tvProfessional dancers Hamish Gaman, Yebin Mok and Klabera Komini will be leaving ITV's Dancing on Ice and are being replaced on next years season of the show.

Hamish and Yebin were both forced out of this year's competition early due to freak incidents which resulted in injuries.

Yebin, the South Korean skater, was injured while in training for the launch night of the show when her dance partner, Graham Bell, accidentally stabbed her in the leg with the blade on his boot.

While her tendons were left exposed and she needed an operation to repair the damage, she was still lucky enough to not suffer any nerve damage.

However, the injury still meant that she had to withdraw from the competition and could have a long-lasting effect on her dancing career.

While Yebin was injured near the start of the show, Hamish was heading towards the finals when he tore a tendon in his hand - while pulling up his socks.

The injury meant he was unable to lift his partner, Faye Brooks, meaning he had to also withdraw from the competition.

With the three famous faces leaving the show, it means there will be three fresh faces joining.

Morgan Swales, 22, is one of the newbies to join the show.

She competes for Great Britain as a professional Ice Skater and has been skating since the age of nine.

Tippy Packard is another of the new faces to the show.

The world figure skating competitor has toured more than 40 countries and is a three-time Hong Kong champion.

And finally, 30-year-old Colin Grafton will also be joining the professional line-up.

He has been skating since he was seven and has competed internationally as part of Team USA.

Some of the celebrities selected to pair up with the pros for 2022 include Love Island's Liberty Poole, S Club 7's Rachel Stevens and Presenter Ben Fogle.

All of the stars are currently in training preparing themselves for the competition which is due to air sometime in the new year.

Dancing On Ice will return to ITV and ITV Hub in the new year.
