Dancing On Ice pros revealed! Meet the new and returning professional skaters

Dancing On Ice’s pro line up will see some familiar faces – and a lot of new ones.

Dancing On Ice originally ran between 2006 and 2014 but will be back on TV in January for a tenth series on ITV.

It’s already been confirmed that a total of 12 celebrities will be skating to impress the ice panel, consisting of skating legends Torvill and Dean, show favourite Jason Gardiner and new judge Ashley Banjo, as well as the viewers at home.

But the ice panel isn’t the only change, with the pro skaters also getting a refresh.

Brianne Delcourt will be the only returning female pro while male pros Sylvain Longchambon, Matt Evers and Dan Whiston will be making a come back.

“It was a no-brainer for bosses to bring back Brianne for the new show,” a source told The Sun newspaper. “She is a real pocket rocket.”

They added: “Sylvain, Matt and Dan were clear favourites among viewers and producers felt the new series wouldn’t be the same without them.”
