Dancing on Ice is due back on screens in a matter of months, with 12 new celebrity contestants being unveiled throughout the day. Season 17 of ITV’s ice skating competition will return to screens in 2025. An exact date is yet to be confirmed, but it is expected to air in January as has been the case for previous seasons, with contestants starting training as early as next week.
It is understood that Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern will host the forthcoming series together for a second time. Deal or No Deal star Mulhern replaced Phillip Schofield last year when he quit the network after admitting an “unwise but not illegal affair” with a younger male colleague. On Monday (30 September), ITV announced the cast for the new season with confirmed contestants already including reality TV stars and broadcasters.
