Dancing On Ice 2021 will go ahead next week despite new Government lockdown measures.
The skating competition has confirmed a start date and time for the new series, although things are set to look very different amid the introduction of stricter coronavirus rules across the UK.
ITV has put a number of measures in place to make sure the cast and crew can maintain social distancing and work safely.
As well as removing the live audience for the first time in the series' history, Dancing On Ice has also introduced perspex screens between judges on the panel and set up a dedicated area for the celebrities and their professional partners to watch the show.
The cast will now become the audience, much like Strictly Come Dancing, and they will be watching from the all-new socially distanced cabaret style tables.
A spokesperson told The Mirror: "We have stringent protocols in place to ensure the health and safety of all our contributors and staff which are routinely monitored and updated to reflect the current guidelines."
The set changes come following a change to the format this year with the introduction of the Golden Ticket.
