Season 15 of Dancing on Ice premiered last night on ITV: https://www.itv.com/watch/dancing-on-ice/2a5040

Excerpt from ITV's press release (Jan. 12, 2023): https://www.itv.com/presscentre/press-packs/dancing-ice

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby return as hosts. Meanwhile, ice royalty Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean resume their roles as judges on the ice panel alongside dancers Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse.

The celebrity competitors taking part in the new series are actress and DJ Patsy Palmer, football legend John Fashanu, Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, olympic gymnast Nile Wilson, Coronation Street’s Mollie Gallagher, Drag Queen and TV personality The Vivienne, TV personality Joey Essex, comedian Darren Harriott, actress and West End star Carley Stenson, singer Michelle Heaton and The Wanted’s Siva Kaneswaran.

Guiding the celebrity novices from their shaky first steps to spectacular routines are their professional partners. A new addition to the 2023 line-up is world-class ice dancer Olivia Smart. Returning to the new series are three Dancing on Ice favourites – Sylvain Longchambon, who last skated in the 2019 series and Vicky Ogden and Klabera Komini who both last skated in the 2021 series. Meanwhile, Matt Evers, who has been a part of Dancing on Ice since it launched in 2006, returns to the show alongside fellow series favourites Alexandra Schauman and husband Łukasz Różycki, Mark Hanretty, Brendyn Hatfield, Vanessa Bauer, Tippy Packard and Colin Grafton.

Before their debut last night, Olivia Smart's celebrity partner, GBR Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson, posted a 15-minute video titled "The TRUTH About Training for Dancing on Ice!?" on his YT channel yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD6cVo3cc3Q

Olivia and Niles - first week. He looks good, but I still can't make out what he's saying half the time. (That's on me, not a criticism of him. :))

We loved Dancing On Ice when Australia had its own version back in 2006. Too bad it wasn't picked up for a second season.

Apparently, a lot of the celebrities experienced minor and major training injuries during its run. Having watched Niles' video, we're not surprised.

I'm glad that viperous Jason Gardiner isn't a judge on DOI anymore.

Other than creating controversy to boost ratings, I thought his presence created such a negative and toxic vibe.

He speaks so quickly when he gets excited, too.

For some reason, I am reminded of when I saw the show COME FROM AWAY. It took me a few minutes to adjust to the Newfoundland accents the actors used.
