Who are the new Dancing On Ice 2022 professional skaters?

Morgan Swales

Morgan Swales is joining the Dancing On Ice 2022 professional skaters line-up and has competed for Great Britain.

She began skating when she was just nine-years-old, with Dancing On Ice being her inspiration.

The athlete won her first medal at 13 but, more recently, you'll have seen her on Netflix's Zero Chill as a stunt double for the lead character Kayla MacBentley (Grace Beedie).

Tippy Packard

Bringing impressive credentials to the rink, including being a three-time Hong Kong Champion and World Figure Skating competitor, is Tippy Packard.

The 25-year-old ice skater has already got experience with coaching the next generation of figure skaters, and she's also toured more than 40 countries as a show skater.

Colin Grafton

While Morgan may have looked to Dancing On Ice for inspiration, Colin Grafton began ice skating at just seven-years-old after watching the 1998 winter Olympics.

The 30-year-old has competed for Team USA and starred in some of the most prestigious ice skating shows around the globe.
