Dancing on Ice returned to ITV1 and ITVX with a new cast tonight - and fans 'think they know' who will win the whole series already.
Tonight's episode saw Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby return as hosts as six celebrities took to the ice - with a further six set to take to the rink for the first time next weekend.
Patsy Palmer, John Fashanu, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Nile Wilson, Mollie Gallagher, The Vivienne, Joey Essex, Darren Harriott, Carley Stenson, Michelle Heaton and Siva Kaneswaran are among the celebrity line up this year. But it seems fans already have a favourite.

Ashley Banjo agreed as he said: "That really surprised me." He added: "You were out here working the crowd."
