm a terrible dancer so that bit is going to need some work."
Ferne McCann
Age: 34
Known For: TOWIE alumnus
"I'm so excited, it's going to be a huge challenge but I'm excited for the glitz and glamour of the show."
Josh Jones
Age: 31
Known For: Comedian
"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. My dancing isn't great either, for a gay man I have no rhythm, I struggle to clap along to a beat so this will be fun."
Michaela Strachan
Age: 58
Known For: Wildlife presenter
"It's going to be a big challenge. The last time I was on ice was four years ago when I took the kids... I'm not one of those people who holds onto the sides. I guess because I was trained as a dancer I've got a bit of balance."
Mollie Pearce
Age: 22
Known For: The Traitors runner-up
"It will be fun. I want to challenge myself, I'm ready for the challenge."
Sam Aston
Age: 31
Known For: Coronation Street's Chesney Brown
"I'm nervous but excited to get going. It's going to be nice for the public to see me for me rather than Chesney!"
Sir Steve Redgrave
Age: 62
Known For: Olympics rowing legend
"It's like going back to being an athlete again. I've been competing most of my life."
