The stars on the Dancing On Ice live tour line up have been announced.
And as well as the celebrities, a special guest judge for the live arena shows has been revealed today.
X Factor star Jake Quickenden, Bucks Fizz legend Cheryl Baker, media personality Donna Air and rugby ace Max Evans will be getting their skates on for the Dancing on Ice Live UK Tour, which kicks off in March.
Kem Cetinay, Alex Beresford and two-time Dancing on Ice champion Ray Quinn will join the celebrity line-up for the live ice spectacular .
This year’s comeback tour will also feature a special guest judge; TV and West End star Denise Van Outen, who will join the ice panel hot on the heels of her judging duties on Ireland’s Got Talent.
Denise and the celebrity contestants will be joining Dancing on Ice Head Judges and live tour hosts, skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, on the road this spring when the Dancing on Ice Live UK Tour skates up and down the country.
Jake Quickenden has wowed both fans and the judges on the ITV show with his impressive skating which has seen him top of the leader board three times since the series began.
Eliminated this month, Cheryl Baker hasn’t had such an easy time since taking to the ice, but has entertained viewers with her best efforts and quick witted responses to the judges’ comments.
Max Evans has proved he’s just as fast on the ice as the rugby pitch, impressing the TV Ice Panel with his skating week after week.
Love Island winner Kem Cetinay will be switching the sunny island of Majorca for arenas across the country.
Good Morning Britain weatherman Alex Beresford will be skating on the very substance he warns viewers about most days.
Returning to the Dancing on Ice tour is two-time champion Ray Quinn. Winner of the 2009 ITV series and the ‘All Star’ series in 2014.
Donna Air, the final celebrity to join the line-up said: “I never imagined I would get this far in the competition, I have completely fallen in love with skating. So being asked to join the live tour is an absolute dream come true!”
Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Denise Van Outen is no stranger to judging panels as the Loose Women regular is currently judging on Ireland’s Got Talent and previously judged on BBC1’s ‘I’d Do Anything’ and ‘Any Dream Will Do’.
Denise said: “I’m so excited to be working on the Dancing on Ice Tour and cannot wait to see the skaters wow the audiences in the arenas. It’s going to be spectacular and as a fan of the show, I’m delighted to join the Ice Family!”
More celebs will be announced in the coming weeks.
