Dancing On Ice: Date, judges, contestants and more

Dancing On Ice will return for a 17th series in 2025.

The long-running reality show sees 12 celebrities and their professional partners display their best moves, with the added impediment of doing so on ice. 

Here's everything you need to know about the programme.

Dancing On Ice 2025 dates

Though an official start date is to be confirmed, Dancing On Ice typically airs on the second Sunday of January and will conclude in March.

Dancing On Ice 2025 venue

The series will be filmed at Bovingdon Airfield in Hertfordshire.

Previously an RAF base, it was first used as a studio by ITV in 2018 and Dancing On Ice has an arena purposely built for the show.

Dancing On Ice 2025 judges

Diversity star Ashley Banjo, who has been part of the panel since the show returned in 2018, has been confirmed as continuing as a judge.

He will again be joined by former Strictly Come Dancing star Oti Mabuse, who first appeared in 2022.

They will work alongside Britain's most iconic ice dancing duo, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, who won gold together at the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo in 1984.

Torvill and Dean, who have appeared on every episode of the show, will also likely act as mentors to the competitors alongside their judging duties.
