Dancing On Ice is back underway again for another year of spins, spills and spectacular outfits.
With Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield back at the helm for another year, the primetime show welcomes a stellar lineup of celebrities onto the ice to battle it out for the coveted trophy.
On this year's show, the likes of Happy Monday's Bez, Coronation Street's Sally Dyenvor, Strictly Come Dancing's Brendan Cole and the Pussycat Dolls' Kimberly Wyatt are all famous faces learning the ropes - but what about the other half of the competitors in the battle?
The pro skaters are, as well as being enormously talented, something of celebrities in their own right. Take this year's famous dancer Brendan as a prime example after he made his name as a pro on rival dance competition Strictly.
But with 12 celebrities battling it out, remembering the details of all 14 of the highly skilled, finely tuned athletes they call their dance partners can be a challenge.
Two dancers are on the subs bench for support and back up in case of injuries.
Read on for the full list.
