Dancing on Ice is ready to return for a new season, just in time to help overcome the January blues.
This year marks the 15th season of the show, which has remained popular since its inception in 2006.
Celebrities such as RuPaul’s Drag Race champion The Vivienne, Love Island star Ekin-Su, and EastEnders legend Patsy Palmer will be attempting to defeat their rivals and win the challenge.
Here’s how to stay up to date on Dancing on Ice 2023 and what to expect…
When does Dancing on Ice start?
Dancing on Ice 2023 returns at 6.30pm on Sunday, January 15.
The show will air live on ITV1.
However, you will be able to watch it live or later by using the ITVX player.
Dancing on Ice debuted at the same time last year (January 16) and ended on March 27, 2022, so this year’s series could end around the same time.
What to expect from the new series: from the judges panel to running time changes
Last year’s four judges are all back. Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have been on the show from its start, and they are joined once again by Ashley Banjo.
Since 2018, the Diversity dancer has appeared on the show.
Oti Mabuse, who joined the judging panel in 2021, completes the panel.

One major change to expect is the run time of the episodes.
A statement on social media announcing the series read: ‘This year the series is reduced to 90 minutes per episode; so rather than 6 dances in 2 hours, we’ll now have 11 dances in just an hour and a half.’
The full line up of celebs and their professional partners this year include:
- Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Brendyn Hatfield
- Siva Kaneswaran and Klabera Komini
- Michelle Heaton and Łukasz Różycki
- Darren Harriott and Tippy Packard
- Mollie Gallagher and Sylvain Longchambon
- Joey Essex and Vanessa Bauer
- Carley Stenson and Mark Hanretty
- The Vivienne and Colin Grafton
- Nile Wilson and Olivia Smart
- John Fashanu and Alexandra Schauman
- Patsy Palmer and Matt Evers
Who won Dancing on Ice 2022?
Last year, Regan Gascoigne and his professional skating partner Karina Manta were crowned Dancing on Ice champions.
Regan, son of football legend Paul Gascoigne, struggled to hold back tears as he hoisted the trophy, saying, ‘I am so overwhelmed, I never believed it was possible.’
Judge Jayne Torvill was moved to tears by Regan’s creative performance, which was inspired by the circus and Torvill and Dean’s Barnum performance from the World Championships in 1983.
She told him: ‘It is great to see that again, it puts a smile on my face every time I watch it, I think it is the fact that I know how difficult some of those moves are.’
